A compelling case fo evolution cannot be made on the basis of just fossils alone." Depends on whom you're trying to convince. A compelling case for gravity and germ theory and heliocentrism also couldn't be made to those who simply decide they don't want to accept it. Anyway, besides fossils testifying to the factuality of evolution, there's also the existence of nested hierarchies, biogeographic distribution of species, genetics, observation of change in action (hello dogs, finches, peppered moths, etc) and more. "Those who cavalierly reject the Theory of Evolution, as not adequately supported by facts, seem quite to forget that their own theory is supported by no facts at all." -Spencer “Pretty lame.

Funny, that’s what I always think whenever I see that silly poster with the fossil that says “Evolution. We have the fossils. We win”

Pretty lame. A compelling case fo evolution cannot be made on the basis of just fossils alone.
