The footprints of man in fossil form walking alongside dinosaurs pretty well messes with the "fossil record" as You guys put it. You don't have proof of change in the fossil record, you have a show of diversity. And isn't it interesting that fossils require bodies being covered in mud in order to form. Carcases are not covered over by neatly sifted layers of different types of dirt, sand, minerals etc.. layers in normal cycles are layed down as an amalgumation. Only with liquifaction can you get thoroughly sorted layers of strata which blows the strata theory of dating right out of the water (no pun intended).
And if we evolved from apes, why is it that the apes are still with us while none of the other forms of 'man' are. Yeah, I'm sure ya'll have a theory for everything; but, that's just it, it's all a bunch of theory based on assumption - The only facts you have are a bunch of bones. But, you can't honestly claim to be able to date the bones with any degree of accuracy. And that is true because no one knows the level of contamination the samples have been subjected to - which means that every single date applied to anything is a guess. You may use equipment to make the guess; but, in the end, that's all it is. Theories piled upon guesses and lauded as fact. Do you want to guess how many shows I've seen on archeology that ever mentions the word "theory" with regard to evolution - less than 1%.
I love following Egyptology; And in following it, I get to see the moronicism innate in modern science on a regular basis. I've seen the story of the two tombs - one cut into and built around another. The one added later is said to be the first though there is no possible way that can be. But, it is stated as fact because altering that plays with earlier conclusions based on shoddy work. Everyone wants to look good and no one wants to admit being wrong at any cost. That is smug eliteism, not scholarship. But that's what passes in the scientific community as "knowing something".
As for the old "if man came from apes, why are there still apes" canard: No evolutionist says man came from apes. Humans and apes descended from a common ancestor. We've been over this ground many times. Either you are new to these threads, or you are suffering from a major case of amnesia.
