There is no such thing as a fossil record, there are a bunch of bones of dead things in the dirt. You also don't know that the bones you find in dirt produced any offspring.
How can fossils count as evidence for for Evolution?

They do not count as evidence. Unless of course you want to alter the bones to fit your specific "beast". If evolution were true, then why is there no evidence of it now? Why are there no creatures that are in between two other creatures now? Like a frog turning into a cat? If it were true, then you would see some form of it now.
Evolutionists. Do not point out the black MOTH that turned white and then back to black. This is not evolution. It is a MOTH going through adaptation. Not changing from a moth to an eagle or whatever.
And No matter how much science tries to combine two species, you cannot mix them. Not even in a laboratory. Why haven't they created a 1/2 dog and 1/2 cat? Or better yet 1/2 mouse and 1/2 elephant. so the result can hate and be scared of itself! LOL
Evolution is ridiculous. It is good to see that you are curious about what you are being taught, but sad to see you take it in the wrong direction.

The fossils are dated, by accurate methods that determine the age, (much like how someone dates a tree by counting the rings) Also in the age of the rocks, the geological age is also counted. As for the dinosaurs, the science shows us that dinosaurs (from their fossils) were around for 150 million years. Then 65 million years ago, they all died when an asteroid slamed into earth.
Earth's sediment layers also reads like a ring in a tree. When the asteroid crashed, it left behind something called Iridium. It is found in a specific layer of sediment all over the world, right at the time when the asteroid crashed. The importance is that Iridium is not found on the earth, it comes from space.
Not take it a next step, in all those fossils of dinosaurs and the trilobites (a species that lived before the dinosaurs for 300 million years) do you ever see a human fossil? No. Humans are very new to the scene. Science isn't anything to be scared of, it just reveals the mysteries of the universe and the awesome power of evolution though natural selection.

Of course not. If they did, there would be no such thing as a "missing link". If Darwin was right, there would be many more fossils in a transition state than actual species as we know them.
If the number behind your name indicates your age, you should be complimented for showing an interest in science and you should be encouraged to look deeper into science and study both sides of the story. Many high school textbooks still hang on to old theories which the field of Biochemistry has shown to be outdated and totally false. Hang in there and keep studying. Good luck.

FOSSILS - "The Creationist's Best Friend" (i.e. the fossil record) shows mass death and burial of former life around the world. A dead fish today doesn't sink - it floats. And if a human body is exhumed from 6 feet under it already shows signs of decay, not superb preservation. How deeply would you have to quickly bury organic material in order to preserve its structure? Just what process buried all of the well-preserved fossils that we find in the sedimentary layers?
Tree trunks regularly traverse multiple sedimentary and volcanic layers. Evolutionary dating methods are inconsistent often showing deeper layers to be much "younger" and vice versa. The post-flood world is but a remnant of the life that was. The observed "Cambrian Explosion" was actually within the 6 days of creation; life started suddenly (well, not suddenly … over the course of 6 days). Life flourished on the continents, the oceans (before the Flood) were less saline allowing for more abundant life, and there is evidence that many creatures had longer lifespans; humans could live for over 900 years (per Genesis) and dinosaurs and insects grew to be huge. The pre-Flood world must have been magnificent to behold. But due to sin (violence filled the Earth) it was destroyed. The evidence of Earth life's one time massive destruction in the Great Flood lies beneath your feet right now; we call this the fossil record. Massive tidal waves washed over the continents and buried former life en masse.
Every few years evolutionists prop up and advertise a few new fossils and fool many into thinking that their theory finally has scientific substance. They neglect or purposefully hide their frauds and wishful finds of the past, which used to be the new fossils of past times. There are no transitional fossils that have withstood the test of time and true (non-media-hyped) scientific scrutiny. Their track record is to stand *against* what we see in the fossil record ... and that is the mass burial of the former world in the Great Flood of 4,400 years ago.

As for true knowledge, I think that it is more reasonable to believe the Writers of the Holy Books than the observers of fossils.
All the Writers of the the Holy Books are known for Their Purity, Love and Wisdom through centuries.
Not only in explaining the natural phenomena, but in all aspects of human life, I think that it is right to trust people who possess these three divine qualities. The observers of fossils are not known for their love, purity and wisdom. The revolutionists are men like me and you and other fallible men, how can I trust their knowledge?

Through fossils we can see how organisms gradually changed and adapted to become different organisms.
We don't know if they produced offspring? Perhaps you can say that you don't know that an individual organisms reproduced, but many of them likely did. Living creatures do tend to have sex and reproduce.

Even Mormon scientists believe in the fossil record. Are you as ignorant about your religion as you are about science?
P.S. My cat Fat Bastard gave your question a star not me.

So are all american schools this bad?
Look, there are introductory textbooks about evolution and even biology in general. And why don't you ask in the BIOLOGY section? This has nothing to do with your religion.

So I guess you neither believe in the science behind shows like CSI neither
