Actually, the fossil record is full of proof of evolution. We can see how humans evolved from lower primates. We can see how birds evolved from dinosaurs.
Um, okay... the whole of the paleontological community would dispute that...
Look, I kind of get it.. If man evolved from Apes, then there is no divine plan, or a self-loathing diety that created man in his own image only to inflict horrid misery on him.
Wrong again....
As Newsweek reporter Jerry Adler accurately noted:
In the fossil record, missing links are the rule: the story of life is as disjointed as a silent newsreel, in which species succeed one another as abruptly as Balkan prime ministers. The more scientists have searched for the transitional forms between species, the more they have been frustrated.... Evidence from fossils now points overwhelmingly away from the classical Darwinism which most Americans learned in high school: that new species evolve out of existing ones by the gradual accumulation of small changes, each of which helps the organism survive and compete in the environment (1980, 96[18]:95).
