Reptiles

The theory of evolution is also unable to
account for the origin of reptiles. The members

of this specific class have appeared distinctly
without undergoing any evolutionary process. The
physiological features of reptiles are widely different
from those of their alleged ancestors, the amphibians.

inosaurs, lizards, turtles and crocodiles… All of these species belong to
the living class called "reptiles". Some reptiles, such as dinosaurs, are
D extinct but some are still alive.
Reptiles have particular features, such as their bodies being covered by plate-like structures
called "scales". They are cold-blooded, which means that they cannot generate their own body
heat. That is why they need direct sunlight to warm up their bodies. They give birth to their
young by laying eggs.
Evolutionists cannot explain how reptiles came into being. The conventional evolutionist
allegation on this issue is that reptiles evolved from amphibians. However, there is not a single
scrap of evidence to prove this. On the contrary, an examination of amphibians and reptiles
demonstrates that there are very great physiological differences between these two living groups
and that a half-reptile/half-amphibian has no chances of survival.
Accordingly, such a creature does not exist in the fossil record. Renowned evolutionist
paleontologist, Lewis L. Carroll, admits this fact in his article titled "The Problem of the Origin
of Reptiles":
Unfortunately not a single specimen of an appropriate reptilian ancestor is known prior to the
appearance of true reptiles. The absence of such ancestral forms leaves many problems of the
amphibian-reptilian transition unanswered. 31

THE SEYMOURIA MISCONCEPTION
Evolutionists at one time claimed that the
Seymouria fossil (left) was a transitional form
between amphibians and reptiles.
According to this scenario, Seymouria
was "the primitive ancestor of
reptiles." However, subsequent fossil
discoveries showed that reptiles
were living on Earth some 30
million years before Seymouria. 32 In
the light of this, evolutionists had to
relinquish their claims regarding
Seymouria.
