     THE MIRACLE OF HORMONES
                  The larger picture belongs to a 100-million-year-old Nautilus fossil. On the left
                        is a Nautilus living in our day. When we compare the fossil with today's
                   Nautilus (on the right is the cross section of the creature's shell), we see that
                                         they both have the same identical characteristics.
                   The point emerges that if we examine the fossil record in detail,
                   whether at the level of orders or of species, we find – over and over
                   again – not gradual evolution, but the sudden explosion of one
                   group at the expense of another. 92
                   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:
