No new species have appeared. Existing species changed within their design parameters. If you disagree, I would like you to point out, documented of course, a new species appearing.

Any/all species of arachnids appeared within the past 450 million years. They did not exist before that.

Any/all species of tetrapods appeared within the past 450 million years. They did not exist before that.

Any/all species of insects appeared within the past 450 million years. They did not exist before that.

Any/all species of dinosaurs appeared within the past 250 million years. They did not exist before that.

Any/all species of birds appeared within the past 210 million years. They did not exist before that.

Any/all species of flowering plants appeared within the past 150 million years. They did not exist before that.

Any/all species of modern mammals appeared within the past 150 million years. They did not exist before that.

Any/all species of horses appeared within the past 40 million years. They did not exist before that.

Any/all species of elephants appeared within the past 40 million years. They did not exist before that.

Any/all species of grasses appeared within the past 40 million years. They did not exist before that.

That's around a million or so new species "appearing", how many more would you like?

We have evidence that a species "appears" in the geologic record with no links to a "transitional" animal. Hmmn.

"We" do? Feel free to name some from the past 200 million years or so.

And are you trying to imply that no species "appears" in the geologic record *with* links to transitional forms? If so, what are these?

Nice list dude. It proves absolutely nothing, but nice list.

Basically you just restated that things "appeared" fully formed and functional. This "proves" EVOLUTIONARY processes how?

The link you provided is the same one that PatrickHenry gave me, and like I said, I'm reading through the voluminous thing now.
