What does the fossil record really teach concerning the theory of evolution?

Noah was righteous ----IN HIS GENERATION-------compared to the shit that surrounded him----he was ok
 
What does the fossil record really teach concerning the theory of evolution? Do the fossils demonstrate the progression from simple structures to complex organisms? The following facts need to be considered:

Let's not forget that these were the prevailing opinions of scientists at the time of Darwin. Evolution was only accepted after an overwhelming amount of supporting information was amassed yet here some of us still are getting their science from theology. Maybe they should get their theology from science instead?

I'm not using theology in my arguments. I'm using recent findings in science. Or are you aware of some research that proves abiogenesis is even a remote possibility.

Evolution and abiogenesis are completely different processes and proving or disproving either has no relevance to the other. The OP does not address abiogenesis however to answer your question:

Abiogenesis Experiments

In 2001, Louis Allamandola demonstrated that organic material can be synthesized in deep space using a "Chill vacuum chamber"--a lot of biomolecules: nitriles, ethers, alcohols, ring-like hydrocarbons, and others.[8] [9]

In a complementary experiment, Jennifer Blank at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory discovered that: "Through subsequent chemical analysis, the team discovered that the initial amino acids in the mixture had linked together to form peptides, from which proteins can be formed." [10]

In 2010, Craig Venter and his colleagues inserted a wholly artificial chromosome into a bacterial cell and created the first artificial life form (a.k.a. "dial-a-genome").[11] While it may seem like artificial abiogenesis, it nevertheless involved some major cheating: the artificial chromosome was constructed using gene sequences of an existing organism.

In 2011, Lee Cronin at the University of Glasgow is trying to start an evolutionary process in polyoxometalate-based "cells".[12]

In 2014, a group of researchers managed to produce all four components of RNA by simulating an asteroid impact in primordial conditions.[13]

A 2015 paper showed that the chemical precursors for the synthesis of amino acids, lipids and nucleotides, which would be required in a primitive cell, could have all arisen simultaneously through reactions driven by ultraviolet light. [14]

In 2015, the lander Philae discovered 16 organic compounds, four of which have never been detected on a comet before, on the comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. Many of the organic compounds are important building blocks of life.[15] [16][17]

In 2015, NASA scientists studying the origin of life managed to reproduce uracil, cytosine, and thymine from an ice sample containing pyrimidine under conditions found in space. [18][19]

A 2016 study showed that the building blocks of life can be replicated in deep sea vents. These experiments have for the first time demonstrated that RNA molecules can form in alkaline hydrothermal chimneys.[20] [21]
 
Other then horses which only proves evolution INSIDE a species be specific and cite for us the evidence that supports mammals evolving from one species into an entirely different species.

Not impressed. It's still a long way from producing even the simplest protein. Something that science is still incapable of doing, let alone the gods of evolution...time and chance. I especially found the last bit funny. It shows nothing of the sort. No RNA has been created. Just the chemicals necessary for them. If you believe that the mere presence of the required chemicals for RNA means that they can self assemble into RNA strands, then you don't understand how difficult a proposition that is. Why don't do a little research on RNA. You'll see just how complex it is.

Really? Horses are actually a great example. You do realize that zebra's and modern horses are not the same species right?

Horse Evolution Over 55 Million Years
equus.gif

Equus is the only surviving genus in the once diverse family of horses. Domesticated about 3,000 years ago, the horse had a profound impact on human history in areas such as migration, farming, warfare, sport, communication, and travel. Species of Equus lived from 5 million years ago until the present. Living species include horses, asses, and zebras. Fossils of Equus are found on every continent except Australia and Antarctica.



How can you explain the sequence of horse fossils? Even if you insist on ignoring the transitional fossils (many of which have been found), again, how can the unmistakable sequence of these fossils be explained? Did God create Hyracotherium, then kill off Hyracotherium and create some Hyracotherium-Orohippus intermediates, then kill off the intermediates and create Orohippus, then kill off Orohippus and create Epihippus, then allow Epihippus to "microevolve" into Duchesnehippus, then kill off Duchesnehippus and create Mesohippus, then create some Mesohippus-Miohippus intermediates, then create Miohippus, then kill off Mesohippus, etc.....each species coincidentally similar to the species that came just before and came just after?

Creationism utterly fails to explain the sequence of known horse fossils from the last 50 million years. That is, without invoking the "God Created Everything To Look Just Like Evolution Happened" Theory.
 
One small fossil, one giant step for polar bear evolution

beartree.gif


The researchers compared the fossil's DNA sequence to those from different species of modern bears and from extinct cave bears. They used these sequences to reconstruct the animals' family tree. As expected, the modern and ancient polar bear DNA formed a tight group, a clade — and that clade was most closely related to the brown bears of Southeast Alaska.

Did Cave Bears become extinct because Noah overlooked them along with the dinosaurs?

You have your evolutionary gods wrong, they are time and natural selection, not time and chance.

One question none of us may ever get an answer to is what the first life looked like. It may have been a very simple molecular chain that could self-assemble additions to the chain but was fragile enough to split apart. That may have been all that was required of the first "life" form to be subject to natural selection. RNA and DNA may have taken a billion years to evolve from that simple start.

The ToE declares that ALL life descended from a common ancestor. Do you really believe that such diverse lifeforms, such as dinosaurs and mosquitoes have a common ancestor? Give me a break.
 
Fossils establish evolution as a FACT

They show that life evolved from simple biological structures to increasingly complex life forms

How do ID'iot creationists account for any fossil record? A 6,000 year old earth would not have the fossil record that exists.

Those gawds, they're such kidder's.

It's not nearly as hard to believe as it is to think your God created a creature to randomly spread disease to both good people and bad people, including babies. The same God that created a wondrous variety of animals only to wipe them out with barely a trace. And do it again and again and again and again.

God created a perfect universe. The problems you mentioned are the result of sin.
