             less model points so clearly to the reality of an incomparable creation, how
             can they believe in this kind of fairy tale?
                 Here, once again, we see the influence of Darwinism's spell. Those who
             believe in evolution are like the bewitched man we described at the outset of
             this book who insisted it was raining even though the sun was out; they de-
             fend an impossible idea—that cells came to be by chance. And, despite the
             fact that they can find no proof for their claims, they don't renounce their be-
             liefs, but continue on in the hopes of finding it. Some scientists and re-
             searchers have even devoted their lives to this pursuit. That they spend their
             best efforts to verify a completely imaginary scenario they have invented is
             nothing more than the effect of the spell they are under.


                 Darwinists Still Refuse to Accept that the Fossil

                 Record Shows No Process of Evolution
                 Evolutionists' biggest problem is to explain how one species evolved
             from another. Mutations and natural selection, they claim, can explain the
             small and gradual changes that living creatures undergo, and that as a re-
             sult of the accumulation of these changes, these creatures develop into other
             species. They believe that some of these small changes can be identified in
             creatures that must have lived in the past, which they call "transitional
             forms."
                 For example, they claim that fish evolved from invertebrate, or bone-
             less sea creatures. In line with this claim, they maintain that an invertebrate
             such as the starfish gradually acquired fins and a backbone and underwent
             a great number of changes.
                 If such were the case, there must have been many transitional forms
             showing the gradual evolution between these two different groups. That is
             to say, there should have been several species with the characteristics of
             both fish and invertebrates. And if such creatures had really existed, why
             have we never found a single fossil belonging to them? So far, however,
             countless fossils have been unearthed, and many species have been discov-
