                 in confusion instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?…. But,
                 as by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we
                 not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?…
                 (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, New York: D. Appleton and Com-
                 pany. p.154, 155)
                 Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such in-
                 termediate links? (Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, New York: D. Ap-
                 pleton and Company. p. 246)


                 DARWIN’S SHATTERED HOPES
                 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
             the fossils, contrary to the evolutionists’ expectations, show that life
             appeared on Earth all of a sudden and fully-formed.
                 Renowned 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 evolu-
                 tion, but the sudden explosion of one group at the expense of another. (Derek
                 V. Ager, “The Nature of the Fossil Record,” Proceedings of the British Geo-
                 logical Association, vol. 87, 1976, p. 133.)
                 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. Furthermore, this
             is very strong evidence that all living things are created. The only ex-
             planation of a living species emerging instantaneously and completely
             in every detail without any evolutionary ancestor is that it was cre-
             ated. This fact is admitted also by the widely-known evolutionist bi-
             ologist Douglas Futuyma:
