Assertion 5.5: There are no transitional forms between humans and their nonhuman ancestors.
Analysis:
Creationists are nearly unanimous in their rejection of human evolution, viewing it as the most serious offender against religion in modern science. Creationists tend to view the idea of human evolution not only as a repudiation of the creation of Adam and Eve, and supposedly therefore of the Fall of Man and the need for Christ (but see 6.7), but also as an affront to human dignity (but see 6.11) and an engine powering immorality (but see 6.9 and 6.10). Unfortunately for them, the evolution of humans from nonhuman hominid ancestors is actually one of the best attested transitions in the fossil record.
Most creationists claim that there is a sharp dividing line somewhere among the extent fossil specimens of Homo habilis and Homo erectus, with humans on one side of the line, and "apes" on the other side. However, as Jim Foley discovered in tabulating creationist classifications of individual fossils, the transitional nature of these fossils is so clear, the transition from one to the other so smooth, that the creationists cannot agree with one another about which ones represent humans and which ones represent apes. This is one part of Foley's talk.origins Fossil Hominds FAQ, to which the reader is directed for more information on human evolution.
