The fossil record shows many intermediate and branch species now extinct. That's the kind of data that makes a strong case for evolution; see below.
Here's a sequence for horses; similar sequences exist in the fossil record for many modern species and many long extinct species.

Many branches on the equine tree. Notice how the toes shrink among recent species but do not disappear.

Interesting report on extinct 3 toed horses from Tibetan Plateau

A lot of nice pictures but where's your evidence?

Take your head out of the sand and answer the question, Elwood.
You’re engaging in volitional ignorance.

Unless it's been tampered with, there are no transitional form in the fossil record, every form is complete as God has created it.
I was pointing out the evidence to you.

@GodSpeed63 DUUUDE!!!
The fossil record is FULL of "transitional forms"!! Each "transitional form" is a species that might have existed for half a million years or more, and each species slowly evolves; changing away from its ancestors. What's captured in the fossil record are "snapshots" during the course of evolution (a better name might be "intermediate" species), along with branches that died out.
I showed you photos of a few skulls & foot bones along the evolutionary path of the horse. Go to any good natural history museum and you can find plenty more intermediate species for all kinds of different animals.
See some pics here: https://www.livescience.com/51793-extinct-ice-age-megafauna.html
But you won't do that, will you. You are carefully cultivating your volitional ignorance.

@GodSpeed63
lol! Almost every cell in your body is a genetic fossil record of the last 3.5 billion years of evolution that has resulted in you being here now... a Homo sapiens desperately trying to disingenuously ignore that evidence.
Now you'll say 'Where's your evidence?' - but you never specify what it is that needs evidence.
Never... you avoid specifics. You're terrified of specifics and details and honesty.
no transitional form in the fossil record

Umm, every fossil is a transitional fossil - do you really not understand that simple fact?
Either the organism was transitioning away from an ancestor held in common with other species, or it was transitioning towards extinction (99.9% of all species did the latter).
This is basic stuff! Where have you been living?

@GodSpeed63 Every organism is subjected, every millisecond of its life, to the selective pressures of Evolution by Natural Selection.
I realise you are frightened by Natural Selection, but it is unavoidable... although you have been trying to avoid it for several days now 😂
This arises because organisms are driven to replication (sex) and elimination (death), and all within ever-changing environments. as a result, there are differences in reproductive success, and those differences will lead to either genomic change... or extinction.
With a little thought you will understand that it cannot be any other way.
Alas, that requirement of 'a little thought' will defeat you... as always.

There's still no evidence for it.
No evidence there either. You keep avoiding the Truth of God like the plague, why?

Then take your head out of the sand and start showing some evidence to your so called 'science.'
You continue to engage in volitional ignorance.

@GodSpeed63 I did. I showed you a several "transitional forms" of modern horses from the fossil record. And you denied that they were evidence. That's volitional ignorance at its finest!!

@GodSpeed63 RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT
And the Bible is just ink marks on paper, isn't it! Look, reductionism is just arrogant sophistry. We expected more from you, but I guess arrogant sophistry is all you've got🤣😂

There's no one more blind than those who will not see the work of God or recognize His Word. Good day to you.
