    Present some examples of reptile like creatures in transition to birds   
   then.   
   It's only because I've never been made aware of any that I believe they don't   
   exist.

    If God does exist I have confidence that he wouldn't be restricted to any   
   particular form or gender, and also that people of all faiths have incorrect   
   beliefs about him.

   anything...LOL...hilarious!!!
