"Unfortunately, with proper research, you might find that the fossil record is not quite as conclusive as you might think."

Including the work by Stephen Jay Gould that led to his "punctuated equilibrium theory". Since there were not "enough" transitional form fossils these changes must have happened so fast there was no time to leave a fossil record.

In my opinion, a laughable theory to any thinking human being.

I am also reading "Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes: Further Reflections in Natural History" which happens to be a mocking attack on Christianity.

You are incorrect. There exists an extensive fossil record that, thus far, supports common descent.
