There are plenty of fossil examples of variations within a species. There are no fossil examples of species transition. Dinosaur to bird? It would be a bad leg long before it would be a good wing.
I have believed in a Creator for a long time but had always thought he used evolution to get us where we are. I relied on the study of others and their interpretation of the fossil record. A study of the available data to date has left me with the conclusion I was misled. I began to look into why I would be presented and taught information that was in direct opposition to the record God had left me. It is fairly simple and easily recognizible by even a simpleton such as myself. It is part of a much broader effort to dislodge God from our society. Sound too simple? Think I may be a conspiracy nut? Well, there is a “big picture” even if there are those who refuse to see it. Hold fast to your beliefs but read,study, compare, debate and digest the information with an uncluttered mind. Pray for clarity and, if sincere, it will be given.
