                    This means that in the fossil record, all living species suddenly
               emerge as fully formed, without any intermediate forms in between.
               This is just the opposite of Darwin's assumptions. Also, this is very
               strong evidence that all living things are created. The only explanation
               of a living species emerging suddenly and complete in every detail
               without any evolutionary ancestor is that it was created. This fact is
               admitted also by the widely known evolutionist biologist Douglas
               Futuyma:
                    Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible explana-
                    tions for the origin of living things. Organisms either appeared on the
                    earth fully developed or they did not. If they did not, they must have
                    developed from pre-existing species by some process of modification. If
                    they did appear in a fully developed state, they must indeed have been
                    created by some omnipotent intelligence. 28
                    Fossils show that living beings emerged fully developed and in
               a perfect state on the Earth. That means that "the origin of species,"
               contrary to Darwin's supposition, is not evolution, but creation.


                    The Tale of Human Evolution

                    The subject most often brought up by advocates of the theory of
               evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The Darwinist claim
               holds that modern man evolved from ape-like creatures. During this
               alleged evolutionary process, which is supposed to have started 4-5
               million years ago, some "transitional forms" between modern man
               and his ancestors are supposed to have existed. According to this
               completely imaginary scenario, four basic "categories" are listed:
                    1. Australopithecus
                    2. Homo habilis
                    3. Homo erectus
                    4. Homo sapiens
                    Evolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like ancestors
               Australopithecus, which means "South African ape." These living
