From Langomort: "exact ancestry is not possible to establish"

Re: Scientist who Reject Evolution
Dear Guessman...

You stated:
"gaps can be seen between fish and amphibians, amphibians and reptiles, reptiles and birds, reptiles and mammals, & apes and man."

Are you saying there are no known links found between these groups in the fossil record?

Also, Patterson was not stating there are no transitional fossils. He was stating, due to the extensive nature of the branching bush of life, exact ancestry is not possible to establish. Basically put, the evidence for ancestry between ancient Roman's and Modern Italians is obvious and compelling, but picking up a skull and saying, "This is Charlie's Great Great...Great Grandfather, is a bit too much to ask. This does not mean morphological gaps between groups are not regularly found and in the proper place within the fossil record.
