               strata, which dates back to between 330 and 315 million years ago. 32 It
               is therefore of course impossible for the ancestor of reptiles to have ap-
               pear many millions of years after reptiles themselves.
                   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.

                   The True Origin of Marine Reptiles
                   Marine reptiles are yet another group for whose origins evolution-
               ists cannot account. In our time, sea turtles and sea snakes are members
               of this group. The most important extinct marine reptile is the
               Ichthyosaurus, which evolutionists suggest evolved from land-
               dwelling reptiles. But they are unable to explain how this might have
               taken place, however, and cannot provide any corroborating evidence
               from the fossil record.
                   Ichthyosaurs possessed the complex and unique features of
               species that live in oceans and deep water. Yet evolutionists maintain
