Any creature which
            is suggested as having
            undergone such a transi-
            tion would be disadvan-

            taged both in the sea and
            on land during that process
            and would be eliminated.
            The NAS's claims regarding
            the origin of marine mammals
            and molecular comparisons are
            totally based on speculation, and are

            far from being scientific and rational.

                 Molecular biology offers no evidence to support the theory of
            evolution's claim that all the different living categories on earth de-
            scended from a single common ancestor by means of random muta-
            tions and natural selection. The gradual divergence expected by the
            theory appears nowhere in the fossil record or molecular analyses.
                 Michael Denton makes the following comment based on the
            findings in the field of molecular biology:
                 Each class at a molecular level is unique, isolated and unlinked by
                 intermediates. Thus molecules, like fossils, have failed to provide
                 the elusive intermediates so long sought by evolutionary biology…
                 At molecular level, no organism is "ancestral" or "primitive" or
                 "advanced" compared with its relatives… There is little doubt that
                 if this molecular evidence had been available one century ago… the
                 idea of organic evolution might never have been accepted.  65
