Do you think that the millions of years that the planet has existed are enough for so many SUPERDUPERULTRASLOW transformations that these scientists talk about?

The earth isn't anywhere near that young. If you want to question scientific facts at least get the fact you are questioning correct.

There should be at least some fossils with developing arms, legs, wings, eyes, and other bones and organs. For instance, there should be fish fins changing into amphibian legs with feet and toes, and gills changing into lungs. There should be reptiles with front limbs changing into bird wings, back limbs changing into legs with claws, scales changing into feathers, and mouths changing into horny beaks.
That's because there was no evolutionary pressure resulting in any significant change. Evolution doesn't just 'happen'. Please enlighten yourself on what drives evolution and you might then understand why there are organisms that have changed very little over eons.
I can only hope that in this day and age when Science has proven it's accuracy a billion-fold, that even Religious people here see how misguided the OP is.Eloi wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2023 1:43 am ... is that evolutionists not only say that some animal species come from previous ones, but they also say that each plant species comes from another previous one (or that they used to say BEFORE)... This, after, according to them, plants stopped living in the water to start living on land... kind of like when fish ceasing to be aquatic to become semi-terrestrial amphibians ... or humans stopped living in caves to start building houses![]()

Abstract
Soon after the origin of RNA-based life, depletion of prebiotically synthesised ribonucleotides would have driven the evolution of a biosynthetic pathway to these key building blocks. Ribozyme-catalysed nucleosidation—the key biosynthetic step—requires that ribose and the nucleobases are produced by abiotic chemistry and are relatively stable to the conditions of their synthesis. The most plausible prebiotic synthesis of sugars involves photoreduction of cyanohydrins by hydrogen sulphide in the presence of copper(I) cyanide, and we therefore subjected ribose to these conditions whereupon it was partially converted to 2-deoxyribose. Furthermore, a derivative of uracil is reduced under similar conditions to thymine. Thus, DNA biosynthetic precursors can be formed abiotically from those of RNA allowing for an early evolutionary transition to life based on RNA and DNA.
That sounds like a Nazi slogan to me.
... that sounds like a Gregorian chant to me.
