The theory of evolution is not a truth backed up by scientific evidence, but a superstitious beli-
ef adopted in the absence of any evidence at all. Evolutionists fabricate brand new scenarios for

the sake of imposing the theory on others, and use the media to try and convince people that
these scenarios are true. However the scientific evidence demolishes these carefully invested
evolutionist scenarios on every occasion because these claims are all false and imaginary. For
example, evolutionists made the most outrageous claims on the basis of coelacanth fossils. But
then an unexpected event literally stunned evolutionists.

In 1938, a living member of the species Latimeria from the coelacanth family, described as “a
transitional form that became extinct 70 million years in the past,” was caught in the open wa-
ters of the Indian Ocean. This event nicely served to expose the evolutionist fraud. The coela-
canth fossil in the picture, which dates back 290 to 249 million years, has not changed in the le-
ast since the day the animal was first created. In addition, between 1952 and 1953, more than 200

other living coelacanths were caught in other regions, particularly in the Comorra Islands. In
this way, the scenario of the coelacanth, which evolutionists had sought to depict as an inter-
mediate form, was consigned to the waste basket.
