Page 67 - The Transitional Form Dilemma

HARUN YAHYA

If amphibians were to lay eggs on land they would shortly desic-
cate, and the embryos inside would die. This is a difficulty that cannot
be explained by the theory of evolution, which maintains that reptiles
evolved gradually from amphibians. If life on land is to continue, then
the amphibian’s egg must turn into an amniotic one within a single
generation. No one can explain how this can be accomplished by nat-
ural selection and mutation, the two proposed mechanisms of evolu-
tion.
On the other hand, the fossil record strips the origin of reptiles of
any evolutionary explanations. In an article
titled “Problems of the Origins of
Reptiles,” the well-known evo-
lutionist paleontologist Robert
