Page 162 - What Darwinists Fail To Consider

That individual kinds of fossils remain recognizably the same, throughout the
length of their occurrence in the fossil record, had been known to paleontologists
long before Darwin published his Origin. Darwin himself . . . prophesied that fu-
ture generations of paleontologists would fill in these gaps by diligent search. . .
. One hundred and twenty years of paleontological research later, it has become
abundantly clear that the fossil record will not confirm this part of Darwin’s pre-
dictions. Nor is the problem a miserably poor record. The fossil record simply
shows that this prediction is wrong. 51

Darwinists never understand that the variety of living plant
species, each with utterly perfect systems, that appeared suddenly in
fossils from the Carboniferous period, 360 million years ago, again
places evolutionists in an insuperable predicament. A wide variety of
fossil plants from this period are little different from plant species liv-
ing today.

In claiming that a fish that emerged from the sea evolved into
a reptile, through an evolutionary process that lasted millions of years,
Darwinists never recognize that a fish cannot survive on dry land for
more than a few minutes before dying.
Darwin himself wondered, “First, why, if species have de-
scended from other species by fine gradations, do we not everywhere
52
see innumerable transitional forms?” But Darwinists never consider
why, some 160 years later, not a single intermediate form has ever been
found.
Darwinists never realize that the inconsistencies set out by
Charles Darwin around 160 years ago in the chapter “Difficulties on
Theory” in his Origin of Species still apply today, and that those incon-

sistencies have even increased with the advances in biology.
Darwinists never realize that no new species can result by way
of natural selection, only fitter members of the same species.
Darwinists never realize that no new species can be produced
