I know the record for plants is better, but no one gets plant evolution. However, some of the animal lineages are filling in nicely. Sure, they aren't complete- but they never will be.

I posted an excellent article about fossil formation- I'm sure I'm the only one who read it, but you might like to take a look at it. It was really interesting. It's back a ways, down thread.

Your expectations are naive

I don't have any expectations. Your explanation of the fossil record was very good. I think it is the evolutionists who are disappointed that they can't find fossil proof for the theory. The distinguished paleontologist Colin Patterson said near the end of his career that he was less convinced about evolution than when he began his career. Perhaps "that's all she wrote" when it comes to evolution if the fossil evidence just isn't there.

cos, Even if the proof were available for complete fossil records going back to the first organize protoplasm that could replicate, it would not discount the idea of purposeful creation. Would it?
