The entire fossil record supports the theory of evolution. Long before Darwin proposed his theory paleontologists had realised that the fossil record shows gradual change over a very long time. They just couldn't understand why until Darwin, that's all. He explained the data, which is the way round that science works.

Religion prefers to start with the answer (eg a particular interpretation of a holy book) and work backwards to a hypothesis, and then go looking for data to support the hypothesis. That is why creation science has zero predictive power while real science such as the theory of evolution has numerous successful predictions under its belt.

For numerous articles explaining this (including if memory serves a beautiful sequence of reptile-mammal transitionals, fossil hominid sequences, and a textual sequence of 50 species from fish to humans where each progression if presented individually would be dismissed as "just micro-evolution") try reading PatrickHenry's home page. If you haven't seen the real evidence be prepared for a shock.

This seems a good time to post the lyrics of a They Might Be Giants song. In fact it is always a good time to do that. Probably only the evos here will understand the significance...

Standing in between extinction in the cold
and explosive radiating growth
So the warm blood flows
Through the large four-chambered heart
Maintaining the very high metabolism rate they have

Mammal, mammal
Their names are called
They raise a paw
The bat, the cat
Dolphin and dog
Koala bear and hog

One of us might lose his hair
But you're reminded that it once was there
From the embryonic whale to the monkey with no tail
So the warm blood flows
with the red blood cells lacking nuclei
Through the large four-chambered heart
Maintaining the very high metabolism rate they have

Mammal, mammal
Their names are called
They raise a paw
The bat, the cat
Dolphin and dog
Koala bear and hog

Placental the sister of her brother Marsupial
Their cousin called Monotreme
Dead uncle Allotheria

Mammal, mammal
Their names are called
They raise a paw
The bat, the cat
Dolphin and dog
Koala bear and hog
The fox, the ox
Giraffe and shrew
Echidna, caribou

"The entire fossil record supports the theory of evolution."

No it doesn't, if it did there would be the quoted Missing Link, and that doesn't exist.

Nice try, but the facts remain unchanged.

There is no link anywhere in the fossil record, now, or in the past that links man with apes or vice versa.

Until there is Evolution is a Theory and nothing more.

Once Evolution can be proven beyond a shadow of a reasonable doubt then I will concede your point. Until then it's just noise.
