the fossil record may be incomplete.

Incomplete? You could put the whole 4 million year collection on a couple shelves in your study library. The fossil record has more gaps than George Washington's upper jaw.

And those gaps are nothing compared to the gaps in proof for the Creation myth in Genesis. I am a firm believer in God but I have no doubt that the Garden of Eden myth is just that a "myth".

Huh? You can fit a triceratops skull (just ONE mind you) on a shelf? Are you like a giant or something?

One sometimes reads that all hominid fossils could fit in a coffin, or on a table, or a billiard table. That is a misleading image, as there are now thousands of hominid fossils. They are however mostly fragmentary, often consisting of single bones or isolated teeth. Complete skulls and skeletons are rare.
