Page 141 - The Transitional Form Dilemma

Despite this lack of transitional-form fos-
sils, which are so important for the theory of evolu-
tion, books, magazines and some textbooks still make
references to “transitional forms.” Many of these—
Archaeopteryx or Lucy—for instance, have become emblems
for the theory of evolution. One sometimes encounters head-
lines in newspapers and magazines to the effect that “The
Missing Link has been Found.”Such reports claim that some
newly discovered fossil represents the transitional form that evolu-
tionists have been seeking all these years. That being so, then what
are these transitional fossils?
As this chapter will show, most of the so-called transi-
tional forms are in reality nothing of the sort. They are all
fossils of unique and fully developed species, having no an-
cestral relationship with any other species. Using biased in-
terpretations and fraudulent methods, however,
evolutionists depict these as transitional forms.
But as you shall see, all these so-called transi-
tional forms are the subject of debate among
evolutionists themselves. Indeed, even some
evolutionists who don’t hesitate to face
facts declare that these are not
transitional forms at
all!
