88               CONFESSIONS OF THE EVOLUTIONISTS




                   J. R. Norman is in the Department of Zoology at the British

              Museum of Natural History:
                   The geological record has so far provided no evidence as to the origin of
                   the fishes. 224

                   Gordon Rattray Taylor is an evolutionist author and chief science
              advisor for the BBC:
                   ... there are no intermediate forms between finned and limbed creatures
                   in the fossil collections of the world. 225
                   Dr. F. D. Ommaney is an English scientist of the 1930s:
                   How this earliest chordate stock evolved, what stages of development it
                   went through to eventually give rise to truly fish-like creatures, we do not
                   know. Between the Cambrian, when it probably originated, and the
                   Ordovician, when the first fossils of animals with really fish-like charac-
                   teristics appeared, there is a gap of perhaps 100 million years, which we
                   will probably never be able to fill. 226
