If you read Gish’s book, or research the fossil record, you will see that there is no (zero) fossil evidence for transitional forms. Not just transitional forms between fish and amphimbians, but also between amphibians and reptiles, reptiles and mammals, and all the countless species between which transitional forms must have existed in the path of commmon descent if evolution is true.

Gish is a creationist. You can't expect him to tell the truth about the theory of evolution, can you?

“Gish is a creationist. You can’t expect him to tell the truth about the theory of evolution, can you?”

If your first priority is to protect a worldview based on either Darwinism or atheistic naturalism, do not read Gish’s book. Don’t go anywhere near anything written by Michael J. Behe, either, and you must completely ignore the major arguments presented by both Gish and Behe.

Sarcastic tone aside—I would say with great enthusiasm yes, look with careful focus into the writings and thinking of these men, as well as that of any serious scientists and philosophers you encounter along the way.

If you find yourself criticizing them based on labels alone or defaming their character, I would suggest you take note of this tactic.
