ideas, but despite the wealth of fossils that have been found since then, this plethora of transitional forms has not been found.
Note that I'm not even talking about how well fossils make sequences without all the "missing links," just that the ratio of transitional forms to fully-formed creatures is much lower than it should be if evolution were correct (it is probably close to zero, in fact). Even the forms we now think are transitional are probably just creatures we don't understand yet.
8. Vestigial organs
Years ago, biologists thought that living things had many different organs and parts that were the remnants of functioning parts from the past but currently served no known function. Some examples from humans are the appendix and the tonsils, both of which are now known to play a role in the immune system. Of course, not knowing a function does not prove there is no function: there can always be a function that we do not understand yet. Most of the other historically vestigial parts are also known to have functions now as well. Evolutionists try to use supposedly vestigial parts as evidence for evolution, but even if there were any vestigial parts, the change is in the wrong direction. If anything, these parts would have devolved from something functioning to something non-functioning. Again, this is a loss of information and hardly support for macro-evolution.
Conclusion
I hope the preceding points have given you some idea of the grave problems that evolutionists have encountered when trying to fit the physical evidence to their theory. Not only does the fossil record not support the theory, but several individual scientific laws directly contradict it! Furthermore, while natural selection as a method of genetic variation within a species has certainly been observed both inside and outside of the lab, neither macro-evolution (one species turning into another) nor spontaneous generation (living cells or organisms appearing from non-living chemical matter) has ever been observed. Evolution is scientifically impossible and only continues to be supported by evolutionists due to blind faith in their theory.
