One thing that doesn't seem right about evolution is the relatively small amount of intermediaries that seem to be found. I know that fossils only are formed sporadically and rarely, but why are there so few species found. Let's take Stegosaurus or Tyrannosaurus Rex. Wikipedia says there are 30 fossil specimens of T Rex, I don't know whether is complete skeleton or partial find. If there were millions of T Rex individuals, shouldn't there be tens of millions of intermediaries before T Rex. So when we find these random fossils, wouldn't we find as many intermediaries as T Rex specimens?? So if there are 700 Dinosaurs named, I would think there are tens of thousands of fossils to represent these 700 species. If evolution was true, i would think there should be many thousands of dinosaur species, showing all the intermediaries, instead of these distinct species with apparent wide gaps of missing evidence. The fossil record should show incremental changes in most of the lineage. Now I know there is some incremental finds, aren't whales and horses a good example?, but there should be so much more.
And then I see that dinosaur that has some feathers, Archeopteryx, personally that seems like a very weak link between dinosaurs and birds, instead of the definitive proof that so many make it to be.

Might one of these existing threads be appropriate for what you want to discuss:
