THE TRANSITIONAL-FORM DILEMMA

But mutations lack the ability to perform such wide-ranging, grad-
ual changes. As pointed out earlier, mutations are nearly always harm-
ful. Since they also come about in a random manner, they lack any
planning and organization—and of course the conscious intent to trans-
form one organ into another, gradually and accurately at every stage.

Had evolution actually occurred between reptiles and birds, then
we should have millions of transitional fossils as evidence. To date,
however, not a single half-bird/half-reptile fossil has ever been found.
Those that have been discovered belong to either extinct birds or rep-
tiles. The dino-bird stories we so frequently run across in the media are
nothing more than sleight of hand, as you shall be seeing in some detail.
None of these is the missing link in the so-called evolution of birds.

be the Ancestorss of Birds
Some people, who find the theory of evolution credible only be-
cause of their one-sided and second-hand knowledge of it,
believe that extinct flying reptiles
like pterodactyls are the ancestors
of birds. The fact is, flying reptiles have
absolutely no connection with birds, and no evo-
lutionist authority maintains that birds evolved from
these highly-specialized reptiles.
These flying reptiles are an extinct group
known as pterosaurs, whose origin is a major
dilemma for the theory of evolution. Like
so many other species in the fossil
record, they emerge suddenly with
all their unique features fully
