species being, as we see them, well defined?… But, as by this
theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why
do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the
crust of the earth?… Why then is not every geological forma-
tion and every stratum full of such intermediate links?
Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated or-
ganic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest
objection which can be urged against my theory. 48

Darwin's Hopes Shattered

However, although evolutionists have been making strenu-
ous efforts to find fossils since the middle of the nineteenth cen-
tury all over the world, no transitional forms have yet been un-
covered. All of the fossils, contrary to the evolutionists' expecta-
tions, 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. 49
This means that in the fossil record, all living species sud-
denly emerge as fully formed, without any intermediate forms
in between. This is just the opposite of Darwin's assumptions.
Also, this is very strong evidence that all living things are crea-
ted. The only explanation of a living species emerging suddenly
and complete in every detail without any evolutionary ancestor
is that it was created. This fact is admitted also by the widely
known evolutionist biologist Douglas Futuyma:
