And yet no transitionals between non-sea urchins and sea urchins.

Actually, I believe that sea-urchins have one of the best transitional fossil records available and there is also a good genetic mapping of evolution backwards to sea stars, sand dollars, and simpler and simpler organisms whose relatives still exist today.

It's good to be a sea urchin.

That’s my point. The Evos don’t have transitionals. All they have are separate and distinct species that their world view compells them to **believe** are transitionals. Yet more proof that goo-to-you evolution is based on faith, not science.

Sshhh...every time you say that, a Creationist winks out of existence!

And just to add insult to injury, there's no fossil record to prove he ever existed at all!

Before the sea urchins were the sea ur-chinless, which didn't have mouths large enough for teeth so they had to “gum” the limestone until selective pressure provided them with little dentures while primitive-evolutionary-orthodonistry was designing teeth for them.
