Brittlestar

Period: Devonian

Age: 400-380 million years
Region: Germany

The body of the brittlestar is different to that of other starfish. The brittlestar’s thin arms
emerge from a body resembling a small flower, and this differentiates it from other starfish.
One of the fossils proving that, contrary to what evolutionists maintain, gradual evolution
never took place is the 380 to 400-million-year-old brittlestar fossil in the picture. The britt-

lestar was a brittlestar 400 million years ago just as it is today, and it has never undergone
even the slightest change. Norman Macbeth, a well-known evolutionist, admits the invalidity
of the theory of evolution, that has suffered a major defeat in the face of the fossil record:

“Unfortunately, in the field of evolution most explanations are not good. As a matter of fact, they
hardly qualify as explanations at all; they are suggestions, hunches, pipe dreams, hardly worthy of
being called hypotheses.” (Norman Macbeth, Darwin Retried: An Appeal to Reason, Boston: Gambit,

1971, p. 147)
