Fossils don't exactly just pop up out of the ground by themselves y'know. It's lucky when we find some, and we can't go digging everything up just to prove to you how everything evolved. It is very lucky when a fossil does survive millions of years, but no, we're not finding enough to make you happy. Of course it's based on inference, compiling a complete fossil record would probably be impossible, given the vast number of species that died without leaving their skeleton in a place that leads to fossilization. >
>Some other problems for evolutionist is explaining how the >conscience,will and emotion evolved. Take that to the Lewis post. Seriously. Conscience and will are social constructs that we're fortunate enough to have and be able to debate because our brains are so damn evolved. Emotion exists in species beyond just humans. Part of it is survival instinct, but we've managed to develop a lot of different shades of it because we have the luxury of doing that, and because our brains and language capacity are quite evolved.

Yeah, and I bet a lot of beetles died along the way. Evolution has produced many specialized animals, plants, insects, any living thing, you could list 'em all day, but you're not really doing anything to disprove them, scientifically.
