been a process of evolution on Earth. On the con-
trary, however, all fossils reveal a natural history com-
pletely at odds with Darwin's theory: Species did not come
into existence by stages through any process of evolution, but

were created in all their perfection in one instant.
3. They think that the celebrated Archaeopteryx fossil proves
their thesis that birds evolved from reptiles. But it is now known
that Archaeopteryx was a true bird, capable of flight, and no reptile
ancestor has ever been found. Not a single piece of evidence re-
mains to support the evolutionists' claim that birds evolved from
reptiles.
4. For years, "the evolution of the horse" was portrayed as one
of the best documented proofs of the theory of evolution. Four-

legged mammals that had lived in different periods were set out in
order of size, from small to large, and this "horse series" was exhib-
ited in museums of natural history. Research in recent years, how-
ever, has shown that the creatures in the sequence are not one
another's ancestors, that the sequencing is seriously flawed, and
that creatures depicted as the ancestor of the horse actually
emerged after it.
5. They believe that England's famous Industrial Revolution
moths offer a proof of evolution by natural selection. However, the
color change that occurred in moths during the Industrial
Revolution has been proven not to be the result of natural selec-

tion. These butterflies did not change color; it was only that
there were more pale moths at first but environmental con-
ditions diminished their numbers, while the number of
dark-colored moths increased. After this claim
was realized to be a scientific fraud, evolu-
