for his theory. In one chapter of his book titled "Difficulties on Theory,"
he wrote:
Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly

fine gradations, 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?… But, as by this theory innumerable
transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embed-
ded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?… Why then is not
every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate
links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated or-
ganic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objec-
tion which can be urged against my theory. 101

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 fos-

sils, contrary to the evolutionists' expectations, show that life appeared
on Earth all of a sudden and fully-formed.
One famous British paleontologist, Derek V. Ager, admits this fact,
even though he is an evolutionist:
The point emerges that if we examine the fossil record in detail, whether
at the level of orders or of species, we find – over and over again – not
gradual evolution, but the sudden explosion of one group at the expense
of another. 102
This means that in the fossil record, all living species suddenly
emerge as fully formed, without any intermediate forms in between. This
is just the opposite of Darwin's assumptions. Also, this is very strong evi-
dence that all living things are created. The only explanation of a living

species emerging suddenly and complete in every detail without any
