The fossil of a bird called
Archaeopteryx, that evolu-
tionists tried to portray as an
intermediate species, shows
that evolution is a theory
founded on deceit. This fos-
sil is that of a real bird and
shows that birds have not
changed for millions of
years.

found belong either to a complete reptile, or else to a com-

plete bird. This means that birds did not evolve from reptiles.
Allah created birds, just as He has created all other living
things.
However, since evolutionists don't want to accept this,
they try to convince people that what they say is true by in-
venting stories. They found the fossil of a bird called
Archaeopteryx, which lived approximately 150 million
years ago, and claimed that this bird was a transitional form

between dinosaurs and birds. Yet saying that
Archaeopteryx was the ancestor of birds is completely illog-
ical.
Archaeopteryx was a fully fledged bird!
Because:
1. Archaeopteryx had feathers, just like the birds of our

own time.
2. Archaeopteryx had the same chest-bone, to which its
wings were attached, as other flying birds.
3. Archaeopteryx cannot be the ancestor of all birds,
because fossils of birds that are older than it have been
found.
