So you have fossil evidence for transition from one species to another, across the animal kingdom. That should be rich, there’s lots of folk who’d like to see that.

Why’d they go to all the trouble to invent crazy theories to explain the lack of a fossil record.

Of course, it was the plethora of such evidence that led to the formulation of the theory of evolution. Without the abundant evidence, I doubt anyone would have come up with such a theory... or else, it would have been relegated to crackpotdom, much like those shows I see on the history channel featuring "experts" explaining their "theories" that life on Earth was seeded by extraterrestrials.

Of course. That's why Chapter 6 of Origins was titled "Absence or Rarity of Transitional Varieties" and Chapter 10 of Origins was titled "On the Imperfection of the Geological Record".
