It is my understanding that the fossil record does not support evolution in the sense that there are few, if any, fossils of transitional species. Examples of fish evolving into land animals and such. That the record shows several periods of many new species emerging, but nothing that would show evolving from one species to another.
Well, considering that every fossil is either one of a transitional species or a species that died off without a direct descendant, your first post is wrong. On your point about a seeming lack of evidence, there are a number of threads here with plenty of evidence provided for evolution, from fossil rdcords to DNA to observed speciation with plenty in between. I'd suggest you use the search function before you again declare a paucity of evidence for evolution.
