However, this is not the case, rather, the fossil record shows the original diversity of animal and plant forms.
Evolution models of the fossil record predict the following:
- wholesale transitions in organisms over time
- primitive forms evolving into complex forms
- gradual derivation of new organisms produced transitional forms
We do not find any of these to be true based on our fossil record.
Trilobites are an example of an organism appearing suddenly in the fossil record void of any evidence of transitions. Furthermore, trilobites have an organized complexity comparable to modern day invertebrates.
The facts remain, fossils have been discovered to suddenly appear in the record without transition. This is what would be expected from intelligent design not macroevolution.
You should not attempt to tackle a subject you clearly have absolutely no understanding of. I've read your Bible, at least show me the courtesy of reading a decent reference book on Evolution before attempting to comment. If you are not prepared to read one then just don't say anything, because your ignorance is making you look extremely foolish.
What kind of a god would want his followers to misrepresent knowledge on his/her/their behalf? That is what you have turned your god into.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
