Re: What does the fossil record suggest?
quote:
Ned: Just what do you think the fossil records suggests to us?
DS: That a vast number of fossils exist, ...
Wow, that's almost as much information as JP gives us when he says that 'billion of animals died and were buried...' Is this all that you think the fossil record says? Surely, you can't expect us to take you seriously.
quote:
....with the obvious exception being any evidence of macroevolution which would require a vast number of transitionals to also be present in the fossil record. They are not there. While there are claims of some fossils being transitionals, opposing views debunk this notion.
Actually, they only disagree. And they have not been successful at defending their viewpoint.
quote:
Therefore, no transitionals, ...
Nope. Does not logically follow.
quote:
...no evidence of macroevolution ever having occurred.
Well, taking into account your understanding of the fossil record, true. Sad, but true.
quote:
If vast numbers of transitionals were found, inspiring a true concensus on the reality of transitionals, or if macroevolution was ever observed, I would be willing to alter my opinion.
I have always contended that they are all transitionals... But more to the point, evolution actually predicts no such thing. Then how do you explain the transitionals that we have? Simply require more? Now it must be a VAST number of transitionals...
quote:
Until that time, macroevolution remains an unsubstantiated myth perpetuated by wishful thinking.
LOL! Coming from a YEC, this is pretty good stuff! Please explain the evidence present in the fossil record (ooops! you already ignored that!).
