EVIDENCE #1
There are no transitional links and
intermediate forms in either the fossil record or the modern world. Therefore,
there is no actual evidence that evolution has occurred either in the past
or the present.
Absolutely no transitional forms either in the fossil
record or in modern animal and plant life have been found. All appear fully
formed and complete. The fossil record amply supplies us with
representation of almost all species of animals and plants but none of the
supposed links of plant to animal, fish to amphibian, amphibian to reptile,
or reptile to birds and mammals are represented nor any transitional forms
at all. There are essentially the same gaps between all the basic kinds in
the fossil record as exists in plant and animal life today. There are
literally a host of missing links in the fossil record and the modern
world.
- "There is no evidence in the fossil record of one kind of
creature becoming another kind. No transitional links or intermediate
forms between various kinds of creatures have ever been found." For
example, "the evolutionist claims that it took perhaps fifty million years
for a fish to evolve into an amphibian. But, again, there are no
transitional forms. For example, not a single fossil with part fins...part
feet has been found. And this is true between every major plant and animal
kind." ([22], p.19)
- "Nowhere do
we see animals with partially evolved legs, eyes, brains, or various other
tissues, organs, and biological structures." ([22],
p.19-20)
- "If continuous
evolution is a universal law of nature, as the evolutionist claims, then
there should be an abundance of evidences of continuity and transition
between all the kinds of organisms involved in the process, both in the
present world and in the fossil record. Instead we find great gaps between
all the basic kinds, and essentially the same gaps in the fossil record
that exist in the modern world." ([18], p.34)
- There are no links of plant to
animal, fish to amphibian, amphibian to reptile, reptile to birds and
mammals. There are no links whatsoever.
- "All of the present orders,
classes, and phyla appear quite suddenly in the fossil record, without
indications of the evolving lines from which they developed. The same is
largely true even for most families and genera. There are literally an
innumerable host of `missing links' in the record." ([18]
, p.33)
- "There is
simply no evidence of partially evolved animals or plants in the fossil
record to indicate that evolution has occurred in the past, and certainly
no evidence of partially evolved animals and plants existing today to
indicate that evolution is occurring at the present." ([22], p.20)
- "...the
outstanding characteristics of the fossil record is the absence of
evidence for evolution." ([11], p.50)
- If there were links then they would
have been found since the fossil record is "...quite ample to represent
the true state of the ancient world. Most individual species of fossil
plants and animals have been collected in considerable numbers, but the
hypothetical intermediate species have never been represented at all!"
([18], p.33)
- Darwin stated, "Why, if species have descended from other
species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see
innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion instead
of the species being, as we see them, well defined?" ([11], p.46)
- Darwin
admitted that the number of transitional links "must have been
conceivably great." The fact that there are none prompted him to conclude
that this fact is "the most obvious and gravest objection which can be
urged against my theory."
- "The occasional suggested examples of missing
links (such as the famous archaeopteryx - supposedly linking the birds
and reptiles) can usually be recognized on closer study to represent merely
another type of one of the basic kinds it supposedly links (the
archaeopteryx was a true bird, by any reasonable definition, with feathers
and warm blood)." ([18], p.33-34)
- "Even if a creature shared characteristics
belonging to two separate groups, however, this would not necessarily
make it a transitional link as long as each of the characteristics
themselves is complete and not in the process of transition from one type
of structure or function into another type of structure or function."
([22], p.25)
- "Because of the lack of evidence for gradual evolution in the
fossil record, more and more evolutionists are adopting a new theory of
evolution known as macroevolution. The theory of macroevolution teaches
that animals and plants changed suddenly from one kind to another without
going through any gradual or transitional process."
- Other evolutionists
claim that the links are missing only because the changes are so small that
they are not noticed. The problem here is that they are assuming that at
every point in the evolution process the being would appear as complete or
whole. Actually, they would appear as in transition as when a house is
being built.
- "The point to
remember...is that the fossil problem for Darwinism is getting worse all
the time." ([11], p.57)
