There is no fossil proof that man is the product of evolution. Could it be that the missing links are still
missing because they simply do not exist?

"Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of
life; and man became a living being." (Genesis 2:7).

13. The Geological Column has tremendous problems.

Approximately 77% of the earth’s surface area on land and under the
sea has seven or more (70% or more) of the strata systems missing
beneath; 94% of the earth’s surface has three or more systems
missing beneath, and an estimated 99.6% has at least one missing
system. xciii Only a few locations on earth (about 0.4% of its area)
have been described with the succession of the ten systems beneath
(west Nepal, west Bolivia, and central Poland). Even where the ten
systems may be present, geologists recognize individual systems to
be incomplete. The entire geologic column, composed of complete
stratigraphic systems, exists only in the diagrams and imaginations
drawn by geologists!

Hundreds of locations are known where the order of the systems identified by geologists does not
match the order of the geologic column. Strata systems are believed in some places to be inverted,
repeated, or inserted where they do not belong.

Overturning, overthrust faulting, or landsliding frequently disrupts the order. In some locations, such
structural changes can be supported by physical evidence, while elsewhere, physical evidence of the
disruption may be lacking, and special pleading may be required using fossils or radiometric dating.

Some “index fossils” from the column are still alive today. An example of this
is the monoplacophoran mollusk Pilina, which might otherwise be
considered diagnostic of the Silurian System, except for the startling
discovery that Neopilina lives today, and, therefore, would be expected in
any system overlying the Silurian. xciv

14. Evidence for Humans Living at the Same Time as Ancient Fossils.
It is known that the trilobite existed between 280 million and 320
million years ago. A local rock found in Antelope Springs named William
J. Meister was hunting for trilobites along a hillside near Antelope
Springs, Utah, in 1968, when he broke open a slab and discovered
something curious: an oblong shape that he took for a human sandal
print. This was quite shocking since the rock at this locality is identified
as the middle Cambrian Wheeler Formation--over 500 million years old.
The supposed sandal print measured approximately 10 1/2 inches by 3
1/2 inches and occurred on both sides of the slab (with opposite relief).
