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.
