G Geological Succession
According to the National Academy of Sciences, living species
are ranged in the fossil record from the simplest to the most complex.
In other words, those living species with the simplest forms are found
in the lowest strata, and this complexity increases until the appear-
ance of man. This is a Darwinist expectation and the dream of which
evolutionists hope to find proof in the fossil record.
It first needs to be made clear that living species in the Earth's
strata do not follow a progression from the simple to the complex. For
instance, the trilobites, which lived in the Cambrian Period when the
first animal phyla appear, possessed a rather complex eye structure.
A trilobite eye consists of hundreds of tiny facets, each of which con-
tains two lens layers. This eye structure is a marvel of design. David
Raup, a professor of geology at Harvard, Rochester, and Chicago uni-
versities, says that, "the trilobites 450 million years ago used an opti-
mal design which would require a well trained and imaginative
Trilobites lived during the Cambrian
Period and possessed an exceedingly
complex eye structure.
