"MOSAIC" ORGANISMS ARE NOT INTERMEDIATE FORMS
The most important example of evolutionists' alleged intermediate forms is a fossil
bird called Archaeopteryx. Focusing on the teeth and claws of Archaeopteryx,
evolutionists allege that this creature is an intermediate form between reptiles
and birds.
However, an animal class may well possess features of another
animal class, without this being an indication that it is a
transitional form. For instance, the Australian platypus
reproduces by laying eggs like reptiles despite being a
mammal. Besides, it has a beak similar to a bird's.
Scientists call organisms like platypus "mosaic
forms". Leading evolutionists now also admit
that mosaic forms cannot be considered as
intermediate forms.
The sudden origination of living beings on the Earth is proof that they were created by God.
Evolutionist biologist Douglas Futuyma admits this fact:
Organisms either appeared on the earth fully developed or they did not. If they did not, they must
have developed from preexisting species by some process of modification. If they did appear in a
fully developed state, they must indeed have been created by some omnipotent intelligence. 21
SIMILAR CREATURES ARE NOT
INTERMEDIATE FORMS
The fact that similar animals in different sizes
have been found throughout the ages is not evidence for
there being "intermediate forms". If the different deer
and gazelle species we see in the picture had been
available only as fossil forms, evolutionists might well
have made an imaginary evolutionary scheme by
arranging them in a line progressing from the smallest to
the biggest. Yet, these animals are not intermediate forms,
but individual living species.
INTERMEDIATE FORMS MUST BE "HALF" ORGANISMS
The intermediate forms evolutionists have to find are
organisms that are in between two species and that have
missing and half developed organs. For instance, if
invertebrates like starfish had evolved into fish as
evolutionists claim, many "half fish" and "half starfish"
organisms ought to have lived. In the fossil record,
IMAGINARY CREATURES however, there are only perfect starfish and perfect fish.
The imaginary transitional forms existing in the fantasy of
evolutionists ought to have missing and defective
organs. For instance, a creature in
between birds and reptiles would
have half wings and half
avian lungs. However, no
fossil of such a creature
has yet been found, as it
is not possible for such a
"weird" creature as we
see in the picture to
survive. All fossils that are
discovered belong to
complete and perfectly
designed creatures.
