From my understanding we dont have record of anything for the first two billion years (plate tectonics). I guess the way I see it is, I dont need to see something to know that it exist. Again Im sorry but the facts you are getting are from a religous website. You cant mix science with religon.

The evidence for evolution has primarily come from four sources:
1. the fossil record of change in earlier species
2. the chemical and anatomical similarities of related life forms
3. the geographic distribution of related species
4. the recorded genetic changes in living organisms over many generations
