[[Why would anyone make the astonishing assumption that fossils would exist in some kind of continuum, like Newton’s spectrum?]]
I don’t- Nor does Baraminology- they exist in discontinuity, not continuity- but we’re handed the escapism excuse that ‘fossils are rare’ therefore ‘we can’t find the continuity we claim’
Dang it! That isn't it at all!
Throughout time immemorial, canid scavengers have dissipated and scattered what otherwise could have been excellent fossil specimins, undoubtedly ruining any chance for a demonstrable progression.
In other words ... um ...
... The dogs ate my homework.
