Thunk! Evolution

I read a comment the other day : " Evolution is the foundation of biology". Indeed it is, ....yet, what is more important is that life is the foundation of evolution even
Biology directly attributes life's origin to a particular configuration or configurations of evironmental factors suitable for spontaneously giving rise to life in a distant point in time...presumably a once in a 4 billion year event that has never repeated itself since, not to worry we will check again in another billion years (just in case life origination happens again, never know when the perfect storm may arise, when lightning bolts may strike carbonised mineral water the right way or when volcanic mudpools spontaneously give rise to amoebic extremophiles, one never quite knows these things)
Enough smut talk about abiogenesis, I hear you say.. okay let's move on to evolution,... biology states that evolution is happening as we speak, infact every biological life force on earth is still evolving....meaning all living beings are evolving into different creatures....simply put, in a billion years from now life will look completely different to what it is now (that's us...... me, you and every cockroach in your cupboard).
Biology has a lot of evidence supporting evolution including the fossil record and DNA commonality between species, which of course contradicts God being the father of all life on earth since there is no evidence for God. And since God is a spiritual being (not a material one) it is impossible for Him to be the father of all material DNA lifeforms,...because according to your local brat pack atheist community, simultaneity of existence is supposedly impossible for a God entity.
Surely only theists deny the fact that biological science has artificially created life in laboratories, successfully evolved one type of species into another. In fact the US government has already artificially engineered sniffer dogs to help with terrorist bombs, evolving Collie breeds to have synthetic armadillo skins which are flexible but resistent to shrapnel, the new species is called the Lassiedillo. The only problem of course, is that none of the above is true.
Those little bits and piecesof RNA components formed in laboratories, is not evidence for spontaneous life origination it is evidence for intelligent intervention because intelligent human beings were involved in the first place in purposely setting up the whole thing. And none of those "building blocks" asembled into anything resembing life...or a living cell. ..or anything self-propagating for that matter, ...what to speak then of adding synthetically modified DNA to an already existing cell, that cell which already existed, you did not create it, it was there already in nature, pre-built for propagation.
The evolution of ecoli and guppies under laboratory conditions is anything but "evolution", because they did not "evolve" into anything besides ecoli and guppies, the same for bacteria and the same for plants and whatever else that adapts and mutates, there is a limit beyond which "evolution" does not cross (not in nature and not in a laboratory). Surely, you say, I'm assuming that ? No I am not, biology itself has not demonstrated anything beyond that limit yet blatantly accepts it as fact.
Without demonstrability there is no proper science, and without proper science you're left with science fiction, ...or more precisely a belief system with links to science, scientology.
Hold on, you say, evidence supporting evolution is surely strengthened by the discovery of hundreds of millions of transitional fossils dug up all over the world. Fossils having accumulated over billions of years of gradual transition out of one species into another, ...a progressive, step by step, evolutionary record of evolutionary stages.
Yes, except......there is no such thing as millions of transitional fossils, there are instead big jumps from one species to another as in THUNK! , there it is.
I am not talking about one or two odd examples of seemingly transitional creatures like the platypus and fish that walk on land with adapted lungs, those were separate species on their own, I am talking about millions of MISSING examples of all types of transitional creatures across the entire selection of past (and present) species. To more precisely illustrate the point, in a billion years from now they will be digging up human graveyards all over the planet finding strange thickboned two handed, two legged, bi-pedaled human fossils....and in the many strata above that they will be finding progressively changing human fossils reflecting the eras of technological advancement where physical exhertion played a smaller role and mental development took precedence in human evolution. But of course that is all presumption and humans may not eventually "evolve" into alien greys with massive heads and spindly bodies, such evidences of transitioning does not yet exist, in the time period of what is considered an intelligently constituted society with a reliable historical recording.
You see, evolutionary biology seeks to overcome gradual transitioning of species using a CREATION STORY , they call it CLADOGENESIS as opposed to the BIble's Genesis,
.....this basically means : THUNK! there it is.
What strange comeuppance, biology's indefatigible record of millions of transitional fossils does NOT exist
...that which was supposed to demonstrate the fact that crocodiles, don't suddenly give birth to ducks, and vice-versa, does not exist ;-).
You see without a fossil record of millions of transitional species, evolution is as good as creation....
as in :
THUNK! Evolution
