Partial dragonfly fossil from the Solnhofen limestone.
What is seen in the fossil record of life forms is stasis-a lack of macro-change within geological zones and in fossil vs living forms or so called "living fossils" such as the dragonfly. I do not know of any "transition" fossil life forms. Because of this lack of evidence for evolution, the changing of one life form into another, the philosophical concept of punctuated equilibrium was conceived. It is NOT a scientific observable process, but is necessary if one assumes the philosophical views of macro-evolution, e.g. genetic relatedness among basic groups of life forms.
In contrast, the observed data can just as easily be put within creation (design) and a worldwide flood. However, assumptions are made here too-e.g. complexity of structure in life forms argues for a designer and that worldwide geological apparent sedimentary strata are the residues of massive worldwide flooding. As a scientist, knowing some of the interfacing of science/philosophy/religion, I choose to place these data within the context of a worldwide flood and also a Creator.
Our children should be taught to think critically and not just root concepts of evolution in public school. I have written an article on the interfacing of Religion, Science and Philosophy-see link below for more information. Also, the book I have written on the Noah Flood as a True Narrative Representation has information as well-see book section this website.
