EEL

Age: 95 million years

Period: Cretaceous

Location: Haqel, Lebanon

Not a single example of a supposed forebear of any of the many different species in the fossil record
has ever been encountered.

For instance, while countless fossils show that eels have always existed as eels, there are none that can
be proposed as the ancestor of the eel. This fact represents a terrible predicament for evolutionists, and
is openly stated by many scientists.

Professor Rudolf A. Raff, president of the Indiana Institute of Molecular Biology, and Thomas Kaufman
from Indiana University say this on the subject:

"The lack of ancestral or intermediate forms between fossil species is not a bizarre peculiarity of early meta-
zoan history. Gaps are general and prevalent throughout the fossil record." (R.A. Raff, and T.C. Kaufman,
Embryos, Genes, and Evolution: The Developmental-Genetic Basis of Evolutionary Change, Indiana University Press,

1991, p. 34)
