Imaginary
                 Archaeopteryx                       This fact has been known for a
                        picture                  long time.  Yet evolutionists

                                               speculated on a few fossils, trying to
                                                   present them as "intermediate
                                                      transitional   forms"   and
                                                      comforted themselves saying,
                                                      "only a few intermediate
                                                     forms have been found so far,
                                          but in the future all of them will be
                                  unearthed." The most important fossil presented as
                                 an intermediate form was a 150-million-year-old
              extinct bird fossil called Archaeopteryx. Evolutionists claimed that this
              bird had reptilian traits. Despite the fact that their claims have been
              refuted one by one and that it has been proved that Archaeopteryx was
              not an intermediate transitional form but a flying bird species, they
              desperately embraced this last fossil they had.


                   "Fossil Discovery Threatens
                   Theory of Birds' Evolution"
                   At last, a fossil discovered during recent years, definitely overthrew
              the claims of evolutionists. As quoted from the evolutionist sources, a
              fossil was discovered which revealed that the ancient ancestor of birds
              was not a dinosaur or any other living being but a bird.
                   News about this discovery first appeared in the world media on June
              23, 2000. The New York Times carried the headline "Fossil Discovery
              Threatens Theory of Birds' Evolution." This article was about a bird
              which was recently unearthed in the Middle East. Prominent scientific
              journals such as Science and Nature and the world-renowned TV network
              of the BBC announced the recent developments as follows: "It has been
              discovered that the fossil, which was unearthed in the Middle East and
              estimated to have lived 220 million years ago, is covered with feathers,
              has a wishbone just like Archaeopteryx and modern birds do, and there
              are hollow shafts in its feathers. THIS INVALIDATES THE CLAIMS
