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.

Yes, the argument that inferior life forms would rapidly die out greatly reduces the amount of fossils of those life forms that would be produced.
However, we are still dealing with billions of years and trillions of animals. There should still be millions of fossils with an intermediary form.
