from different continents according to their preconceptions

and used to corroborate their claims. However, this methodol-
ogy does not accord with objective science.
While assembling the horse series, evolutionists relied on
the fossils' number of toes and the size and structure of the
teeth—but this procedure turned against them. In arranging

their sequence, they claimed that the horse's supposed ances-
tors went from feeding on bushes to feeding on grass, and that
their teeth evolved accordingly. But from studies made on 5-

million-year-old teeth belonging to six different species of
horses, Bruce MacFadden demonstrated that these creatures'
teeth did not really undergo any change. 133
On the other hand, an up-and-down variation can be seen
in the number of ribs and lumbar vertebrae in the sequence,

which is the exact opposite of what evolution would predict.
For example, in the supposed evolutionary horse series, the
number of ribs increased from 15 to 19, and later decreased to

18. In the so-called ancestors, the number of lumbar vertebrae
went from six to eight, then back to six. These structures
