                       The Fossil Record: No Sign of
                       Intermediate Forms
                       The clearest evidence that the scenario
                   suggested by the theory of evolution did
                   not take place is the fossil record.
                       According to the unscientific supposi-
                   tion of this theory, every living species has  Graeophonus:

                   else over time and all species have come
                   into being in this way. In other words, this
                   transformation proceeds gradually over
                   millions of years.
                       Had this been the case, numerous
                   intermediary species should have existed
                   and lived within this long transformation
                   period.

                   there should have existed some reptile-

                   addition to the reptilian traits they already
                   had. Since these would be in a transition-
