Alright, let me see if I have the argument correct:
1. Schindewolf only proposes gaps at the "beginning of types".
Q. Does this mean he believed in special creation of these types? Are you arguing for special creation of types? That's the kind of reasoning it seems to be. presumably the horse is a type. At the beginning, you're saying that there is a gap. For surely the horse had an ancestor, right? If the horse did have an ancestor, then there is a gap--and it is not in the beginning. If the horse did not have an ancestor, you must be arguing for special creation.
2. The fossil record is a complete record of all life on earth-ever. There are no gaps in the fossil record, because everything that ever lived fossilized.
Q. If this is indeed the argument, do you have evidence that everything that ever lived fossilized? If not, how can you say what once lived and what did not? If so, could you please present the data for rate of fossilization.
