difficulty for his theory. In one chapter of his book titled "Difficulties
on Theory," he wrote:
Why, if species have descended from other species by insensi-
bly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable

transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion instead
of the species being, as we see them, well defined?… But, as
by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have ex-
isted, why do we not find them embedded in countless num-
bers in the crust of the earth?… Why then is not every geolog-
ical formation and every stratum full of such intermediate
links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely grad-

uated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and
gravest objection which can be urged against my theory. 11

Darwin's Hopes Shattered

However, although evolutionists have been making strenuous
efforts to find fossils since the middle of the nineteenth century all
over the world, no transitional forms have yet been uncovered. All
of the fossils, contrary to the evolutionists' expectations, 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 another. 12

This means that in the fossil record, all living species sudden-
ly emerge as fully formed, without any intermediate forms in be-
tween. This is just the opposite of Darwin's assumptions. Also, this
is very strong evidence that all living things are created. The only
