I think we might make some progress if you didn't post anything for a week and instead spent your time trying to find a single evolutionary biologist that believes that evolutionary theory says that anything like this is possible.
Once you've done that and found that no biologists thinks that this is how evolution works, you need to ask yourself what you've got wrong. You've built yourself a straw man here - and elsewhere - and you need to go looking for it if you want to be more successful when you argue with people who actually know a little bit about the subject.

Well, quite. That's a good start.

Can now somebody tell me how they think it DOES happen?
Given that you admit that you don't know how evolution works, don't you think that you should study it a little before you take the giant step of telling us all that the fossil record disproves it?
A little humility goes a long way.
