I call it a draw too. That is, they have to draw all the missing links between species because they don't have an actual body or skeleton of one. They have to hypothesize what it's suppose to look like, based on what they THINK it ate, how they THINK it walked. They don't even have 1/100 of a skeleton of one. They can't even be 100% sure that the pieces of fossilized bones are from the same animal. That's why their ideas always keep changing. Creation never changes. "God created the Heavens & the Earth." He created all life, "Each after it's own kind."
That is exactly why science represents a more complete and justified claim on representing the truth than religion ever can.
Occam's Razor must be a twin blade, for under the circumstances you have chosen the simpler of two explanations while bringing intelligent design into the picture. (But shame on us if we dare allow this possibility into our schoolbooks.)
What, exactly, is a "kind"? Are spiders a kind? Or are tarantulas and orb weavers two different kinds? Are lions and tigers two kinds, or just one? How about horses and zebras? Or gators and crocs?
