I thank God for ya'll!! Spread the truth! I got my degree in Bio-Medical Sciences, so as you can imagine I have a lot of books with information about Biology, Microbiology, Chemistry, etc...and all of them started off discussing evolution...but not ONE of them had an actual picture for proof of evolutionary transitioning...only DRAWINGS!

Not one had a picture of an archaeopteryx fossil? You've never seen an archaeopteryx fossil in a museum?
Are your pants on fire?
Buying a second hand one on eBay doesn't count as getting a degree.
Oh, and by the way, the illustrations are there to show what the animal looked like which would be pretty hard to do from a crappy photo reprint of a fossil in a textbook.
"not ONE of them had an actual picture for proof of evolutionary transitioning...only DRAWINGS!"
FYI - grownups call them illustrations, not drawings. Think about what that word means.
My college must really suck. Most of my textbooks didn't have anything but text.
@ Captain Janeway - not entirely true:

He's probably a pretty poor lab technician at best. The bio refers to the biopharm industry, not the medical industry, although obviously the two are closely linked.
1. A drawing is a kind of picture.
2. Surely there were photos of fossils.
Captain Janeway: Some colleges have bio-medical engineering majors, which focus on the creation of better prostheses and lab-grown replacement organs.
@ Captain Janeway
There is no such term as bio-medical science.
Uhm... Yeah, there is. Several universities have offered the course for four years now, it got renamed this year to Biomedical enginering.
Of course there are no elaborate explanations of evolution is the curriculum, it's not important to the field.
What, you're expecting photographs from SEVERAL MILLION YEARS AGO proving macro-evolution? Idiot. Take a trip to a natural science museum, NOT a creation museum.
Did you get your degree through the mail, a la Sally Struthers? Was it a tossup between locksmithing and Bio-Medical Sciences? It is AMAZING to me how stupid you are with the education you claim to have.
bio-chemistry is my major... what idiotic school do you attend?
My books cost me an arm and a leg because of the photos, diagrams, etc. so I'm guessing your a liar.
but not ONE of them had an actual picture for proof of evolutionary transitioning
But then the same could be said about the process of "aging"; show me a picture that clearly shows you growing older and if you can't then that means that:
a) We don't grow old.
b) Aging is just a myth created by *insert evil organization*.
c) And the senior citizens are probably just guys who did a lot of drugs in college.
A still picture only captures a single instance in time yet a process like evolution happens gradually over millions of years. Though you could, theoretically, make a video of the evolutionary process, granted that you were immortal, had the capacity to capture and store yottabytes of visual data, and then the hardware muscle to play a 100 million year long video in a matter of a few days (played REALLY fast).
Edit: Alternatively you could try traveling away from the planet earth at a few hundreds of times the speed of light, and on your way back with a powerful enough telescope you could observe the evolutionary process directly.
If this person spent at least 2 years studying these books, and didn't fail out of uni for not reading a word, then I simply can't believe that they STILL WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND EVOLUTION ENOUGH TO GET WHY THERE AREN'T ANY PHOTOS.
My guess is Krys has stumbled upon a textbook discussing evolution at some point and flicked through looking at the pictures, as she/he is obviously incapable of reading.

AWESOME IDEA! *starts building*

Yeah cos Ansel Adams took photographs of the day God created earth........
[no offence to Mr. Adams, he was the only photograpgher I could think off!]
There's no way anyone who actually got a degree would say "Biology, Microbiology, Chemistry, ETC."
I'm too tired to make fun of you, so I'll just repeat the most hilarious bits of your post"
"ya'll!!"
"an actual picture for proof"
"evolutionary transitioning"
"I have a lot of books with information about"
"DRAWINGS!"
WHAT? There were no cameras million years ago?
Why do Chemistry books start off discussing evolution?
Is your degree from Liberty University? (Their motto is Knowledge Aflame? Book-burnings on the curriculum or what?)
... not ONE of them had an actual picture...
As opposed to all those Matthew Bradys of Jesus, Moses, and Adam.
Did "y'all" also study up on that there nucular fishin', Cletus? Huh?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
