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
