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-
