THE TRANSITIONAL-FORM DILEMMA

The vertebrate paleontologist Chris McGowan describes how
Ichthyosaurs appear suddenly in the fossil record, with no evolution-
ary ancestors preceding them:
I suggested that ichthyosaurs had just dropped out of the sky. The embarrass-
ing fact is that we have not yet found the ancestor of the Ichthyosaurs. This has
not prevented paleontologist from speculating, though, and most reptilian
groups, at one time or another have been proposed as possible ichthyosaur an-
cestors. 38

As McGowan—an evolutionist—courageously admits, the lack of
evidence represents no obstacle to evolutionists producing fictitious
ancestors for marine reptiles. Even so, evolutionist speculation is insuf-
ficient to conceal the manifest truth that, like all other creatures, marine
reptiles were created. For that reason, no fossils belonging to their an-
cestors are to be found anywhere in the fossil record.

The True Origin of Mammals
According to the theory of evolution, some reptiles evolved into
birds and others into mammals. But there are distinct and considerable

If, as evolutionists would have us believe, mammals had actually evolved from rep-
tiles in minute stages, then the fossil record should display millions of fossils of tran-
sitional forms such as those pictured. The complete absence of transitional forms
spells the collapse of the theory of evolution.
