Simply stating that the odds are against evolution without actually SHOWING that the odds are against evolution is NOT EVIDENCE. Also, you are not the arbitrator of whether... whatever you're supposed to do in baseball. I specifically asked you to answer a question, and you have repeatedly refused to do so.
As for evidence that I would accept? I would accept a fossil lineage that shows (at least) three various fossils that belong to the same lineage. Take the whale for example, starting with Ambulocetus, then Basilosaurus, then modern whales. We can see transitional features in the lineage of the whale, specifically the nostrils moving up the skull from the front of the skull, a snout, to the position it is currently in as a blowhole, and also that we see the limbs transitioning from limbs with extant fingers (the proper name escapes me) in to the flippers that whales currently possess.
You would have to show a fossil of an animal that belongs to that lineage, that does not fit in to the lineage nor possess any of the features that exist in either Ambulocetus', Basilosaurus' or whales, but still fits in to that lineage.
I await your reply (if you have one).
I could show you skulls of dogs that if lined up in a supposed evolutionary line the snout gets longer.
But anyway....
Discussions of whale origins assume various extinct creatures were whale ancestors, an assumption often disproved as a result of more fossil finds. One ex- ample is mesonychids, which was shown not to be a viable whale transition after Archeocetes was discovered in Eocene strata. Another example is the whale putative ancestor, Basilosaurus, which was initially thought to be a serpent- like reptile but was later reclassified as a “whale-like” mammal (Evans, 1987, p. 2). This animal does not provide support for whale evolution, though, because no clear fossil connections exist between Basilosaurus and the Ar cheocetes and modern whales, whether toothed (Odontoceti) or baleen, a fact put bluntly by Gaskin.
Archaeoceti could not be considered as direct ancestors of either modern baleen whales or modern toothed whales.... It was unlikely that they gave rise to the ancestral forms of either group. The Archaeoceti may be regarded as a less successful independent line which died out perhaps 10 million years ago (Gaskin,1972, p. 3).
Fossil teeth are central to the whale fossil record. Unfortunately, this evidence is very problematic. For example, Pakice- tus teeth resemble those of Protocetus and Indocetus (Berta, 1995; Bajpai and Gingerich, 1998). Toothed whales first appeared in the fossil record in the Eocene, estimated by evolutionists to be 30 million geological years after the Archeocetes became extinct (Evans, 1987; Alexander, 1975). Evans concluded that the Eocene archeocete fossils were “replaced” by members of four different fossil whale orders in strata judged to be Oligocene. Two separate types of Odon- toceti—those with polyform teeth, such as the Squalodontidae, and others with no dental differentiation (monoform teeth)— may have existed. Only the monoform dentition groups still exist today.
Darwinists claim that whale teeth evolved from the “differentiated” con- dition found in fossil whales, to the
“undifferentiated” teeth found in modern Odontoceti. This evolution scenario requires a series of fossils linking a long serpent-like creature with tiny back legs (such as the Basilosaurus) to modern toothed whales. Furthermore, the com- parison of these unrelated and unlinked life-forms is not based on scientific data, and evidence exists that they were con- temporary with whales, thus could not be a whale precursor.
The claim that true polyform teeth exist in certain fossil Odontoceti requires more study (Ridgway, 1972). Toothed Squalodontidae fossils found in the late Oligocene possessed teeth grouped into functional incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. For this reason evolutionists are forced to claim that teeth became more numerous and less specialized as the pre-whales evolved into modern Odontoceti whales (Gaskin, 1972).
