DARWIN’S HOPES SHATTERED
           However, although evolutionists have been making strenuous ef-
         forts 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 evolutionists’ expectations, show that life ap-
         peared 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 detail,
           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 suddenly
         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 created. 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:
           Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible expla-
           nations for the origin of living things. Organisms either appeared
           on the earth fully developed or they did not. If they did not, they
           must have developed from pre-existing species by some process of
           modification. If they did appear in a fully developed state, they
           must indeed have been created by some omnipotent intelligence. 12
           Fossils show that living beings emerged fully developed and in a
         perfect state on the Earth. That means that “the origin of species,” con-
         trary to Darwin’s supposition, is not evolution, but creation.
