Why is evolution hiding?

[Esquilax]

If, after almost two centuries of digging beneath all the world's continents, no previous ancestor of this first hard-bodied creature has been found, how then did the ubiquitous trilobite evolve? There should be some previous ancestor if evolution were true.

You mean like these guys? Took me about four seconds on google.

More importantly, you do realize that the formation of fossils is an incredibly rare and lucky thing that happens, right? Not every organism gets perfectly preserved, or even preserved at all, but the ones that we are lucky enough to find do point to evolution not only in terms of cladistics, but also in terms of the geologic layers they're found in. No organism has ever been found in a layer other than the one evolutionary theory predicts we would find them in. We've even discovered specific transitional forms- like Tiktaalik- just by digging down to the layer we'd expect them to exist at if evolution were true.

It's like finding an exquisite watch on the seashore and yet never finding any previous primitive models of the watch on earth. If you reasoned as an evolutionist, you would deny there was a need for a watchmaker at all, maintaining that time, water, sand, minerals and actions of the elements are sufficient to producing a fully functional watch that runs. This is part of the reason it takes more faith to believe in evolution than in a Creator!

Rebuttal of the watchmaker argument, since I can't be bothered typing it all out again.

Further important evidence from the fossil record is the absence of transitional forms between species. Darwin was concerned that the thousands of intermediate stages between creatures needed to prove his theory were not in evidence, but he expected they would eventually be found. Yet those thousands of missing transitional forms are still missing!

No, they aren't.

All should be in a state of flux. But these missing links are wanting. There are no fossils of creatures whose scales were changing into feathers or whose feet were changing into wings, no fossils of fish getting legs or of reptiles getting hair.

In order: Microraptor, Tiktaalik, Synapsids.

We have all of those fossils. This guy is talking out of his ass.

Are we done here?
