THE FOSSIL RECORD DENIES

THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION

The theory of evolution maintains that different groups of living things (phyla) developed from a common ancestor and grew
apart with the passing of time. The diagram above states this claim: According to Darwinism, living things grew apart from one
another like the branches on a tree.
But the fossil record shows just the opposite. As can be seen from the diagram below, different groups of living things emerged
suddenly with their different structures. Some 100 phyla suddenly emerged in the Cambrian Age. Subsequently, the number of
these fell rather than rose (because some phyla became extinct).
