No, that would be the interpretation. The evidence clearly shows a progression of fossils that is not explained by YEC but is explained by evolution.

Do you realize that we convict people in court based on circumstantial evidence? I know that this may not be good enough for you, but for virtually all of the scientific community it is quite sufficient.
Have you seen news reports where convictions have been overturned after real evidence has revealed the “circumstantial evidence” used to convict people has been uncovered?
And some convictions are validated. Nevertheless, as I said, circumstantial evidence has been accepted by the courts.
