such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such
finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious
and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory. 24

However, although evolutionists have been making strenu-
ous efforts to find fossils since the middle of the nineteenth centu-
ry all over the world, no transitional forms have yet been uncov-
ered. All of the fossils, contrary to the evolutionists' expectations,
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. 25
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 created. The
only explanation of a living species emerging suddenly and com-
plete in every detail without any evolutionary ancestor is that it
was created. This fact is admitted also by the widely known evolu-
tionist biologist Douglas Futuyma:
Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible expla-
nations for the origin of living things. Organisms either appeared on
the earth fully developed or they did not. If they did not, they must
have developed from pre-existing species by some process of modi-
fication. If they did appear in a fully developed state, they must in-
deed have been created by some omnipotent intelligence. 26
