is no trace of any half reptile-half bird, half fish-half reptile or
half ape-half human creatures. The 250 million fossils
unearthed to date prove that evolution never happened, that
living things are not descended from a common ancestor and
that species do not turn into one another. The fact revealed by
the fossil record is that all species are created with all the
characteristics they possess and never change for so long as
they survive.
- Proteins, which are the building blocks of living beings,
cannot develop by coincidence. The probability of the chance
formation of a protein with 500 amino acids is one in 10 to the
power of 950. In short, such a possibility, which is incompre-
hensible to the human mind, has “0” probability of realization.

104. How does the theory of evolution explain
the sudden emergence of life on earth?
The theory of evolution cannot offer any explanation for
the emergence of life on earth.
When terrestrial strata and the fossil record are exam-
ined, it is seen that living organisms appeared suddenly. The
oldest stratum of the earth in which fossils of living creatures
have been found is that of the “Cambrian,” which has an esti-
mated age of 520-530 million years.
The fossils found in the Cambrian rocks belonged to var-
ious complex invertebrate species. Most interestingly, this
wide mosaic of living creatures emerged all of a sudden with-
out any pre-existing ancestors. This is why this miraculous
event is referred to as the “Cambrian Explosion” in geological
literature.
