What does the fossil record show about how life has changed on earth?

The fossil record generally shows a, discontinuous gradual progression of complexity and size that is intelligent designed to bioform the Earth from its hostile primordial beginning to a maximally habitable planet for all the organisms that presently live.

The fossil record refutes the evolutionary paradigm that is presently declared because radiation events first produce an array of organisms that alter the surface of the planet and atmosphere, then there is a period of stasis for the living specimens until they have finished their role in transforming the Earth, followed by an extinction event that clears much of the surface, preparing it for the next radiation cycle. This has happened an estimate of 12 times, eventually leading to the present reality.

Of principle consideration is that these cycles were designed to bioform the Earth, not the result of purposeless, undirected evolutionary eras. This is most evident due to the lack of gradual transitions of organisms, the rapid emergence of whole scales of organisms, e.g., Avalon, Cambrian, that the lack of evidence of transitional species that gradualistic evolution demands.

Further, there is no logical reason for the emergence of larger, more complex and unique organisms throughout the history of life if only undirected, purposeless processes dominate.
