DARWINISM REFUTED
There was no "evolutionary" process in the origin
of frogs. The oldest known frogs were completely
different from fish, and emerged with all their
own peculiar features. Frogs in our time possess
the same features. There is no difference between
the frog found preserved in amber in the
Dominican Republic and specimens living today.
Conventional stories about evolution, about 'missing links', are not in
themselves testable, because there is only one possible course of events —
the one implied by the story. If your story is about how a group of fishes
crawled onto land and evolved legs, you are forced to see this as a once-only
event, because that's the way the story goes. You can either subscribe to the
story or not — there are no alternatives. 82
The impasse does not only come from the alleged mechanisms of
evolution, but also from the fossil record or the study of living tetrapods.
Robert Carroll has to admit that "neither the fossil record nor study of
development in modern genera yet provides a complete picture of how
the paired limbs in tetrapods evolved…" 83
The beings claimed to represent the transition from fish to tetrapods
have been several fish and amphibian genera, none of which bears
transitional form characteristics.
Evolutionist natural historians traditionally refer to coelacanths (and
the closely-related, extinct Rhipidistians) as the most probably ancestors of
quadrupeds. These fish come under the Crossopterygian subclass.
