I believe in micro evolution like combining a poodle with a labrador to get a labradoodle. They stay in the same species. A labradoodle is still a dog just like its parents were. Macro evolution like what Darwin claimed, on the other hand, goes to an extreme.
The fossil record does indicate creation. Why have no missing links been found? Also, why do all the fossil records indicate extreme catastrophic events instead of slow evolution. The 5 large extinctions occurred due to catastrophic events. In the Cambrian Explosion, fossils have been found that show groups of complicated phyla that had never before been seen in the fossil record.
I believe we could argue our points all day and night, and it has been a pleasure. I have the belief that neither of us are going to change each others minds. The best option may be to agree to disagree.
Apparently you slept through the first day of biology and skipped the rest of the classes.
Because every time a new fossil is found the Creationist say that it isn’t a *missing link* because the fossils on either side haven’t been found yet.

While biologists do draw a distinction between micro-evolution and macro-evolution it really is a distinction without much difference. Or to put it another way, the distinction is a rather artificial one imposed by biologists. The simple answer is that the process at work in macro-evolution is precisely the same one at work in micro-evolution. So to say I believe micro-evolution, but not macro-evolution may sound erudite to the uneducated, but to those who are familiar with the topic you sound like a boob. It is like saying I believe in molecules, but not in atoms, electrons, protons and neutrons. ~ Steve Verdon

“Why have no missing links been found?”
Again, you really should read the creationist talking points.

“There are no transitional forms.”
