Paleontology does lead to mistakes including whoopers like mistaking different developmental stages of the same animal for different species. But that's about the details of evolution.
As evidence of evolution's existence, paleontology is unmistakeable and overwhelming. The record runs from single cell to multi-cell. And complex forms are invariably elaborations of other complex forms. Geographic separation inevitably leads to differing forms. The greater the separation, the greater the differences. Hence the marsupial.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
