Where are the Fossils?

Something that has been a continual weakness in Darwinism is the lack of fossil records for those aforementioned useless steps we were discussing. Paleontologists have consistently been unable to show us the gradual evolution of creatures. You may recall those drawings in textbooks of different animals along the path of evolution, such as from a fish to a lizard. But the pictures shown are all the steps from one species to the one it evolved into that we could find fossils for.

The truth is, we are grossly lacking the gradually changing fossils that should exist all around us. You will never go into a natural history museum and see giraffe fossils in a neat row showing them growing inch by inch over the years to their current height. Those intermediary steps are missing from the fossil records. Thus, scientists are forced to fantasize about what those in between steps even looked like because there is no record of their existence.
