The record is also overwhelmingly comprised of marine species beacuse of the requirements for fossilisation.
Given the above, the fact that the fossil record is as complete as it is amazing.
And yet some buffoons want the record to be completely unbroken with transitional fossils coming labeled in the deposits with the parts that are relevant.
They demand impossible levels of proof for evolution and old earth while giving not one jot of evidence for their own childish beliefs.
When we understand the chemistry of water well enough to make virtually iron clad predictions about how it evaporates, how it condenses, and how it interacts with the content of the atmosphere and the surface of the earth. When we understand the physics of falling body and fluid dynamics of a droplet well enough to make virtually iron clad predictions about how condensed water will fall through the air, the creationists would say "rain fall is a theory because you have not actually physically captured on film the entire falling process of every rain drop that ever existed".
But when they claim god created rain according to the bible, there is never a hint of even the vaguest allusion to how god created even a single drop of water, much less how it dropped, what is the testable properties of the water, the sky, the earth, and the god tha suggest this is even to be taken as anything more than a joke of a fart.
BTW, rainfall is also a theory, just like evolution. Rainfall, like evolution, happen to be theories that conform to real facts.
Bible may be "truth", but it is the sort of utterly worthless truth that has not a hint of the awareness that there exists such a thing as fact in which it ought to ground itself.
