Yes, every fossil is indeed an intermediate to whatever follows.

You are redefining terms. An intermediate form is an organism somewhere between one species and the next higher species. The differences between the rungs on the evolutionary ladder are immense; the gaps between them are so great as to call into question whether or not there is any connection at all between them.

I would wager that the species which follows us will be taller than the species which preceded us. Looking through the human fossil record of the past few thousand years provides ample intermediary evidence of steadily increasing heights.

The only gaps within the evolutionary ladder are those created by the passage of time. The period of time in which a succeeding species loses its ability to procreate with its preceding species. In the event that two groups of the same species undergo this progression in isolation from one another, then the succeeding species will also be unable to reproduce with one another. As they continue to diverge and diversify, you will eventually have dozens, hundreds, even thousands of species no longer able to procreate with one another and which have developed into radically different forms as patterned by their environments.

I would wager a strong guess that we would have a relatively difficult time reproducing with an ancient Hebrew. This would not mean it would be impossible, but that it would be more difficult than reproducing with a contemporary American. As our descendents continue to gradually evolve, then they would eventually find it impossible to reproduce with that same ancient Hebrew. Even farther down the line, they would find it similarly difficult and eventually impossible to reproduce with our contemporaries.

I base my conclusion in part on the difficulties of any other race conceiving children with Australian Aborigines. The difficulty arises because Aborigines have been divorced from the remainder of the human family tree the longest. It's not impossible, but it's less probable because of this chronological divide and the genetic drift which has taken place.

Yes!! I agree 100%!!! That is the one question evolutionists cannot answer! The only explanation is that evolution doesn't exist! That's why you can't find the missing puzzle piece to prove evolution!!!
