Go read a textbook. The evidence is enough to convince 99% of those who study biology.
What evidence do you have that the evidence we have is false. Sure you can nitpick on gaps (Clue: Theres always a gap otherwise they wouldn't be transitional.. think about it).
Science means we can look at a theory and we can predict the outcome with a level of accuracy. This has been done through expected results in the DNA record.
What do you have? A book with suspect origins. Genius.

Whale bears? Would we be incredulous if that was how it actually worked, or are you completely brainwashed?
So whats your explanation, for these fossils over the last 55 million years?
Horse Evolution over the last 55 Million Years
You can assert thats HOW its supposed to work, but have you actually ASKED a scientist? Have you read a science textbook?
Whales don't come from Bears, but they share a common ancestor, would you like to have a look? Here it is! Magnification level of "bloody loads".
Thats what evolution can be tracked back too. Abiogenesis is the only bit we're not sure about yet. We can be sure that God is a failed hypothesis.

I even provided the website where this was said.
A PRIMORDIAL FORM, you even highlighted it. Look up, I gave you a picture.. Does. That. Look. Like. A. Squirrel.
You're basically saying, is that Snickers bars are made by mixing Gummi Bears up. when in fact, they simply both started as a bag of sugar. Not a great analogy, but the point is, they share a common origin, even if the method they got to the final product were different.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
