but the thing is, darwin himself wrote in his scientific journal that he is just "guessing" on this subject. he wrote down that he hoped someone in the future would be able to advance his, lack of a better word, theory. he said that he is not sure about his idea, yet many people in the present day choose to just believe what he said hundreds of years ago. no one chose to research more about it.
and according to evolution and natural selection, an organism slowly adapts to its environment in order to survive. .... so there has to be intermediate stages betweeen organisms right? according to evolution a bat and a whale come from a common ancestor. so if this is true, then why hasn't a single person found any records/fossils of any of the stages between different organisms. if someone ever finds one, then evolution could actually seem like a reasonable idea.
