But such a change occurring over a few thousand generations would be completely invisible in the fossil record. . . What Gould argued is that such "rapid" changes are typical, and the kinds of evolution visible in fossils is not spread evenly over time. IOW, there is a "gap" in the fossil record and evolution is not gradual. Why not just concede the point. Maybe it is a religious thing with you.

The definition of a 'missing link' is a fossil that has been found. Since it is found it is called missing.

Could it possibly be that the missing links (transitional forms) are still missing because they simply do not exist?
