Viss, you hit on it but didn't make a big enough deal of it... you folks make it sound like everything that has ever died and fallen to the ground ends up fossilized! The conditions that must be present for fossilization to occur are known and are VERY specific. The incredible majority of things that have lived on this earth most likely have NO fossils anywhere. Furthermore, considering those that do exist could be anywhere in the depth of the crust of the earth, what you think of as "years of excavation" hasn't even scratched the surface! Heck, we're finding new LIVING animals all the time, finding a fossil for each of the extinct ones most likely will never happen.
Creationists constantly use arguements based on things that don't exist anywhere anymore in any fashion, why can't they accept some of the evolutionists?
