::::::: "''Remember, these take a while to form.''":  Yeah?  a given layer takes, what?, a few million years to form whilst slowly burying a specimen and it's evolved descendant?
 +
::::::: "''Kinds is not a scientific designation of any sort.''": How about [[baraminology|baramin]] then?  That's the scientific word for "kind".
 +
::::::: "''...we've recovered very little in the manner of fossils.''": I totally agree that we've only found a small proportion of all the creatures that lived, but there's still been enough to expect some smooth transitions.  You didn't address the evidence I offered from Gould.
 +
::::::: "''Tenuous? No, not really, but the exact order is uncertain.''": Now it's "the exact order".  Before it was "evolutionary chains are constantly discarded".  Your explanations seem about as flexible as evolution itself.
 +
::::::: "''I could give a condescending explanation of how that's different from religion, but I'll spare you that.''": I don't think you did (spare me).  Besides, I already know the explanation:  "Science is good because the scientists can't be certain they know what they are talking about.  Religion is bad because they know what they are talking about".  Well, that's not how you would spin it, but that's not far from what it would amount to.
 +
::::::: You can quote Wikipedia here if you wish.
 +
::::::: "''...could it be the fact that every single quote is from one side?''":  Golly!  You're right!  They're all evolutionists!  Do you want me to find a quote from a creationist too?
