Line 28: − Evolutionary and Fossil Record Viewpoint : − Just as the majority of all fossil records have lacked every single point in their transitional records (until they were obviously dug up and found), Kangaroos fossil record has some gaps in its fossil history. However, this fossil record, whilst still being completed would point to the common origins of all marsupials to one ancestor. This is not a viewpoint made from one single book supposedly handed down by a figure never before seen by man other than through the word of mouth. Rather a viewpoint formed through intense study, totally objective observation, and modern technology made able through other forms of scientific study of the same nature. Fossil records of the kangaroo may be missing transitional states but just like the land to water transitional state of tiktaliik was not found until very recently, the creationist bunch complained that it lacked evidence are now say nothing on the subject. Why do something lack transitional states and others do not? Well think for one moment, because we had to dig them out of the ground. Proving that a transitional state doesn't exist because it hasn't been found would a very bold and contradicting move for a person who says an all powerful being sent us a book telling us how to live and surely existed because I can't disprove it. Pick one, at least mine will eventually be dug out of the ground, or is a very simple stretch of mind to think that one thing had a 2ft arm that became a 3ft arm without finding the 2.5ft arm fossil in between. − + − − − − Creationist Viewpoint : − − Hey just read the bible, you'll find absolutely everything on this topic and every other topic forever in there and there's no reason to ever change anything, ever.

{{QuoteBox|The Macropod family is alleged to have evolved from either the Phalangeridae (possums) or Burramyidae (pygmy-possums)...<br />However, there are no fossils of animals which appear to be intermediate between possums and kangaroos. ''Wabularoo naughtoni'', supposed ancestor of all the macropods, was clearly a kangaroo (it greatly resembles the potoroos which dwell in Victoria’s forests). If modern kangaroos really did come from it, all this shows is the same as we see happening today, namely that kangaroos come from kangaroos, "after their kind." <ref>Driver, Rebecca, [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/755/ Kangaroos: God's amazing craftsmanship], ''Creation'' 20(3):28–31, June 1998.</ref>}}
