Add to you observation how little of the earth's surface we have actually mined for fossils. Not much. Not much at all.

Uhh, I'm not sure what you are saying. On hundreds of occasions, when I was younger and had time, I would go out and look for fossils, dig for fossils. Yes, there were areas that had a lot, but the mojority of the places I looked had NONE. So your arguement to the fact that there are a lot of places we havn't "Mined" for fossils proves my point even more. That fossils are 1) Rare 2) have to be "mined" under untold thousands/millions of years of sediment. 3) that for one given square foot of ground, given the time the Universe has existed(first point of my first post) you will find jack squat by way of fossils. But, that's amazing considering there has been life present on that one square foot for a very, very, very, very, very, very, ..., very long time.

If you are a creationist, please, pretty please, explain how the 6,000 year old universe can have photons that have traveled for Billions of years from distant Quasars and galaxies?

No, don't worry, I'm no creationist. All I was trying to say, in a rushed hurried manner, is that when creationists talk about all of the gaps, I point to all of the fossils we've found, and calmly mention that we've only dug in about 5% of all of the available land. Imagine what we'd find if we looked everywhere!

Evolutionists constantly keep saying that they are not against religion. If that is so, then why do they try to prove their phony theory by attacking other's religion? You cannot prove a scientific theory by destroying anyone's religion.
