There is no single fossil showing that
species developed gradually. An examina-
tion of the layers of the Earth’s crust and
the fossil record reveals that life came into
being on Earth suddenly.

FALSE

However, DDarwin, having written these lines,
was also well aware of the fact that no fossils of these
intermediate forms had yet been found. He regard-
ed this as a major difficulty for his theory. That is
why, in one chapter of his book titled “Difficulties on
Theory,” he wrote:
Firstly, why, if species have descended from other species by
insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innu-
merable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in con-
fusion instead of the species being, as we see them, well de-
fined?…. 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?… (Charles
Darwin, The Origin of Species, New York: D. Appleton
and Company. p.154, 155)
Why then is not every geological formation and every
stratum full of such intermediate links? (Charles
Darwin, The Origin of Species, New York: D. Appleton
and Company. p. 246)
