Even with such scanty evidence they have to agree that the fossil record shows abrupt appearance over and over, then stasis and variation withing. The record is very discontinuous and goes against evo theory. Discontinuity is the enemy of Darwinism.
 
“With God all things are possible.” ? Like what? Certainly not a wind 'em up and watch it go mechanism.
 
But ‘talking in circles’ is one of the methods to promote textbook evolution.

There aren’t any. Everything worked. It got old enough to leave a substantial skeleton behind. Insect trapped in amber: multiple legs, compound eyes and wings. It just happened to happen. Something something.

Or something.

If random mutation is going on, then chances are pretty high that we will find errors.

Where are they?
A dinosaur has a mutation that prevents its kidneys functioning properly. They can just about keep the animal alive, but it cannot function as well as its contemporaries. Do you really expect a kidney to fossilise? Only mutations that visibly affect teeth or bones will show up in the fossil record, and the majority of mutations do not affect teeth of bones: an earthworm does not have either teeth or bones for instance.

Have you calculated the proportion of vertebrate animals (ones with bones) that fossilise? Have you calculated the proportion of vertebrate animals with visible mutational damage in their bones or teeth?

When you have done those calculations then you will be in a better position to say whether there is a shortage of such fossils.

Why not? Are you saying that the omnipotent God is incapable of making a “wind 'em up and watch it go mechanism”?

If God cannot make such a mechanism, then God is not omnipotent. This looks like a theological error to me.

So you are saying that over the billions of years, we should have no examples of mistakes?

Seems to me that this random mutation is not so random at all.

Or maybe we are just really lucky.

No wonder I can’t win the lottery.
I spent all my luck just getting here.
 
Point 2: Archaeopteryx
There should be thousands of transitional fossils leading to Archaeopteryx thousands of transitional fossils leading to birds.And why did all these transitional animals die out, we still have Europeans ?
 
Yes, humans and pineapples certainly and apparently share a common ancestor.
Yes,the earth from which God used to create us with, the flesh and the pineapples both come from a earthly substance. The earth is the common ancestor.
 
Sure He could. Science is showing He didn’t.
Yes , God does use evolution create some things example : tadpole to frog, caterpillar to butterfly, but notice God’s evolution only takes a couple of weeks… not millions of years.
 
So you are saying that over the billions of years, we should have no examples of mistakes?
You didn’t bother to do the calculations, did you. Yes, we do have a few examples of mistakes. Not many, because the great majority of organisms do not have significant or fossilisable mistakes.

Look around you. How many cats do you see? What proportion of those cats have an obvious genetic error? And domestic cats are worse than wild cats, because some breeds have deliberately retained genetic errors through artificial selection by breeders.

Go and do the calculation.

We do have transitionals both before and after Archaeopteryx, mostly from China. A lot of them died out when the Chixulub meteor hit. That caused a sudden significant change in the environment, which only a few then living bird species survived.
