And all through the dead things we find, we find clear, delineated KINDS of animal! NEVER do we see changes from one type to another type.

I am not claiming such.

But the geological record is clear. For over two billion years, all we see are simple life forms - stromatolites and other such organisms. Then we start seeing more complex critters, prior to the Cambrian. Then we get fish in the Cambrian. Amphibians, I believe, in the Devonian. Reptiles later. Mammals don't appear until the Triassic. Birds don't appear until the Jurassic.

So the problem is - you demand transitional forms. But that basically is immaterial for what I am saying. The progression in the fossil record is clear. Simple moves to complex over great periods of time. One can say ID is behind that, or one can postulate evolution. My beef is with those who concoct wild theories that exist in complete defiance of the geological record.

“a devout Christian who believed the Bible said who and evolution said how”

So what, he thought God could make little microbes, but that’s it? Man. Talk about “people will only believe in small miracles”
