CROCODILE




                    Age: 65 million years

                    Darwinists maintain that reptiles are descended from amphibians. Yet just as they cannot corrobo-
                    rate the claim that amphibians have a common forerunner, so are they unable to substantiate the
                    claim that reptiles are descended from amphibians.

                    Many scientists are well aware of this. For example, Robert L. Carroll, author of the book Problems of

                    the Origins of Reptiles, writes:

                         "Unfortunately not a single specimen of an appropriate reptilian ancestor is known prior to the appearance
                         of true reptiles. The absence of such ancestral forms leaves many problems of the amphibian-reptilian tran-
                         sition unanswered." (Robert L. Carroll, "Problems of the Origin of Reptiles," Biological Reviews of the
                         Cambridge Philosophical Society, Vol. 44, No. 3, July 1969, p. 393)



                                                 The 90-million-year-old crocodile fossil pictured is proof that crocodiles are
