The fossil record is a component in a tapestry of evidence that leads one to the conclusion of evolution; the distinct morphological similarities between animals within the fossil record, plus their specific ordering within the geologic column, with every animal in place, and none out of order, among other things, is proof of evolution, regardless of how you want to dismiss it.
Moreover, the fossil record allows us to make predictions, and we've done that: if evolution is real, we should be able to go to X layer and find Y type of animal, and we've done that, finding Tiktaalik and others in the process. So was that just blind luck? Are you really going to tell us that it was sheer luck that we've managed to find exactly what was predicted, at exactly the right point on the planet, based on speculation alone?

There's plenty of proof and evidence of species transition, which is what evolution describes. Your only response to that was to dismiss the entire concept of species as a scientific conspiracy to undermine the biblical terms you pulled out of your ass, but we know that's literally false, as the term species predates evolution by centuries. In fact I find it rather ironic that you'll assert- baselessly- that there's false statements and lies within evolution following a set of assertions like that from you; will you retract your false statement, now that you've been given evidence that it was wrong?
Moreover, now that your dismissal has been proven baseless, what will be your next response to the fact that species to species transitions are what are described in evolution, and observed to occur? Obviously you can't use a false premise as your rebuttal.
