| The
theory of evolution holds that living beings
differentiated from each other over a very long period
of time with linked, gradual modifications. If this
theory were true, then numerous "intermediary
species" should have lived in history linking
different living species. For instance, if birds had
indeed evolved from reptiles, then billions of
half-bird/half-reptiles should have lived in history.
Darwin knew that the fossil record ought to be full of
these "intermediate transitory forms". Yet he
was also well aware that no transitional form fossils
were available. That was why he asked these troubled
questions in his book The Origin of Species:
"…Why, if species have descended from other
species by fine gradations, do we not everywhere see
innumerable transitional forms? But, as by this theory
innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do
we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the
crust of the earth?... |
"
Despite their best efforts, evolutionists have not been
able to find even a single intermediate form in the 140
years that have passed since Darwin. The well-known
evolutionist Ager admits this: "The point emerges
that if we examine the fossil record in detail, we
find–over and over again–not gradual evolution, but
the sudden explosion of one group at the expense of
another." The sudden origination of living beings
on the earth is proof that they were created.
