Archaeopteryx,
which evolutionists for years
attempted to portray as supposed
evidence for birds being descended

from reptiles, is but one example of how
they have tried to mislead people.
Archaeopteryx is a fossil bird dating back
150 million years. It has been claimed that

this bird has a number of reptilian characte-
ristics, and that it therefore represents a
“missing link” between birds and reptiles.
However, scientific findings showing

that Archaeopteryx was a comple-
