Hasn't Lucy been put to bed? Find a chimp skeleton and everyone goes crazy. Shows the desperation to even find one when they should see millions of transitional forms that have yet to materialize.

Lucy is old news, undone.
Of course, you wouldn't know that, what with your head stuck so far up your arse.
You seem to be unfamiliar with the process of fossilisation. You see, not everything that dies will leave a fossil. Also, we've found plenty of transitional forms. In fact, look up the following:
Lucy
Chimp
Transitional form
Fossilisation
It would depend on what sense undone means put to bed’. If he/she/it means she has ended the hopes of creationists, then indeed the issue has been put to bed. If he/she/it means she has been debunked, then indeed the issue has not been put to bed.
The only desperation we see is from fundies that go crazy when a new trasitional form is found.
Evolution, we have the fossils, we win.
Lucy is long dead, no use in putting her to bed. Oh, and she was an Australopithecus, not a chimp.
Every single fossil that has ever been found is a transitional form, just as you are the transitional form between you parents and your children.
Millions doesn't cover it, try billions. Museums around the world are filled with transitional forms, so there is no desperation whatsoever in that sense. The desperation is to find a new "missing link", but as all sane people know, that just creates two new missing links, so it's not an end-goal, in any way.
Last week, a guy in Sweden revealed that he had found a piece of a leg-bone of a meat-eating dinosaur that wasn't previously known to have lived in this area. He's just an amateur paleontologist, but even he found one...
Swedish pupil finds rare dinosaur remains.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
