Oh OK, so the changes are so subtle that there would be absolutely no fossil record spanning millions of years that show those changes. Isn't that convenient for you seeing that it plays right into your 'you should just take what I say as fact' type argument.

There are records, he is saying he doesn't have them on hand

I'm saying evolution is an observed fact that we have witnessed in animals with very short lifespans. Even without the fossil record their is still so much verification that this happened.
-
You're talking about variations within species, not evolution on a large scale.

No, i'm not.

Understand that a majority of changes are on internal, "soft" components. The things that break down when a body decays.
-
Fair enough, but over millions upon millions of years no skeletal remains would fossilize...I find that hard to believe and convenient when explaining away the lack of evidence in the fossil record.

There are lots of fossils in the fossil record that show a gradual change like land mammals to whales. There's also lots of gaps. The conditions necessary for fossilization aren't common. You'll never see a transition of a bird to a dog, because that's not what happened.

Thank you. That was just about what I was gonna say.
