There is no fossil evidence of a transitional species.

Yeah, there is -- aplenty. Microfossil records for the Cenozoic show sudden mutations of extant forms into new forms under the influence of greatly-increased cosmic radiation during periods when the Van Allen Belts collapse during an earth-magnetic reversal. We are coming up on one in a few hundred years, by the way ..... get your lead-lined burnooses while they're cheap.

But let's say Carson is wrong about evolution factually, as an article of faith. Similar complaints can (and will) be levelled by atheists against Catholic belief in Transubstantiation, which is a core mystic belief of the Catholic Church. See where I'm going?

Atheists and materialists don't get to hold school and grade theists and Christians. They just don't. Not in our society.

We just had a confrontation like that in Houston, where a gay mayor rammed through an ordinance that could have jailed or fined "non-reconciling" ministers preaching 140-proof Leviticus. (They were beaten like a drum by the People on Tuesday, by referendum.) So here they come again, along a different vector, for Dr. Carson.

This must be the latest lie for the Darwinists. How many millions of transitional fossils would there have to be from snail to horse and there are none. I imagine your claim is just as false.

What cho talkin’ ‘bout, Willis? I’ve never heard that one but my micropaleontology is a bit dated. Forams, radiolarians?

SO some scientist somewhere theorized that hypothesis, but there is no evidence that one microfossil is the descendant of another microfossil. There is absolutely no way to prove that. I read all of the latest Biology textbooks and where they make those claims, they ALWAYS use modifiers; might have produced, could have descended from, probably descended from, etc. You read some line in a blog somewhere and regurgitated it whole cloth.

Using the phrase “Explosion of new species” during the Cenozoic era is not at all inappropriate and it is a great argument for evolution.

And I am aware of the possible collapse of the Van Allen belt and I have a rather fashionable chapeau of lead ready to go. A bit heavy and I had trouble attaching the bull horns to the headpiece, but it is ready to rock and roll....LOL
