"There must be fossilized remains which are closer and closer approximations going out from the oldest to the most modern which would show the evolution from one to the other. It is the fact that between the current fossilized remains exist no other fossilized remains, despite the expansive time between each, which puzzles me. It is this question to which I seek answers."

Unfortunately, geologic realities sour your supposition. 'The Fossil Record' is not a library like The Library of Congress; its more like digging through the ruins of Pompey. The record is fragmentary, partly because only a tiny, tiny, tiny, percent of animals/plants are EVER fosilized, then you have erosion through the eons destroying much of the record, and, finally, most of the record is inaccessible because it is buried deep underground, under the sea, or inside mountains.

However, even given the paucity of available remains, evidence of evolution is irrefutable - ever seen the fossils showing the evolution of the horse - from a small mammal with 5 toes to the horse we see today?

If you won't believe THAT evidence then (to use a paraphrase), you wouldn't believe if one rose from the dead....

So, there is no chance that, instead of the evolution of the horse to what we see today, we are looking at different animals which lived during different periods of time and which are only related superficially?
