How do Fossils count as evidence for Evolution. There are a bunch of bones in the dirt! There is no fossil record. There are no missing links there are bunch of bones of deads animals in the dirt.

Those bones don't match up to current living specimens aww, fuck, goddidit, you happy? I don't feel like explaining this. Believe whatever the hell you want.
How do fingerprints count as evidence of a person's presence?
How does scat count as evidence of an animal' s passage?
How does blood count as evidence of an injury?
Life can be so confusing.
"...a bunch of bones in the dirt!"
Hmm. <flash> HEY! I GOT IT!
the bones in the dirt is from all the times god tried to make adam and other shit from dirt and he wasnt good enough for a long time and all the bones in the dirt came from the adams and other shit he tried to make but he couldnt because he was stupid so he just left the bones in the dirt
Well, have you ever tried looking at those bones, piecing them together, and finding out that some of these dead animals actually reveal clues about the history of life in their skeletal structures? You know, seeing fish with half-fin, half-leg structures, dinosaurs with feathers, a series of creatures leading from primitive reptile-like things all the way up to early mammals, fully bipedal "apes," and such?
Fossils are rocks. They started as plants or animals. They not only represent bones, but feathers and, since some are plants, other structures, like leaves.
Someone should find one of the larger trilobite examples and hit you over the head with it until you stop twitching.
Someone should at least try to get him to understand fossil != bone. Fossils are minerals that have replaced where the bones were.
Damn, I need two more frozen rum cocktails before I read anymore fundie posts.
There are a bunch of bones in the dirt
Not really. (a) they're usually not actually bones - they're fossils created when mineral laden water seeps into the bones then evaporates, leaving behind the minerals; (b) they're usually embedded deep inside rocks, not found in dirt; (c) they're the fossils of animals vastly different than anything alive today; (d) they're arranged in layers - this was established by creationists long before Darwin; (e) the layers are consistently in the same order in various parts of the world; (f) the fossils and rocks are dated by various radiometric methods, and the order of the dates obtained correlate with the order of the layers.
I guess you had better tell all those forensic pathologists to choose new careers, after all, they're just bones in the dirt, or rotting corpses.
Fingerprint analysts can join them in the unemployment line, because fingerprints are just patterns of skin oil residue.
For that matter, why hire accountants? it's all just numbers arranged in columns on a page.
The pesky problem that keeps coming up in the real world is that things like these, including fossilized remains, have meaning . They carry information about one thing or another.
Fossils, in particular, encode information about life forms that existed on earth in times past, by virtue of their shape, location, and relationship to surrounding geology.
"How do Fossils count as evidence for Evolution."
They don't, they tell time. Oh! You meant fossils, not Fossils. Learn proper capitalization please.
@ Puck - Been watching Neon Genesis Evangelion lately?
His name is "densor".
Poe, perhaps?
Does anyone have a clue bat? Densor really needs to be introduced to one.
Now, now, Prager, I understand how you feel but hitting stupid people with a club won't make them smarter (however satisfying this may feel). Books, on the other hand...

May I suggest using the Encyclopedia Britanica? Ideally a sturdy, heavy, leather-bound hardcover edition. :P
