Since the fossil record gives no evidence of the gradual transformation of species, the only other place to look is breeding experiments

Without question, we can know life forms, depend on the evolution of earth before it could exist, and that when conditions change, those life forms that can not adjust to the change die, while the life forms that can adjust will thrive.
We know without question that dinosaurs existed and the bible makes no mention of them.
We can be confident that the biblical explanation of life is not scientific. Things do not come into being by the will of God. They come into being through a process. Before there could be oxygen breathing animals, there had to be plants to produce the oxygen, and deforesting the earth causes a lot of damage, and can result in the destruction of life. Understanding science is vital to our existence, and fighting science is not real smart.
This does not mean there is no God. It only means God does not do things the way the bible says God does things.
If everyone would just be okay with a God beyond our comprehension, and the other group would make peace with science, than we could use our mental powers to resolve urgent earth problems and stop wasting our minds and energy. People are dying, animals are becoming extinct, we have real problems to resolve, and God is not going to send angels, or birds, or His son to save our sorry asses. It is up to us to identify the cause and effect of these things and make the right choices. It is up to us to understand the laws of nature and nature's God.
