THE TRANSITIONAL-FORM DILEMMA

Consider the skull, for example. All the creatures today and all
those that once lived in the past possess flawless, smooth, symmetrical
skulls with no deformations at all. According to the claims of evolution-
ists, however, skulls must have gone through a great many tentative
stages until the first flawless one emerged. Skulls would have to assume
a large number of asymmetrical forms before taking on a symmetrical
appearance. Until they did assume a symmetrical appearance, billions
of imperfect forms would have been preserved—for example, a prepon-
derance toward the right, the jaw pointing more right or left, the nose
being nearer the mouth, one ear being further back on the skull than the
other, one eye socket being higher and more to the left etc. Alternatively,
a number of useless and unnecessary
bones should appear on such skulls,
only to vanish a few generations later,
since they serve no purpose. Yet no such
skulls appear in the fossil record. They
are all perfect and symmetrical, just like
present-day skulls. The spaces between
apertures for such organs as the eyes,
ears and nose are also symmetrical and
regular.
As can be seen in the illustrations,
all known skulls are fully
formed and regular, dis-
playing no transitional char-
acteristics. No matter which
species they belong to, all
