How are fossils in any way confusing? If trillions of animals lived and died, slowly evolving over billions of years, wouldn't there be millions upon millions of intermediate fossil forms?

Given how specific the circumstances required for fossilization, no.

Oh, I see. Those circumstances only come to pass when no evolution happens to be occuring.

No. Did you deliberately misrepresent my point or are you that devoid of common sense?

Fossilization does not happen with every life form. It only happens in specific circumstances, so it can only occur if a creature died with specific environmental circumstances present. That's why we do not have 'millions upon millions of intermediate fossil forms', it has nothing to do with evolution happening or not happening. Evolution happens all the time, because every life form is an imperfect replicator.

As a Witch, I have absolutly no problems with the concept of waving my magic wand and making things happen.

Cool, even Gore2000 is supporting my beliefs about magic.
