As for fossils, how many scientists have actually personally examined and tested them? Overall, there have not been as many fossils found as science would lead us to believe. Fossilization doesn't always occur, which I'm sure you know. So science (evolution) is actually passed on to others by very few who have actual evidence that they have examined and studied. A lot of what science purports to "know" isn't readily verifiable by others.

Infinitely more than the number of creationists.

Ah, then you think it's a fraud?

Yes. Thus the inevitability of gaps.

So? Do you think they're lying?

It's all verifiable, to anyone who wants to expend the effort. But for creationists, it's so much easier to do nothing, and thus to know nothing.

That's rich. You badly need to visit the backroom of a university museum before you shove your foot any further into your mouth.

I found no fewer than two dozen in one day at the beach last year.

In your opinion, how many fossils has science led us to believe exist? How much are they exaggerating?

There are literally *tons* of fossils out there. Try a search on ebay. You can buy a piece of an extinct animal for your very own.
