People who believe as you do will no doubt support you in your belief system. No one else will. Ion, you talk as though I am a majority of one. Here are what some prominent evolutionary scientists say on the matter: The noted palaeontologist Stephen Jay Gould of Harvard pointed out that:- "The fossil record with its abrupt transitions offers no support for gradual change ........ All palaeontologists know that the fossil record contains precious little in the way of intermediate forms; transitions between major groups are characteristically abrupt" (Gould, 1977). Also Dr T S Kemp, Curator of Zoological collections, Oxford University said:-"With few exceptions, radically new kinds of organisms appear for the first time in the fossil record already fully evolved, with most of their characteristic features present". (Kemp, 1999). Evolutionist David Raup, Curator of Geology at Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History also said:- "The evidence we find in the geological record is not nearly as compatible with Darwinian natural selection as we would like it to be ....We now have a quarter of a million fossil species but the situation hasn't changed much. The record of evolution is surprisingly jerky and, ironically, we have even fewer examples of evolutionary transition than in Darwin's time ... so Darwin's problem has not been alleviated (Raup, Field museum of Natural History Bulletin). I selected these examples from literally hundreds of similar quotations from evolutionists themselves. Is this a case of, "All the world's gone mad but thee and me -- and sometimes I worry about thee."? On your part ... or mine? :-)
