Evolution Will Always Be

"Many scientific theories are so well-established that no new evidence is likely to alter them substantially. For example, no new evidence will demonstrate that the Earth does not orbit around the sun (heliocentric theory), or that living things are not made of cells (cell theory), that matter is not composed of atoms, or that the surface of the Earth is not divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales (the theory of plate tectonics). Like these other foundational scientific theories, the theory of evolution is supported by so many observations and confirming experiments that scientists are confident that the basic components of the theory will not be overturned by new evidence. However, like all scientific theories, the theory of evolution is subject to continuing refinement as new areas of science emerge or as new technologies enable observations and experiments that were not possible previously."

Proving Darwin... The Fossil Record

"The fossil record is incredibly sparse. There were probably billions of species that are now extinct or evolved, but we have fossils for only about 250,000 unique species.
 You cannot use the fossil record for inferrring very much about abrupt changes, as just about everything in the fossil record is an abrupt change.


 The fossil record is like a series of snapshots of different countries from a vacation trip through Europe, where there are less than one snapshot per country." DC via FB
