Evolutionists claim, for example, that starfish developed over millions of years and
turned into fish. According to this claim, there should be many "transitional forms" to
be found between starfish and fish. But no fossil of such a transitional form has yet
been found. There are starfish and there are fish in the fossil record, but there is no
transitional form made up of strange-looking combinations of both.
sembled a starfish. This means that one day, due to muta-
tion, a starfish lost one of its arms. Over the next millions of
years it lost more of its arms, except for some that started de-
veloping into fins of their own accord. Meanwhile, and si-
multaneously, all the other changes that are necessary for a
starfish to turn into a fish took place. (Nothing like this could
ever have happened, of course, but we are just reminding
ourselves of what evolutionists would have us believe!)
According to evolutionists, the starfish had to go through
many phases to turn into a fish.
So, these imaginary creatures in their transformational
stages are called intermediate species in the process of so-
called evolution. Again, according to the illogical claims of
evolutionists, all of them must have some vestigial or not yet
fully formed body parts. For example, the intermediate
species which allegedly formed while fish were turning into
reptiles must have "half-grown" feet, fins, lungs and gills.
We must remember that if such strange creatures had actu-
ally lived in the past, we would certainly have found fossil re-
mains of them. It is interesting that so far not one fossil has
