To Nebullis: The problem is, there isn't any evidence.

This is crazy. There is no making you see what has already been posted/linked. I can't help but see this kind of unresponsiveness in a bad light.

The paper

Spencer-Cervato, C. and Thierstein, H.R., 1997. First appearance of Globorotalia truncatulinoides: cladogenesis and immigration. Marine Micropaleontology, v.30, p.267-291.
reports on the species Globorotalia crassaformis. There is a location in the South Pacific where this species gradually turns into a transitional species, G. tosaensis, and then into G. truncatulinoides. The gradual change took 500,000 years.

In the Indian and Atlantic oceans, in slightly more recent sediment, we find the "sudden" appearance of the descendant species. This "suddenness" is therefore from migration, not Creation.

We know that these are different species (and not just strange looking fossils of a single species) because both species still exist today.

A Marine Microfossil Example. (Sound familiar?)

When you want more, I have more. When you want more transitionals . . .

My point is, you guys are always quoting Darwin in 1859 puzzling over the fossil record, or Gould in 1972 arguing with "NeoDarwinists." That's been over for decades.

But creationists make a point of not keeping up, of not understanding, of not even remembering. That's hard to overlook.

I guess you call the above "proof" of evolution? Note that you do not give us any pictures and I bet you do not even have the vaguest idea what this species is. Do note however that they are still all called by the same generic name.

BTW - what you posted is all the text in the article! Some proof! You just pick a title you like and call it proof.
