remains of these strange creatures should be present in the fossil
record. In The Origin of Species, Darwin explained:
If my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties, linking most closely
all of the species of the same group together must assuredly have existed....
Consequently, evidence of their former existence could be found only
amongst fossil remains. 37

Darwin's Hopes Shattered
However, although evolutionists have been making strenuous ef-
forts to find fossils since the middle of the nineteenth century all over
the world, no transitional forms have yet been uncovered. All of the
fossils, contrary to the evolutionists' expectations, show that life ap-
peared on Earth all of a sudden and fully-formed.
One famous British paleontologist, Derek V. Ager, admits this fact,

The theory of evolution claims that living species gradually evolved from one
another. The fossil record, however, explicitly falsifies this claim. For example,
in the Cambrian Period, some 550 million years ago, dozens of totally distinct
living species suddenly emerged. These living beings depicted in the above
picture have very complex structures. This fact, referred to as the "Cambrian
Explosion" in scientific literature, is plain evidence of creation.
