Thanks again for your responses, Suzie.
Most species exhibit no directional change during their tenure on earth.
The point is Suzie that there are scientists out there who are just as educated as yourself who claim that there are no transitional fossils. They also decided that Archaeopteryx was not necessarily the ancestor of the modern bird. If it wasn't a reptile, and it is a bird, then it is not a transitional fossil as you calim. Adonai could have created this creature fully forned. So again, this is a theory based upon faith, and not obervable science.
