If we can exclude extra terrestrial intervention, and independent occurrence of similar species as in monkeys, apes and humans, then is not evolution a simple YES / NO question?

Oh come on . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .In post #19, Ken said "Rod - amoeba and humans are products of evolution from a common ancestor, not humans evolving from amoeba. Both are products of long evolution and interactions with other life as well as the physical environment."
Okay, post #19 has some meat to chew on. My question is simple. If amoeba and humans descended from the same *common ancestor*, where is the fossil of this common ancestor? Consider that amoebas are still amoebas today.
No-one expects to find fossils of that common ancestor - such fossils may not exist or be discoverable even if they do. As the quote goes "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"; most species that have existed have not left identifiable fossil evidence and failure to find those fossils does not mean they never existed.In post #19, Ken said "Rod - amoeba and humans are products of evolution from a common ancestor, not humans evolving from amoeba.
