Like I said, you can't prove that the fossil you find in the dirt had any kids. Fossils don't come with dates attached to it. No fossil count.

This fundie has at least got the scientific method right; You prove positives, not negatives.
Now, let's move on to the bible.
What do you want, a family photo album of protoceratops and kin?
This isn't empiricism -- it's just an outlandish refusal to examine and honestly interpret the evidence that DOES exist.
~David D.G.
Y'know, Satan put the copyright dates on all the bones he hid in the dirt. We have all kinds of bar-code readers and stoof to decipher the dates.
Goddamn, guess what? All the different bones and different dates add up to a long story about really old life forms that are nothing like what we have today.
I'd say Satan did a much neater and thorough job than god did.
“Like I said, you can't prove that the fossil you find in the dirt had any kids.”
Oh, sweetie! How ignorant!
Individuals don’t evolve and are not the fundamental unit of evolutionary progress.
Populations are. Gene pools are.
An orohippus fossil need not have had any offspring that lived to reproduce to advance the theory of evolution.
We can just say that to the best of our knowledge, there was a time where there were Orohippuses. And there were times before and after that where we don’t find any orohippuses.
It was between the eohippus; and the equus’ times.
"Fossils don't come with dates attached to it. No fossil count.”
Incorrect. Your objection was noted, weighed, found wanting, and jettisoned.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
