Now back to the quality of the fossil record. Recall that the figures from Denton were of terrestrial vertebrates. Evolutionists often say: fossilization is such a rare event, the fossil record is only sketchy. But look at these percentages of existing fossils. Virtually all Orders are found. That corresponds to the “meat eaters” in the cat example. The majority of Families are found (79.1%). If you excludes birds, that number increases to about 88 %.
