sounds like what can be demostrated with extant species (tiny steps) and your description of the fossil record are inconsistent.
You have to remember that the fossil record doesn't preserve every step in the evolutionary chain. Most dead animals & plants just rot away; only a tiny fraction of 1% are preserved as fossil imprints. It is a spotty, haphazard means of preservation; it can easily give the appearance of "discrete" steps. Many of the intermediary steps are either lost to the winds of time or remain under the ground, waiting to be uncovered.
I believe you are mistaking me for a creationist. The inconsistency is not mine, but creationists who have different standards for the fossil record and extant species.
My description of the fossil record meshes quite well with the tiny steps we see in extant species. Each of the fossils in a sequence are hundreds of thousands of years apart if not more. It is similar to viewing single frames of a movie and limiting the frames viewed to be thousands of frames apart.
