Once Upon a Time There Was Darwinism

An 80-mil li on-ye ar-old fossil Ve lo ci rap tor and along si de, its ima gi nary re const ruc ti on.
Ve lo ci rap tor is one of the fos sils put for ward as an al le ged tran si ti onal form in the ta le of how
birds evol ved from di no sa urs. Li ke the ot hers, ho we ver, this is not hing mo re than evo lu ti onists'
bi ased in terp re ta ti on. The fe at hers shown in the dra wing are to tally ima gi nary; in fact, there is

no eviden ce that it had feat hers.

2) But 150 years of work in paleontology has produced
no intermediate forms, and no traces of these creatures have
been discovered. This is a great defeat for the theory.
3) In addition to the fact that no intermediate forms have
been found, the age of those creatures posited as ancestors of
others only on the basis of comparison is also in dispute. A

creature that appears more "primitive" may have appeared in
the fossil record later than a creature that seems more "devel-
oped."
So, at this point, evolutionists were constrained to de-
velop the inconsistent method known as cladistics.
