Ahem. I beg to differ. The fossil sequence is a cornerstone of evolutionary theory.
Finding fossils out of place would better serve as evidence for those who adhere to no intelligent design.
Actually not. If things happen purely by nature, one would expect a specific sequence. If one posits everything created by an "intelligence," that intelligence could have done it in any fashion he or she wanted, without regard to any particular sequence.
Adherents of intelligent design would expect to find order in the fossil record from smaller to larger; more waterbound creatures up to those that need air.
Why? An exterior intelligence can do anything in any order he or she wished. There would not have to be any sort of sequence.
And so the fossil record testifies.
As you can see, the fossil record actually supports a naturalistic sequence.
In other words, it is true and verifiable because it is a cornerstone. Do you see the circular reasoning here?
If things happen purely by nature, one would expect a specific sequence.
There IS a specific sequence, just like there is with any intelligent process. Are you trying to tell me that nature, intelligence, and design are mutally exclusive? Get out of town.
An exterior intelligence can do anything in any order he or she wished.
An exterior intelligence also has the volition to leave well enough alone when it wishes. No?
As you can see, the fossil record actually supports a naturalistic sequence.
Yes indeed. It follows the Law of Gravity as God established it from the get go.
