                  As with all others, these genera in their fossil layers ap-
                  peared all at once. Despite all their efforts, evolutionists have not been able to demonstrate transitional
                  characteristics among these genera, and it's worth a closer look at the horse series that Darwinists once de-
                  fended so intently.




                                         Inconsistency and Admissions by Evolutionists


                       Contrary to the evolutionist scenario displayed in museums and textbooks, the horse series is inconsis-
                  tent in terms of various criteria. First of all, evolutionists have not been able to establish any connection be-
                  tween Eohippus (or Hyracotherium), which they claim begins the sequence, and condylarths, supposedly the
                  ancestors of ungulates.    129
                       In addition, there are inconsistencies within the horse series. Some of the creatures included in the se-

                  quence are proven to have lived at the same time as one another. In January, 1981, National Geographic pub-
                  lished the surprising report that researchers in Nebraska, USA came across thousands of
                  10-million-year-old fossils that had been preserved after a sudden volcanic eruption. This news dealt a se-

                  vere blow to the scenario of horse evolution, because the published photographs of these fossils showed
                  both three-toed and one-toed horses,        130  refuting the claim that genera in the horse series evolved from one
                  another. These creatures, claimed to have an ancestral connection, actually lived at the same time and in the
                  same place, and demonstrated no transitional characteristics that could prove evolution. This discovery
                  demonstrated that the evolutionist propaganda of the horse series, long disseminated in museums and

                  textbooks, was completely imaginary and assembled on the basis of preconceptions.
                       A greater inconsistency committed in the name of Darwinism was Mesohippus and its supposed ances-
                  tors. Jonathan Wells, noted for his criticism of Darwinism in his Icons of Evolution, writes that although

                  Miohippus actually appeared in the fossil record before Mesohippus, it persists after it.           131
                       Interestingly, O.C. Marsh himself mentioned the existence of three-toed horses living in southwestern
                  America at that time and that in this respect, they resembled the extinct Protohippus.             132  The inconsistency of
                  the horse series lies not only in the fact that a genera existed in the same time and place as the so-called "an-
                  cestor" from which it claimed linear descent. No isolated area of the world can be taken by itself as evidence

                  that horses came to be through an evolutionary process. Evolutionists have assembled fragments of fossils
