3-legged cows absent in fossil record – Darwin weeps

Via Pharyngula this has got to be one of the stupidest frickin’ things I have read in awhile:

Link: Pat Sullivan Blog: Evolution: What should life look like?.

Why would macro evolution somehow take primordial soup and create thru random means this amazingly diverse world we observe and then STOP?  I suppose it can be argued it is because of the massive amount of time and the last 5,000 years is just a nit in time.  But that seems irrelevant to me.  Regardless of where we are on the spectrum of time, there ought to be massive numbers of obvious, incomplete transitional forms for us to observe.   e,g, cows with 3 legs and a partial 4th still in the process of evolving. Multiply that across tens of millions of species.  The amount of macro evolution we should be observing ought to be massive.  And yet there essentially is nothing.

Yes, this fellow is claiming that evolutionary theory, if true, would predict a 3 legged cow as a precursor to a 4 legged cow.  This genius doesn’t even follow his own logic to a natural conclusion i.e. that our current 4 legged cows are just steps on the way to an even more complete 5-legged version.  What a maroon.

Update: Evolution in Action! Take that Sullivan!
