You are right F.T.- If evolution is settled science why is there so much hate and anger against any one who brings up simple questions.-A film about scientists who have been driven out of colleges for simply having a different view is called...”Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed”... by Ben Stein. This is a well made film discussing the harrassment of those who dare question the left’s new religion of Darwin... I recommend it...

There is quite a bit unsettled about fossil and I don't trust anyone who claims they are evidence for evolution.
