I hope that you understand this is not proof of a change. You’ve simply shown that the crocodile species has many different members of its family and many have died out. There is no verifiable proof that a phytosaur ever became something else. This is based on similar traits, a perceived time frame of our geological data, and the assumption that evolution can do that.

But hey, it certainly is enough evidence for many people in the world to believe. I just don’t have that kind of faith to believe in evolution. I believe in God, in Jesus - and what He states in the Bible is radically different than all of my college professors personal’s faith.

Geological & fossil records show many species coming and going over many millions of years -- species preceded by similar but more primitive forms, followed by similar but more complex forms.
Theory says: that's evolution in action, and there's no other natural explanation which makes any sense.
Of course, you may reject the natural explanation in favor of a Bible-based explanation, and that's fine, so long as you don't call your religious beliefs "science".

As I've pointed out before, there is no "belief" or "faith" in science, since science is just a model.
The analogy I like is the USS Constitution ship model.

Isn't that a beautiful model?
You could even measure and verify it's details are to scale.
But, regardless of how beautiful or accurate a model is, it's still just a model, never the real thing, and always subject to modifications & improvements when certain elements prove inaccurate.
Nobody "believes" in a model or has "faith" in it, because it's just a model. And so with science -- perhaps beautiful and somewhat accurate, but still just a model, never a matter of "belief" or "faith".
