                                                      The fossil of a bird
                                                      called Archaeopteryx,
                                                      that evolutionists tried
                                                      to portray as an inter-
                                                      mediate species,
                                                      shows that evolution
                                                      is a theory founded on
                                                      deceit. This fossil is
                                                      that of a real bird and
                                                      shows that birds have
                                                      not changed for mil-
                                                      lions of years.



             Earth. Those fossils that are found belong either to a complete rep-
             tile, or else to a complete bird. This means that birds did not
             evolve from reptiles. Allah created birds, just as He has created all
             other living things.

                   However, since evolutionists don't want to accept this, they
             try to convince people that what they say is true by inventing sto-
             ries. They found the fossil of a bird called Archaeopteryx, which
             lived approximately 150 million years ago, and claimed that this
             bird was a transitional form between dinosaurs and birds. Yet say-
             ing that Archaeopteryx was the ancestor of birds is completely il-
             logical.
                  Archaeopteryx was a fully fledged bird!
                  Because:
                  1. Archaeopteryx had feathers, just like the birds of our own
             time.
                  2. Archaeopteryx had the same chest-bone, to which its wings
             were attached, as other flying birds.
                  3. Archaeopteryx cannot be the ancestor of all birds, because
             fossils of birds that are older than it have been found.
