             they already had. Since these would be in a transitional phase, they
             should be disabled, defective, crippled beings. Evolutionists refer to
             these imaginary creatures, which they believe to have lived in the past,
             as “transitional forms”.
                 If such animals ever really existed, there would be millions and
             even billions of them in number and variety. More importantly, the
             remains of these strange creatures should be present in the fossil
             record. In The Origin of Species, Darwin explained:

                 If my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties, linking most closely all
                 of the species of the same group together must assuredly have existed... Conse-
                 quently, evidence of their former existence could be found only amongst fossil
                 remains... (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, New York: D. Appleton
                 and Company. p. 161)
                                           However, Darwin, having written
                                         these lines, was also well aware of the
                                           fact that no fossils of these interme-
                                            diate forms had yet been found. He
                                           regarded this as a major difficulty
                                           for his theory. That is why, in one
                                           chapter of his book titled “Difficul-
                                           ties on Theory,” he wrote:
                                            Firstly, 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




                                                    Evolutionists generally inter-
                                                    pret fossils in the light of their
                                                    ideological expectations, for
                                                    which reason the conclusions
                                                    they arrive at are for the most
                                                    part unreliable.
