The lack of fossil evidence isn't the same as non-existence.

It is unless you believe by faith.

No... that you can't prove a negative is an axiom.

But there has been several excellent sites found very far apart, we don't
need to excavate the earth.

What is there in what we haven't explored? We have absolutely no idea
but undoubtedly there are things we haven't found...

Hell, we don't even know what's presently alive in the deep oceans or
remote jungles, what's more what may be buried in inaccessible
locations.

To postulate that any form could _never_
have existed is simply not supported by the fact it may/has not yet been
found. I find drawing inferences from the evidence of what we do find
and other scientific processes far more satisfying.

But that's what ID is. Inference from evidence. You can pick a side
but to blame the other for using the same criteria isn't reasonable.

That's what ID precisely isn't...continues to make presumptions and
selective interpretations.
