And the evidence in the fossil record overwhelmingly indicates the former and contradicts the latter.

So you are of the opinion that every transitional fossil found just makes the situation worse, because it means there are new missing links on either side?

How do you explain the discovery of transitionals, when they are found?

One last question, before I put on my London Fog and leave the room: What do you suppose the ratio is between the total number of fossils that have been found, and the total number of individuals that have ever lived? One in a hundred; one in a thousand; one in a million; one in a billion; one in a trillion; greater?

How do you know whether a fossil is a "transitional"? You're assuming your conclusion.

I don't know. I'll pick one in a trillion.

If this is true, how does this explain the fact that we find multiple fossils of the same creature dating from various eras?
