Easy. How many species have occured from a single common ancestor since the last mass extinction? You do the math.

400 million years is still a significant stretch of time in evolutionary terms. Heck, our split from chimps was a little more than 1% of that time.

You're simply sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting la-la-la to avoid facing the fact that lack of descendent species of sharks directly falsifies a prediction made by TOE.

In true science, when evidence falsifies a theory, you re-work the theory. In evolutionary theory, you attack the messenger, bury the evidence and pretend it never happened.

"Easy. How many species have occured from a single common ancestor since the last mass extinction? You do the math. "

And here I thought you had something to back up your claim. As I said, the ToE does NOT predict there will be *a few million* descendant species of any one species in a 400 million year time frame.

"You're simply sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting la-la-la to avoid facing the fact that lack of descendant species of sharks directly falsifies a prediction made by TOE."

Lack of descendant species? You DO know that sharks have speciated in the last few hundred million years, right?

"In true science, when evidence falsifies a theory, you re-work the theory. In evolutionary theory, you attack the messenger, bury the evidence and pretend it never happened."

What evidence? You've provided nothing.

How and why does "the lack of descendant species of sharks" falsify the TOE? (If you can demonstrate this, get ready for your Nobel Prize).

Wow, such ignorance should be rewarded with your own ticket to "Dino Land". Do you even have any idea how many species of sharks, skates, and rays there are now, or how many went extinct in the last 300 million years? Of course not.

And why do you use "millions" when your little Fantasyland world only started 6000 years ago? Just being another garden variety religious hypocrite?
