Evolution is an ongoing and continuous process,

How can there be identified unchanged species that last over millions of years? Species that according to the evo's "suddenly appear". The crocodile from what I understand looks the same today as it did millions of years ago. Same with the shark. I am not disallowing evolution, I am not saying evolution is evil, but it is a theory based on (mucho) speculation and conjecture.

I'm sorry, but it really makes no sense whatsoever to take the creationist belief that all organisms all suddenly appeared (as a result of being spoken into existence by the word of God), and then project that belief onto scientists. Being that evolution is a continuous and ongoing process, no scientist believes that any species suddenly sprang into existence, ever. Are you misinterpreting the fact that we give species names to some organisms found to exist at various arbitrary points along the continuum to mean that we believe those organisms suddenly sprang into existence at those points? All we've done is to give them names.
