1. Simple answer, we do have millions of transitional species and their fossils, every species IS a transitional species. There are several good youtube videos showing them. Fossils are rare to begin with.
2. talking about the big bang. That is currently being studied, it is theorized effecting particles existed shortly after the big bang, which only exist after events of similar energy output and then is gone.
& it's Earth that's an open system, 2nd law does refer only to closed systems.
Dead animals are just *vastly* more likely to turn into compost, or enter the guts of another animal than turn into a fossil. Look around you at what happens to dead things & compost. It's a rare situation indeed that allows fossilization.
Yeah, I watched them. I did have I think 1 or 2 questions but I need to rewatch to remember what they were and I've been trying to get replies to some other videos over a week old. For the most part though they were definitely very helpful.
I think Darwin actually explains in the following paragraphs that the fossil record will expand in the future and allow us to make many new findings. He explains it somewhere, anyway. You have to remember that when he wrote the book, we had barely any fossils to look at.

He does.. and I'm aware there were hardly the number of fossils then as there is now, but I still think there should be much more.
