I hate to have to agree with supersport, but the available scientific evidence simply does not support evolution.
I think it's hard for a lot of pro-Darwinists to accept these blatantly obvious facts because of the use of Darwinism as a counter to the mental tyrrany imposed by the various groups of Creationists, as if one or the other is the only possible alternative.
So far, there has been only one "likely" transition species found in the fossil record (announced a few weeks ago, I believe), and there's no way to prove that it's genuinely a transition species. Evolutionists see it as obviously so, quite possibly because they're seeing what they want to see, and Creationists remain unconvinced, quite possible because they're seeing what they want to see.
There are no known cases of transition species alive today, despite the fact that evolution, as described by Darwin, ought to be giving us examples right now.
Curious that we lack any sort of evidence of this, don't you think? I mean, what's the probability that a gradual process that's supposedly been going on for millions of years suddenly lacks a current example?
Well, if you evaluate the fossil record, there aren't much in the way of transition species ever recorded. What the fossil record continues to show is periods of stability followed by some sort of event that brings about a major extinction, followed by the sudden appearance of a large number of new species, followed by a long period of stability, followed by an extinction event, followed by the sudden appearance of a large number of new species... That's what's in the fossil record. It is clearly
not Darwin's evolution.
No amount of wishing it were so changes that simple fact.
If evolutionists want the creationists to believe in dinosaurs, because that's what's in the fossil record, shouldn't evolutionists step up to the plate and accept all of the fossil record, including the simple fact that the fossil record does not support Darwin's evolution, rather than picking and choosing which parts of the Bible, er, fossil record to believe in?
Science has never once advanced by holding onto older theories when challenged by contradictory data.
