... there is enough evidence in the fossil record to piece together how evolution has proceeded throughout the last few billions of year.

Please note: There is a dearth of evidence to support the theory of a common ancestor. Yet Darwinists continue to promote the idea of a common ancestor: They want there to be a common ancestor; for it obviates the need for a creator God.

There was nothing "gradual" about the Cambrian explosion. And predecessor transitional life forms are simply absent from the fossil record.

Macroevolution is perhaps the greatest Myth of our age....

"There was nothing "gradual" about the Cambrian explosion. And predecessor transitional life forms are simply absent from the fossil record."

Which is why Stephen J. Gould came up with his theory of 'punctuated equilibrium', not only for the Cambrian 'explosion' but for all of macro-evolution.

You remember punk-eek, right? The theory that 'predicted' that the evidence wouldn't exist to explain why the evidence doesn't exist?

Prolly satisfies the 'empirical' definition that some scientists like to use...

Indeed. Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
