"and why can I not "invoke" the laws of probability"

Because you're cherrypicking which parts of science to believe according to your belief system. You are starting with a premise and shoehorning certain theories to fit, rather than observing something and working backwards to find out why/how etc and then developing a theory from that. That's fine, but it ain't science.

"whilst acknowledging that there is apparently an order in the fossils , it is not as clearcut as you might like to think, and specimens have been moved in position as new fossil discoveries are unearthed."

Not as clearcut as I like to think? Really? You need to tell me more about this, I'm just about to undertake an extended period of research on dinosaurs and thought I understood how the fossil record was laid down and how palaeontologists and geologists use these fossils in a myriad of ways. Explain this please!

"I have no doubt that in the event of spectacular discoveries in the fossils coming to light, you will only fall back on your pious pronouncements of science never assuming anything, just as you now do with the dino discoveries."

I don't do pious Pete, not my thing. There are infinitely more talented and knowledgeable palaeontologists than I whose opinion me and many others would like to hear, were such a spectacular discovery to occur. Except it won't occur will it? Because if any creationists are out there looking for such fossils they haven't found them, and you're not out there helping. Given all this, how could you even know the science is wrong? You presume to know the mind of God?
