Fossil Record: A Problem for Evolution

When I looked up the specific instance I was alluding to (of lizards evolving to form a new species) I found a new instance- it's not a new species, but it is evolution via natural selection. As for disproving the bible, the people who do the most to disprove it are its authors- or else could you please explain to me why, among many examples, there are three version's of Jesus's last words on the cross in the canonical gospels?

@Choscura I can show you species that are still alive that have evolved into separate groups, and there are plenty of known living species that have evolved into entirely different new species even since the 1970's.
This comment in no way fits in with evolutionary theory. You don't know what you are talking about. All anyone can say that is also verifiable, is that there is variation within species. Vertical evolution is a "dream", dreamt up by people determined to cast doubt on the Bible.

@LaughTonyLaugh Ur right organisms do change over time but only to a limit. All birds come from a common bird, all canines to a common canine, all whales to common whale, etc. Variations within a species is provable science. I don't believe all life came from single celled organisms & all life shares a common genetic ancestor. No solid science can prove such a claim, it's a belief. It sounds dumb that plants & animals share a common ancestor.

@Choscura I hope you are talking about real fossils and not the obscure imagination of a creative artist!

@raponte1955 Your understanding is absolutely correct, you're right: It would make your argument stronger, if there were any lack of transitional species. There is no lack of transitions. I am offering to show you them. I am offering to show you real living species that you can probably take a road trip (at most) to find for yourself and compare. And I can show you in the Bible why the belief that it should happen any other way is inappropriate, if you'd like. Are you interested?

@Choscura Don't get it: if "thousands of species is an understatement" then it only adds to my argument that the odds of having more species with their transition record completed should be much more higher....??????

@raponte1955 First, thousands of species is an understatement, an 'endless army' is an overstatement, and 150 years is barely the twinkling in your eye. I can show you species that are still alive that have evolved into separate groups, and there are plenty of known living species that have evolved into entirely different new species even since the 1970's.

@raponte1955 Thats exactly right and to be a scientist you have to be open minded and can not believe in a creator because the only alternative to evolution is intelligent design
Finally a scientist with a BRAIN (besides Dr David Berlinski)
Evolution......oops....meant to say Ev-LIE-ution is the biggest load of CRAP ever.
The most OUTDATED and FLAWED theory to ever be thought up.

@zroos3 Then, isn't it strange that out of thousands and thousands of species, only a handful have had their transition record "completed"? It defies laws of probabilities, specially given the fact that an endless army of paleontologists over the last 150 years have been searching for transition fossils. Yes, I know that you would come up with an excuse, once more, to justify this. This seems to be the specialty trade of evolutionists.
