Transitional fossils not proof of evolution?

quote:

---

A famous British paleontologist Derek V. Agar approves this fact: “The point emerges that if we examine the fossil record in detail, whether at the level of orders or of species, we find-over and over again-not gradual evolution, but the sudden explosion of one group at the expense of another”.

Where is this from? Who is Agar? I find no reference to him anywhere but islam sites. In what context is he making that statement? He's a proponet of PE isn't he?

You did see Belfry's post - it's AgEr?

quote:

---

He quoted that life forms in the Camberian era seem to be planted on Earth as if they have no evolutionary past.

Where does he say this? What's the actual quote*? Provide it and we can discuss further the context of in which he was speaking.*Let me give you a clue - I already know and I already know that your answer will contain a gap in the quote - a gap like this "..." but let us play a little hand of quote-mine anyway - it's educational for people reading.
