ficulty for his theory. In one chapter of his book titled "Difficulties
on Theory," he wrote:

Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine
gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional
forms? Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the species
being, as we see them, well defined?… But, as by this theory in-
numerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not
find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the
earth?… Why then is not every geological formation and every
stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does
not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, per-
haps, is the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged
against my theory. 28

Darwin's Hopes Shattered
However, although evolutionists have been making strenuous
efforts to find fossils since the middle of the nineteenth century all
over the world, no transitional forms have yet been uncovered. 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. 29
This means that in the fossil record, all living species suddenly
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 explana-
tion of a living species emerging suddenly and complete in every
detail without any evolutionary ancestor is that it was created. This
