I enjoyed the link you provided. However, I found that to make the material work one must assume and surmise to arrive at the desired conclusions.
Creationists are assailed for using faith in asserting that man was created by God. To accept the material in the link one must as well use faith in the evolution doctrine to explain away the assumption used to reach evolutionists desired ends.

Riiiiiiight. All that evidence just doesn't count.

Completely ignoring the two centuries of research and observation that allowed researchers to build the knowledge base that you airily dismiss as assumptions and surmisals.

The amount of inference required to understand what is demonstrated there is not large. A bridge of small steps connects fish with elephants in the fossil record. Creationists such as yourself proclaim the lack of expected transitional forms in the fossil record when, upon closer examination, all they can really show is a refusal--their own refusal--to make any inference that leads toward evolution.

The fact of the matter is that nothing to be reasonably expected in the fossil record from evolutionary theory is lacking. Darwin himself figured out and stated nicely that even the rather impoverished fossil record known in his day was about what one would expect. He predicted that as more of the world was explored new fossil finds would further outline the already apparent tree of life and further bolster his theory. He was right in spades. It is total misrepresentation to pretend otherwise.
