Actually, this is simply not true. While it might serve as an accurate description of an artists illustration of the geologic record as it would be depicted in a high school textbook, it has nothing to do with what is found out there in the "real world." Furthermore, 99% of the support for evolution comes from atheists and agonistics. Your point?

And now for a few words from some believers in evolutionary theory:

>"'Everybody knows that organisms ... get more complex as
>they evolve. The only trouble with what everyone knows,'"
>says [Dan] McShea, an evolutionary biologist at the University of
>Michigan, 'is that there is no evidence it's
>true.’"

>"I suppose the reason we leaped at the origin of species
>was because the idea of God interfered with our sexual
>mores."

(Sir Julian Huxley, President of the United Nation's Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization (UNESCO).)

>"There are only two possibilities as to how life arose; one
>is spontaneous generation arising to evolution, the other
>is a supernatural creative act of God...I will not accept
>that philosophically because I do not want to believe in God..."

(Dr. George Wald, evolutionist, Professor Emeritus of Biology at the University at Harvard, Nobel Prize winner in Biology.)

Would you care to elaborate on this, please? Please explain how the fossil record fails to support the numerous predictions of common descent with modification, perhaps you will win a Nobel Prize.

My point is that I am afraid you have been told lies by someone. Here is a (by no means exhaustive) list of judeo-christian religious organisations that support evolution. Christians who reject evolution are very much in a minority amongst Christians worldwide, before we even start looking at other faiths and agnostics and atheists. Even in this country (the only developed country in the world with a significant anti-evolution movement) Christians who accept ToE outnumber atheists.
