CATSHARK




                      Age: 95 million years

                      Period: Cretaceous


                      Location: Haqel, Lebanon

                      According to Darwinists’ unscientific claims, plants, animals, fungi and bacteria all share a
                      common origin. The 100 or so different animal phyla (basic taxonomic categories, such as
                      mollusks, arthropods, worms and sponges) have all descended from one imaginary common
                      ancestor. According to the theory, invertebrate organisms gradually (and by chance) turned

                      into fish by acquiring a backbone; fish then turned into amphibians, amphibians into reptiles,
                      some reptiles into birds and others into mammals. Again according to the theory, this transi-
                      tion encompassed a long period of time—hundreds of millions of years—and was carried for-
                      ward in stages. That being the case, countless intermediate species should have emerged and
                      existed during the long transition in question. Yet no sign of any such intermediate forms has
                      ever been encountered in the fossil record.


                      Like that 95-million-year-old catshark fossil pictured here, the fossil record shows that living
                      things came into being fully formed with all their features, and survived unchanged for mil-
                      lions of years.
