Does the fossil record support evolution?The fossils say YES!
“So many intermediate forms have been discovered . . . that it often is difficult to identify categorically when the transition occurs from one to another particular species. Actually, nearly all fossils can be regarded as intermediates in some sense; they are life forms that come between the forms that preceded them and those that followed.”

Kirk Cameron is right!

Evolution is Predictive
• No hybrid forms - every species is fully-evolved.
• Evolution predicts that transitional forms should appear as modified versions of pre-existing forms.

Evolution is REAL science
• Intermediate forms must be consistent with other data, including morphological, genetic, and embryological studies.

The fossil record reveals…
• Some fossil forms exhibit a mix of intermediate characteristics that link older and younger groups.
• No evidence of organisms that are merely a cross between existing groups.
• Intermediate forms occur in the fossil record precisely when they should.
