ties throughout long periods of time has all the qualities of the emperor's
new clothes: everyone knew it but preferred to ignore it. Paleontologists,
faced with a recalcitrant record obstinately refusing to yield Darwin's pre-
dicted pattern, simply looked the other way. 210
Lewis L. Carroll is an evolutionist paleontologist and author of
Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution:
Unfortunately, not a single specimen of an appropriate reptilian ancestor
is known prior to the appearance of true reptiles. The absence of such an-
cestral forms leaves many problems of the amphibian-reptilian transition
unanswered. 211
Edwin H. Colbert is an authority on paleontology and curator at
the American Museum of Natural History and M. Morales is the author
of Evolution of the Vertebrates:
The ichthyosaurs, in many respects the most highly specialized of the ma-
rine reptiles, appeared in early Triassic times. Their advent into the geo-
logic history of the reptiles was sudden and dramatic; there are no clues
in pre-Triassic sediments as to the possible ancestors of the
ichthyosaurs.... The basic problem of ichthyosaur relationships is that no
conclusive evidence can be found for linking these reptiles with any oth-
er reptilian order. 212

Evolutionists' Confessions Stating That They Interpret
Fossils in a Biased Manner
Richard Leakey and Roger Lewin explain in the People of the Lake
which they have co-authored that:

Since the fossil findings were highly insufficient the way was open for dif-
ferent interpretations to be made. Another element making the matter
even more difficult, they went on, is the existence of a certain amount of
difference in appearance in every animal species, and said that other peo-
ple around us represent a living example of this. According to Leakey and
Lewin, if such variables in extinct species were great, then the differences
in the bones they have left behind might mislead scientists into thinking
that they were dealing with several different species rather than only one.
For that reason, if we were to ask six researchers to classify the fossils as
