We mean that all the changes between a camel and its mouse like ancester should be evident in the fossil record. All the way to today and many examlpes of the different kinds along the way.
Instead zilch
Wrong on both counts my good man.All the changes should
only be evident in a
perfect fossil record.No such thing exists and so we are left with an incomplete record and must examine it carefully and use our understanding of the bone structure of animals to surmise the most likely scenario for the fossil record that we do have.
So zilch is also wrong because even though the fossil record isn't perfect we can apply our intellect to following the
evidence and see what the
evidence gives us amd combined with our thinking capabilities in concert with others who are observing the same
evidence come to some sort of concensus as to the means by which this came about.
It is best not to deal with absolute stances in a field where the preponderance of
evidence from a
vast number of scientific disciplines comes to the same consensus.Now if you have a beef about something specific rather than a general dislike of an overall field of study please make your case on that specific issue
unless you have a viable refutation of the work of all these people in these different disciplines have come to agree upon.
That is a nasty word
evidence isn't it since it really does not care whether your beliefs conflict with it or not,as that is only your problem?Ideas about the facts cannot contradict the evidence of those facts.Pity the world has no obligation to accomodate our wishes to the contrary.
