Page 69 - Once Upon a Time There Was Darwinism

Tom Kemp, curator of the zoological collections of the Oxford
University, wrote a book entitled, Fossils and Evolution in
which he described the situation:

In virtually all cases, a new taxon appears for the first time in
the fossil record with most definitive features already present,
and practically no known stem-group forms. 24
So, the fossil record which was once thought to corrobo-
rate Darwin's theory has become evidence against it. David
Berlinsky, a mathematician from the Princeton University
and an opponent of evolution, sums up the situation:

There are gaps in the fossil graveyard, places where there
should be intermediate forms, but where there is nothing
whatsoever instead. No paleontologist writing in English,
French or German denies that this is so. It is simply a fact.
Darwin's theory and the fossil record are in conflict. 25

One of the most striking examples of this contradiction is
the collapse of Darwin's "tree of life." Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

The most punishing blow that the fossil record dealt

Darwinism was the scenario revealed by the fossils from the
Cambrian period. Darwin imagined that the history of life on
Earth could be represented as a tree starting from one trunk
and slowly, gradually separating into various branches. A di-
agram in The Origin of the Species reflected this view. With the
