1. How do you explain the lack of transitional forms in nature, the gaps in the fossil record?

There are gaps in the fossil record due to geological processes as well as the rarity of fossilization (not to mention the fact that we have uncovered only a small fraction of the world's fossils).
*However* There are many good sequences of fossils and many individual fossils which display traits of two different groups. I have a good list here:
