::::::: Yes, what you claim to know is consistent with evolution. But the fossil record part of evolution is little more than arranging unrelated fossils in a sequence and telling a story connecting them, just as I did with the sticks. The stick story is absurd because you know better. The evolution story is not absurd because... er, because.... er, because you ''don't'' know better. But they amount to the same thing, in principle. Evolution is a ''story'' to explain the evidence. Creationists have the same evidence, but tell a ''different'' story to explain it. So it really comes down to which ''story'' is the more believable. I don't dismiss the evidence, but I happily dismiss the ''story'' that evolutionists tell about that evidence. And the evidence and the story are two different things, yet I've ''often'' seen evolutionists quote the story as though it is the evidence. In which cases I will dismiss it as "storytelling".
