The Dark Spell of Darwinism




                  My attempts to demonstrate evolution by an experiment carried on for more
                  than 40 years have completely failed. . . . The fossil material is now so com-
                  plete that it has been possible to construct new classes, and the lack of tran-
                  sitional series cannot be explained as being due to the scarcity of material.
                  The deficiencies are real, they will never be filled. 26
                  Despite the very extensive fossil record, Glasgow University paleon-
             tologist, Prof. T. Neville George, admits that the transitional forms that
             evolutionists have been seeking have not yet been found:

                  There is no need to apologize any longer for the poverty of the fossil record.
                  In some ways it has become almost unmanageably rich, and discovery is out-
                  pacing integration… The fossil record nevertheless continues to be com-
                  posed mainly of gaps. 27
                  Although some evolutionists realize that intermediate forms have never
             been discovered at any period, still they refuse to abandon their theory.
             Instead, they resort to various methods of falsification. Taking great care not
             to break the Darwinist spell, they produce bogus proofs by extrapolating
             from existing fossils and making opinionated interpretations of them.



                  Some Evolutionists even Believe that a Bird Can
                  Hatch from a Reptile's Egg
                  The fossil record has definitively shown that evolution never took
             place. But this hasn't interrupted the zeal of evolutionists, some of whom
             continue to imagine the existence of transitional forms as a way out.
             Others try to defend evolution with highly improbable explanations.
                  One of the evolutionists' strangest claims was their theory of the
             "hopeful monster." Because no transitional forms have been discovered,
             evolutionists have been under increasing pressure and some claimed that
             there is no need for transitional forms, because the changes happened not
             in gradual stages, but all at once.
                  In the 1930's, an evolutionist scientist by the name of Otto
             Schindewolf claimed that the first bird hatched from a reptile egg. This, he
             thought, explained the transition of reptiles into birds. According to his ir-
