Now would that be the changes between species we are not finding that gives you "a great deal of confidence" or is it the actual lack of finding them that gives "great deal of confidence" What we seem to find as we keep digging is that what we thought before, was wrong and here is a new theory to fill the holes of the old one. Well I say keep digging!

Incredible as it may seem, science does not take it's marching orders, or evaluate it's progress, based on the perceptions of disaffected adherents of marginal theories who can't come to grips with inductive reasoning. I have no doubt that unless paleontologists come up with a skeleton for every species that ever drew air on the planet, that creationists will be singing the song of the gaps to anyone foolish enough to hang around and listen until the final trump sounds.

As to the story changing--we've already talked about that--of course the story changes with new data--that's how science is set up to work, but the kernel of the story of evolution has remained unmoved for long enough to make it an unquestioningly acceptable story to tell in science class.

Again I ask which kernal,the one that says we will find exaples of change from a bird to a horse(natural selection) or the kernal that says we will not find it (Punc Eq) or do you have a whole new kernal published in this months "Nature" showing us the current kernal. If next month the current thinking will be different WHY should I buy into this months?

No I would like to see the skeleton of just 1 that that is a transitional species. Like the one that rolled out of China held up as proof, the bird/reptile, but that turned out to be a hoax didn't it.
Lions and tigers same family.- Zebras and horses same family.
