Actually, it seems that the evidence is only accumulating as far as quantity, not quality, so to speak. You can find more and more fossils, but they are still fossils. The creation account doesn't really allow for the account to "evolve" but that doesn't invalidate the creationists belief.

Can you say anything about the quality of evidence, other than state it hasn't changed? Do we know nothing more than what Darwin published in 1859? What Einstein tried to argue, and what you seem to be rejecting without saying so, is that creationist thinking has been "pushed" out of the weather (so to speak), but of course if you just look back a few years this would apply to so many other things that we now take for granted. You want immediate proof for a process that took eons, but one that left an extremely suggestive trail of evidence. I can't really argue with you, though, because I've seen you and RWP go at it; I'm not going to convince you of anything. I can only suggest you re-read his earlier posts.

I'm not sure what this means. We've found some remarkable new discoveries in the last twenty-five years: Confuciousornis, Ambulocetus and much of the whale ancestry, Icthyostega and several other intermediates between fish and tetrapods. These have filled in most of the evolutionary gaps that existed in 1980.
