Fossils are one of the most striking proofs that evolution never occurred. When the fossil record is ex-
amined, it reveals that all living species have remained the same over millions of years, and that they
never changed until and unless their species became extinct. Joel Cracraft from the American Museum
of Natural History states how, according to the fossil record, there is no transition between species:

". . . [I]t should come as no surprise that it would be extremely difficult to find a specific fossil species that is

both intermediate in morphology between two other taxa and is also in the appropriate stratigraphic posi-
tion." (Joel Cracraft, "Systematics, Comparative Biology, and the Case against Creationism," in Scientists
Confront Creationism, ed. L. R. Godfrey, New York: W. W. Norton & Co., 1983, p. 180)

Cracraft's reference to the finding of intermediate form fossils as something "extraordinarily difficult"
stems from an unwillingness to come out and say, "There are no such fossils." Although he is reluctant
to state this openly, the fact is that the fossils in question have never been found, and it is impossible
that they will ever be unearthed in the future.
