76 CONFESSIONS OF THE EVOLUTIONISTS

In other words, no traces of half-fish, half-amphibian, or half-reptile,

half-bird-much less any half-ape, half-human creature have ever been en-
countered in any of the Earth's strata. All the fossils discovered represent
perfect forms of life and have been identical to present day species or else
they belong to species which lived in the past but subsequently became
extinct. It has emerged that the fossils that are the subject of such specu-

lation and that Darwinists declare to be intermediate forms actually be-
long to perfect life forms. All the propaganda about intermediate forms is
therefore a deception.
What follows is a selection of evolutionist admissions on this, one of
the most serious dilemmas confronting the theory of evolution:
Charles Darwin:

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? 175

But in the intermediate region, having intermediate conditions of life,
why do we not now find closely-linking intermediate varieties? This dif-
ficulty for a long time quite confounded me. 176
First, why, if species have descended from other species by fine grada-
tions, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is
not all nature in confusion, instead of the species being, as we see them,
well defined? 177
But just in proportion as this process of extermination has acted on an
enormous scale, so must the number of intermediate varieties, which
have formerly existed, be truly enormous. Why, then, is not every geo-
logical formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links?
Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic
chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and serious objection which
can be urged against my theory. 178
From these several considerations, it cannot be doubted that the geologi-
cal record... becomes much more difficult to understand why we do not
therein find closely graduated varieties between the allied species which
lived at its commencement and at its close. 179
