So, what are these events that they claim caused
the reptile to change into another creature?
Evolutionists believe that evolution takes place as a
result of two separate events that occur simultane-

This, actually, is an illogical belief and one which has
no scientific basis.
What Is Natural Selection?
The simplest explanation of natural selection is
that the fittest creatures survive, while the weak dis-
appear. Let’s explain this with an example: Think of a
herd of deer, which are often attacked by wild ani-
mals. When that happens, the deer will start to run
fast, and only the fastest running and most agile
deer will survive. Gradually, weak and slow deer will
completely disappear, as the predators hunt them
down. There will only be healthy and strong deer left.
Therefore, after some time, the herd will only consist
of fit deer.
What we have said so far is quite correct, but
these things have nothing to do with evolution. In
spite of this, evolutionists believe that such a herd of
deer could gradually develop into another kind of an-
imal, giraffes for example. You can see how wrong
they are! No matter how fast a deer runs, or how far
