"Occam's Razor doesn't have the force of a logical law: it's a useful guideline for investigation."

Of course... but that razor is one decent guideline when deciding whether to simply accept a theological statement about 'creation' or **look** for answers that can be tested with math/physics..etc.
   Theology sounds simpler... "God did it." But buried in that are way more complex implications than can even be listed easily.
There is an important logical principle that is seldom appreciated properly: "From false premises, anything follows."
   Thus...**IF* God did notin factdo it, myriads of convoluted theological assertions are suspect, and Willie-O would not have enough blades for his razor.

Pete... you are truly NOT appreciating "fossil evidence of transitional forms" properly. I and others have tried to explain this, but you are treating lack of definitive details on transition as 'evidence' for your own unsupported beliefs. You ARE in a real minority, despite your confidence.
