The Deception of Evolution
in the fossil record. In The Origin of Species, Darwin explained:
If my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties,
linking most closely all of the species of the same group
together must assuredly have existed... Consequently, evi-
dence of their former existence could be found only
amongst fossil remains. 10
Darwin's Hopes Shattered
However, although evolutionists have been making strenu-
ous efforts to find fossils since the middle of the nineteenth cen-
tury all over the world, no transitional forms have yet been
uncovered. All of the fossils, contrary to the evolutionists' expec-
tations, show that life appeared on Earth all of a sudden and
fully-formed.
One famous British paleontologist, Derek V. Ager, admits
this fact, even though he is an evolutionist:
The point emerges that if we examine the fossil record in de-
tail, whether at the level of orders or of species, we find—
over and over again—not gradual evolution, but the
sudden explosion of one group at the expense of another. 11
This means that in the fossil record, all living species sud-
denly emerge as fully formed, without any intermediate forms
in between. This is just the opposite of Darwin's assumptions.
Also, this is very strong evidence that all living things are creat-
ed. The only explanation of a living species emerging suddenly
and complete in every detail without any evolutionary ancestor
is that it was created. This fact is admitted also by the widely
known evolutionist biologist Douglas Futuyma:
