Haeckels' Drawings Part II

There are no countable "steps," Randman. There is nothing but "microevolution," a continuous process. Every once in a while a snapshot is taken in the form of a fossil. This happens by chance. There are, one would assume, many extinct species that were not fossilized. Finding a fossil occurs by chance. There are, one would assume, many fossils that will never be found. But if you find a number of "transitional" forms, and you do so over and over for many evolutionary lines, and you combine that with the DNA evidence from living species, showing the close relationship between, for example, ape and man, the evidence is very convincing.

Or another way to put it would be to say that every generation is a "step."
