Re: Missing links are all around you
Welcome to the forum. Note that we usually like to see assertions substantiated and logically presented. Opinion is just that, and you are welcome to it, but it is invalid as an argument in an arena of facts and validated theory.
All individuals are transitional forms between their parents generation and their offsprings (if they have any) generation.
You are different from your parents and your siblings and your (if you have any) children. Without you the children would not exist, without your parents, you would not exist.
You also likely know people who died without reproducing or who are sterile. Their line ends with them, it is extinct.
There is no difference between this and all the species in the fossil record. The only difference is that the fossil record is a series of snapshots of distant aunts and uncles that no-one remembers the names of anymore.
Enjoy.
ps you can take your "carbon dating would not even be possible" concern to the {{Age Correlations and an Old Earth: Part II.}} thread if you want to discuss it. There are also topics already running on the other {{proscribed}} areas of your post that admin should be able to direct you to.

Let's try a different tack. Exactly which species do you propose are not transitional forms?
AND back it up with evidence of fossils that are identical from many different ages. Any thing less involves change and change is ...
... transitional.
This is what a valid alternative interpretation of the fossil record would entail, btw.
Enjoy.
