Dentex

Period: Eocene

Age: 50 million years

Region: Monte Bolca, Italy

The head structure, the short fins on the body, the tail divided in two parts and the small fins beneath
the body can all be clearly seen in this 50-million-year-old dentex fossil from the Eocene period.

With all their details, fossils preserved in stone totally discredit all evolutionary scenarios. Allah has
preserved the fossil remains of things that lived millions of years ago in stone, literally like pho-
tographs. The scientific world has thus been able to observe that life forms have never changed in the
slightest and that they never evolved. Darwin admitted in the chapter “Difficulties on Theory” in his
book The Origin of Species that this represented a major dilemma for his theory:

“... 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?… 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?… Why then is not every geo-
logical formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any
such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objection which can

be urged against my theory.” (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, pp. 172, 280)
