We are not the product of evolutionary mutations, nor natural selection, as we both well know, Dan. Stranger still is the claim by those who deal with fossils that the Earth's Crust deals in a sort of intelligent selection itself - choosing only to preserve a relatively few species in abundant amounts while selectively passing over the millions of transitional ancestral species without a single specimen! Of course, we are told that this is because of the "imperfection of the fossil record," even though the fossil record has consistently yielded abundant samples of those well-defined and recognized groups. For example, at the latest count, we have discovered around 120 Tyrannosaurus Rex specimens, with about 30 - 40 of those skeletons considered to be reasonably complete. But not a single transitional ancestor at any stage has been found to these 120. That's mathematically impossible, and it is true of every kind of known species. Years ago I found perhaps the most exhaustive list of supposed Transitional Fossils I had ever come across, and I found it in Wikipedia. However, upon close examination I soon found that what the article was attempting to pawn off as “transitional fossils” were fraudulent. Huge gaping chasms existed in every single case. And then, in the article itself, the admission was made that, “Almost all of the transitional forms in this list do not actually represent ancestors of any living group or other transitional forms.” They said "almost all," but the truth was it was "all." And if they do not actually represent ancestors of any living group or other transitional forms, then they do not qualify.
