See, I can be condescending too. Not that it's worth it with you.
So, Daniel, is it your understanding that the fossil record has a record of every thing that ever lived?
| Quote | | I'd like to draw your attention especially to item 2 in his list - the abundant evidence for smooth, gradual transitional evolution - which actually runs in parallel to these infrequent appearances of new forms; acting as a kind of control (if I'm using that term correctly) for the data. |
So, item A, a smooth, gradual transitional set of fossils.
Item B, infrequent appearances of new fossil forms.
Both items have the same chance of being preserved (100%?) and as item B shows "jumps" that's proof of intervention by an external force (your god)? As Item A does not show the same "jumps" you conclude that god interfered with the development of item B but not A? Why? Why not interfere with both? Does logic even stand a chance here?
Is that it? Is that your understanding? |
Not even close.
