tally ideological reasons, not scientific ones. It was developed in order to turn peo-
ple away from their faith in God and to offer them an alternative to the fact of
Creation. It was an adaptation to natural history of the materialist logic being dis-
seminated across the globe with that aim in mind. That the theory was being pro- Permian

posed in the name of science was accepted, again due to the primitive state of
science at the time. The claim's illogicality was plain to see, but under the scien-
tific standards of the era, evidence that would reveal the theory's entire lack of
proof had not yet been understood.
The roughly one century and a half that followed rapidly provided count-
less scientific proofs that demonstrated the invalidity of Darwin's hypothesis

and the fact that it was totally invalid. The facts revealed by the science of ge-
netics completely eradicated the idea that species "descended" from one an-
other through minute changes. Genes, as we now know, are exceedingly
complex and delicate. Any mutation will have an adverse, damaging effect
on them. It is therefore impossible for totally unconscious, random changes

to occur in genes so that an organism's structure is converted into another
with different functions. (For details, see Darwinism Refuted, by Harun
Yahya, from Goodword Publishing.)
The fossil record also represents a major disappointment for latter- Younger Carboniferous
day Darwinists. None of the intermediate form fossils that Darwin
expected to be discovered some day in the future has actually

been unearthed. The idea that the fossil record is "inadequate"
is now no longer part of the Darwinist credo, because the Earth
has yielded up almost all existing specimens. A large part of
the planet has been investigated, and paleontology reveals

that in fact, there is not one single example of a "transition." lder Carboniferous
Living things that existed hundreds of millions of years ago
have never changed in all that time. Ol

Fossils are one of the main sources of infor-
mation about the different periods in the
Earth's history. They provide information Cambrian
not just about natural history, but about the
history of the Earth itself. Specific types of
fossil are found only in specific strata
and in specific types of sedimentary
rock.
Fossil groups are unique to each
consecutive rock stratum and rep-
resent a form of signature of that
stratum, enabling paleontolo-
Precambrian
gists to date it accurately.
