TALE OF TRANSITION FROM WATER TO LAND


              volutionists assume that the sea invertebrates that appear in the Cambrian stratum
          E somehow evolved into fish in tens of million years. However, just as Cambrian
          invertebrates have no ancestors, there are no transitional links indicating that an evolu-
          tion occurred between these invertebrates and fish. It should be noted that invertebrates
          and fish have enormous structural differences. Invertebrates have their hard tissues out-
          side their bodies, whereas fish are vertebrates that have theirs on the inside. Such an
          enormous "evolution" would have taken billions of steps to be completed and there
          should be billions of transitional forms displaying them.
             Evolutionists have been digging fossil strata for about 140 years looking for these
          hypothetical forms. They have found millions of invertebrate fossils and millions of fish
          fossils; yet nobody has ever found even one that is midway between them.
             An evolutionist paleontologist, Gerald T. Todd admits this fact in an article titled
          "Evolution of the Lung and the Origin of Bony Fishes":
             All three subdivisions of the bony fishes first appear in the fossil record at approxi-
             mately the same time. They are already widely divergent morphologically, and they
             are heavily armoured. How did they originate? What allowed them to diverge so
             widely? How did they all come to have heavy armour? And why is there no trace of
             earlier, intermediate forms? 24
             The evolutionary scenario goes one step further and argues that fish, who evolved
          from invertebrates then transformed into amphibians. But this scenario also lacks evi-
          dence. There is not even a single fossil verifying that a half-fish/half-amphibian creature
          has ever existed. This fact is confirmed by  a well-known evolutionist authority, Robert
          L. Carroll, who is the author of Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution, though reluc-
          tantly as:  "We have no intermediate fossils between rhipidistian fish (his favourite
          'ancestors' of tetrapods) and early amphibians." 25  Two evolutionist paleontologists,
          Colbert and Morales, comment on the three basic classes of amphibians–frogs, salaman-













          410-million-year-old Coelacanth fossil. Evolutionists claimed that it was the transitional form repre-
          senting the transition from water to land. Living examples of this fish have been caught many ti-
          mes since 1938, providing a good example of the extent of the speculations that evolutionists en-
          gage in.
