defined?… But, as by this theory innumerable transi-
tional 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 geological formation and
every stratum full of such intermediate links? 11
Darwin's Hopes Shattered
However, although evolutionists have been making strenu-
ous efforts to find fossils since the middle of the nineteenth cen-
tury all over the world, no transitional forms have yet been
uncovered. All of the fossils, contrary to the evolutionists' ex-
pectations, show that life appeared on Earth all of a sudden
and fully-formed.
One famous British paleontologist, Derek V. Ager, admits
this fact, even though he is an evolutionist:
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 anoth-
er. 12
This means that in the fossil record, all living species sud-
denly emerge as fully formed, without any intermediate
forms in between. This is just the opposite of Darwin's as-
sumptions. 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 admit-
ted also by the widely known evolutionist biologist Douglas
Futuyma:
