linking most closely all of the species of the same group
together must assuredly have existed... Consequently,
evidence of their former existence could be found only
amongst fossil remains. 10

However, Darwin was well aware that no fossils of
these intermediate forms had yet been found. He
regarded this as a major difficulty for his theory. In one chap-
ter of his book titled "Difficulties on Theory," he wrote:
Why, if species have descended from other species by
insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see
innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all
nature in confusion instead of the species being, as
we see them, well defined?.. But, as by this theory
innumerable transitional forms must have existed,
why do we not find them embedded in countless
numbers in the crust of the earth?.. Why then is
not every geological formation and every stratum
full of such intermediate links? 11

Darwin's Hopes Shattered

However, although evolutionists have been making stren-
uous efforts to find fossils since the middle of the nineteenth
century all over the world, no transitional forms have yet
been uncovered. All of the fossils, contrary to the evolu-
tionists' expectations, 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:
