So you like quotes and sources, eh. Okay, here you go:

“Why is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this is the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against the theory.”
Charles Darwin, Origin of Species, 6th edition, 1872, p. 413.

The Cambrian/Precambrian time period does not support Darwinian evolution. There are no intermediate transitional forms) found during this period.
“There is no question that such gaps exist. A big gap appears at the beginning of the Cambrian explosion, over 500 million years ago, when great numbers of new species suddenly appeared in the fossil record.”
David Berlinski (evolutionist), A Tour of the Calculus, 1995.

“The Cambrian explosion is not just a case of all the major animal phyla appearing at about the same place in the geologic column. It is also a situation of no ancestors to suggest how they might have evolved.”
Ariel Roth (Ph.D. Zoology), Origins,1998, p. 184.

“However, we have virtually no evidence in the fossil record or elsewhere for any of the changes proposed during this ‘immensity of time’; but the public hears nothing of this problem.”
Aerial Roth (Ph.D. Zoology), Origins, p. 189.

“Paleontologists have tried to turn Archaeopteryx into an
earth-bound, feathered dinosaur. But it’s not. It is a bird, a perching bird. And no amount of ‘paleobabble’ is going to change that.”
Alan Feduccia (World authority on birds), Science, “Archaeopteryx: Early Bird Catches a Can of Worms”, 1993.

“The imprint they left in the rock, clear and sharp, makes it evident that the feathers of Archaeopteryx were already in Jurassic time exactly like those of birds flying today.”
Barbara Stahl, Vertebrate History: Problems in Evolution

“Birds are so different from other creatures that there would have been hundreds of thousands of intermediate forms between birds and land animals if birds had evolved.”
Stuart Burgess (Ph.D. Engineering Design, Professor of Combustion
Theory, extensive study in the area of design in nature),
Hallmarks of Design, 2002, p. 47.

“This creates a new problem for those who insist that dinosaurs were ancestors of modern birds. How can a bird hand, for example, with digits two, three and four evolve from a dinosaur hand that has only digits one, two and three? That would be almost impossible.”
Alan Feduccia, (professor and former chair of biology at UNC), The Origin and Evolution of Birds, Yale University Press, 1999, p. 81.

“If one views a chicken skeleton and a dinosaur skeleton through binoculars they appear similar, but close and detailed examination reveals many differences. Theropod dinosaurs, for example, had curved, serrated teeth, but the earliest birds had straight, unserrated peg-like teeth. They also had a different method of tooth implantation and replacement.”
Dr. Alan Feduccia, “Scientist Says Ostrich Study Confirms Bird ‘Hands’ Unlike Those Of Dinosaurs”, EurekAlert, 14-Aug-2002.

“It’s biophysically impossible to evolve flight from such bipeds with foreshortened forelimbs and heavy, balancing tails, Exactly the wrong anatomy for flight.”
A. Gibbons, Science, “New Feathered Fossil Brings Dinosaurs and Birds Closer,” 1996.

“Given the fact of evolution, one would expect the fossils to document a gradual steady change from ancestral forms to the descendants. But this is not what the paleontologists finds. Instead, he or she finds gaps in just about every phyletic series.”
Ernst Mayr (Professor Emeritus in the Museum of Comparative
Zoology at Harvard University, Hailed as the Darwin of the 20th century), What Evolution Is, 2001, p. 14.

“Natural selection can act only on those biological properties that already exist; it cannot create properties in order to meet adaptational needs.”
Elmer Noble, Ph.D. Zoology, Glenn Nobel, Ph.D. Biology, Gerhard Schad, Ph.D. Biology, Austin MacInnes, Ph.D. Biology, Parasitology: The Biology of Animal Parasites, 1989, p. 516.

“I would therefore argue that the very concept of natural
selection as defined by the neo-Darwinist is fundamentally
flawed….”
Neil Broom, How Blind Is the Watchmaker, 2001, p. 165. (Ph.D. Chemical and Materials Engineering)

“But there is no evidence that DNA mutations can provide the sorts of variation needed for evolution…
There is no evidence for beneficial mutations at the level of macroevolution, but there is also no evidence at the level of what is commonly regarded as microevolution.”
Jonathan Wells, Ph.D. Molecular Biology

One could think, for instance, that by constantly changing amino acids one by one, it will eventually be possible to change the entire sequence substantially…
These minor changes, however, are bound to eventually result in a situation in which the enzyme has ceased to perform its previous function but has not yet begun its ‘new duties’. It is at this point it will be destroyed – along with the organism carrying it.”
Maxim D. Frank-Kamenetski, Unraveling DNA, 1997, p. 72.
(Professor at Brown U. Center for Advanced Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering)

“But in all the reading I’ve done in the life-sciences literature, I’ve never found a mutation that added information…
All point mutations that have been studied on the molecular level turn out to reduce the genetic information and not increase it.”
Lee Spetner (Ph.D. Physics – MIT, taught information and
communications at Johns Hopkins University), Not By Chance, 1997, pp. 131, 138.

“…that the development and survival of the fittest is entirely a consequence of chance mutations, or even that nature carries out experiments by trial and error through mutations in order to create living systems better fitted to survive, seems to be a hypothesis based on no evidence….”
Ernst Chain (Biochemist and Nobel Prize winner), Responsibility and the Scientist in Modern Western Society, London: Council of Christians and Jews, 1970, p.25.
