Take a Memo:
Not quite. It seems you're thinking of evolution like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, where there is a set beginning state and a set end state, with a transition state in between. But that's not what evolutionary theory claims. Most changes are incremental and small, and not necessarily distinctly recognizable. There's no point where you can clearly say: "this generation was species A, and the next generation was species B." There's a point where you can say "Species A" and a point where you can say "Species B," but you can't necessarily recognize the point of change...or a side branch that becomes species A.5 instead of B.
And remember...when you're saying "suddenly," that means over the course of hundreds of thousands or millions of years. Fossils are rare. We can't expect to find any, but what we can do is predict that IF certain fossils are found that they will have certain qualities. And those predictions, such as whales with legs, have been correct.
When I say "suddenly" I mean suddenly. We can pinpoint where various species came into existence in the fossil record and when they became extinct. They appear, full formed, suddenly... not over millions of years of transition. The "whales with legs" thing is a myth... largely speaking. Whales do have a bony structure which could, in a deformity, appear to be a "leg" but this is not connected to the vertebral structure which is the case in every mammal that has legs. This bony structure also has a fundamental purpose to the species... and it's not so that whales can walk.
I understand how the evolution process is supposed to work, you're not talking to someone who is illiterate. At this time, there is absolutely ZERO evidence of any cross-genus evolution. The ONLY evolution is adaptation of species over time to form (sometimes) new species... not new genera taxa. Black bears become polar bears... spotted owls become white owls... those are adaptations.
DNA is the smoking gun that kills cross-genus evolution or "macro-evolution" because DNA proves it's not possible biologically. The mitochondria in the DNA molecule functions based on a specific amino acid and enzyme combination and nothing else works with it. In order for the "mutation" theory (Darwin) to be valid, the mathematical probability of a randomly-produced correct combination is 10^180 ...that is greater than all the atoms in the known universe. In other words, mathematically impossible.
They tested fruit flies for over 100 years, trying to make a mutation happen in order to prove the mutation theory and they failed to find any evidence of such. After millions and millions of generations, not one new amino acid or enzyme was produced. This is quite simply, an 18th century theory that has no basis for support today. Yet... Evolutionist Atheists cling to it like the Holy Grail... pardon the pun.
