sil record, with four healthy feet, shoulders, a ribcage and all the other
features peculiar to them. No fossil has been found which can be
claimed as these animals’ evolutionary ancestor, as is also stated by
professor of Biology Keith Stewart Thomson emeritus Professor of
Natural History at the University of Oxford:
While we still do not have any really intermediate fossil forms between fishes
and tetrapods, we are free to argue vociferously about the identity of the group
of fishes that must be the tetrapod ancestor. 28

From Amphibians to Reptiles
From Amphibians to Reptiles
According to the Darwinist claim, reptiles such as crocodiles,
lizards and snakes evolved from amphibians. But amphibians and rep-
tiles possess very different properties in a wide range of respects.
One of the most distinctive differences between the two is their
egg structures. Since amphibians lay their eggs in water, their eggs pos-
sess a structure necessary for development there. The eggs have a per-
meable, transparent membrane and a jelly-like structure. However, the
structure of reptile eggs has been created to be suited to a dry terrestrial
environment. The leathery shell of a reptile’s egg, also known as the
amniotic egg, allows the passage of air, but not of water. In this way. the
liquid needed by the developing embryo is preserved until the hatch-
ling emerges from its egg.
