In short, scientific findings show that reptiles did not appear on
Earth as the result of a gradual development, as the theory of evolution
maintains, but that they emerged suddenly—with no ancestors behind
them.

Marine reptiles are yet another group for whose origins evolution-

Ichthyosaurs possessed the complex and unique features of
species that live in oceans and deep water. Yet evolutionists maintain
