Give 500 monkeys 2000 typewriters all of eternity, and they still wouldn’t come up with the babble of evolution.
Not only is evolution not science, it’s also not logical. I know there aren’t any, but I’d like to see a single species observed to have “evolved” from one species into another new one. There’s not a single one. Because it doesn’t exist.
I have always thought that the Pterosaurs are proof of intelligent design. Here you have this creature with radically different design in limbs, joints and other attributes that just appears, bamb, on the scene perfectly adapted to fly. If you look at the mechanics of the wing and the body, the specialized finger bone, it is obvious that it was designed. I do believe in evolution but I don’t think it is the only force at work.
While there are examples of small changes to animals and plants over time in the fossil record, I think you are right. What accounts for radically different creatures that just appear in the record? Of course I am not a paleontologist and I may not be aware of all the fossils out there. Maybe there is a good record of transitional forms in the fossil record but I have not read of it and this is one of the subjects that interests me.
