PORTENTS AND FEATURES OF THE MAHDI'S COMING

This means that in the fos sil record, all liv ing spe cies
sud den ly emerge as fully formed, with out any inter me -
di ate forms in between. This is just the oppo site of
Darwin's assump tions. Also, this is very strong evi dence
that all liv ing things are cre at ed. The only expla na tion of
a liv ing spe cies emerg ing sud den ly and com plete in
every detail with out any evo lu tion a ry ances tor is that it
was cre at ed. This fact is admit ted also by the wide ly
known evo lu tion ist biol o gist Douglas Futuyma:
Creation and evo lu tion, between them, exhaust the
pos si ble expla na tions for the ori gin of liv ing things.
Organisms either appeared on the earth fully devel -
oped or they did not. If they did not, they must have
devel oped from pre-exist ing spe cies by some proc -
ess of mod i fi ca tion. If they did appear in a fully devel -
oped state, they must indeed have been cre at ed by
some omnip o tent intel li gence. 12
Fossils show that liv ing beings emerged fully devel -
oped and in a per fect state on the Earth. That means
that "the ori gin of spe cies," con tra ry to Darwin's sup -
po si tion, is not evo lu tion, but cre a tion.

The Tale of Human Evolution
The sub ject most often brought up by advo cates of
the the o ry of evo lu tion is the sub ject of the ori gin of
man. The Darwinist claim holds that mod ern man
evolved from ape-like crea tures. During this alleged
