drawing of a cell you see here represents the very first living cell, as
claimed by evolution. However, there is not a single piece of
scientific evidence or any scientific finding to show how this cell
could have come into being by coincidence.
Again, according to the theory of evolution, it is claimed that, over
billions of years, this single cell first evolved into invertebrate
species, and that these then evolved into fish, then fish into
amphibians, amphibians into reptiles, and then finally reptiles
evolved into birds and mammals. Similarly, man, as a result of such
an imaginary line of descent, evolved from apelike creatures. This is
what the theory of evolution claims.
On the other hand, when we look at the fossil record, we see that
today, we have a rich fossil stock. It is possible to find the fossils of
millions of species that lived in the past in the fossil record. But
most of these belong to present-day species. This means they are
stable species. We still find fossils of stable species of fishes, various
reptiles and mammals.
Of course these are not the kinds of fossils that could prove the
evolutionary process. The supporters of the theory of evolution have
to show us intermediate transitional fossils, which link one species
to another. Certainly there is no way that this first single-celled
organism could all of a sudden change into an invertebrate sea
creature.
If it is asserted that species evolved into one another by successive
minute variations, and that this happened over billions of years,
then evolutionists have to show us these slow, minute changes in
the fossilized examples of those species. They must show us halffish half-reptile, half-reptile half-mammal, half-reptile half-bird
fossils. These imaginary species are called Transitional Forms.
There can be no doubt that if there is no such fossil proof concerning
changes among the fossils of stable species, then there is nothing
left to discuss as regards the theory of evolution.
If we consider the capacity of the fossil record, we see that we have
millions of fossils in hand which belong to stable species. But the
number of so-called transitional species must be much higher than
that of the stable species we observe today. Trillions of transitional
species should be present linking these species to one another. That
is because if there had been slow and fine gradations that had
lasted for billions of years, then the number of stable species should
have been smaller, and the number of transitional form fossils
reflecting those variations should be much higher.
What do we mean by Transitional Forms? Lets explain this
concept in detail.
The starfish is an invertebrate sea creature. According to
evolutionists, it evolved into fish over some 100 million years. If this
is a fact, then when we examine the fossil record, we should come
across starfish fossils. Yes, we certainly have them today. We must
that.
When they find a fossil, and if they think it belongs to an extict
species, they easily make up any story they like. The claim of
transition from fish to reptiles is a typical example .
The fossil we see here belongs to an animal called the coelecanth. It
is alleged to represent the transitional form between fish and
reptiles. Evolutionists suggested it was a half-fish half-reptile
creature. And they claimed that this 350 million year old fossil
species was now extinct, having served its function as a transitional
form.
They made several calculations, and studies, claiming that it had a
big brain, a functioning lung and feet. Relying on these findings,
they were sure that it was a transitional form. As for the
environment in which it lived, they said it had lived near the surface
of the sea and had been even wandering onto the land. Again these
illustrations are copied from evolutionist textbooks. These
explanations were put forward at the beginning of the 20 th century
and consequently found their way into textbooks, while newspapers
and journals published them extensively That interpretation was
portrayed as established fact, until December 23rd 1938.
This date is of considerable importance in the history of science.
Because when a scientist called Curtain Latimer was exploring South
Africa, he came across a living specimen of this so-called extinct
species. Moreover, it was also realised then that this was no half-fish
half-reptile creature but a fish . These film shots prove the point.
So far, more than 200 specimens of this animal have been found in
the Komor Islands, in the Kalumbiya river in the Republic of South
Africa and last year in Indonesia. And by the way, further
examinations were carried out to test the earlier findings. These
revealed that, No!, the brain is not a big one, but a fish brain of a
comparable size to those of all other fish.
Now, it is gratifying to find a species is alive when it had once been
thought to be extinct. However, this fact points to another reality.
Evolutionists are quite capable of making up any old tale when they
find a fossil of an extinct species. We have seen in this example how
biased interpretations and fanciful comments can be offered.
I want to continue with the subject of birds. Birds are very special
species which exhibit aerodynamic skills. The harmony of the
movement of the wings, and the ability to fly is a miracle in itself.
They exhibit the kind of art which mankind tried to imitate in the
last century. How did this skill and these animals themselves come
into existence? How did wings emerge? Evolutionists must first of all
explain these points.
Evolutionists tried to explain all this. They asserted that reptiles
were the ancestors of birds and said dinosaurs turned into birds.
Surely this is a noteworthy claim. But then they had to explain some
specific points. They presented some fossils too, the Archeopteryx
fossil being the most prominent . They assumed it was a half-bird
half-reptile creature. It was published in every evolutionist source.
But later on, all the assumptions made about this fossil, which even
had some bones missing, were eventually refuted.
As the missing bone fragments were found, especially with the last
Archaeopteryx fossil found in Germany in 1992, it was realised that
Archaopteryx was a pure bird after all, and that it had no dinasour
characteristics. Again, 2 fossils found in 1995 and in 1996 in China
revealed that there had been birds living before Archaeopteryx, so it
is illogical to present archaeopteryx as a transitional form. Despite
all these facts, they still defended the so-called link between
dinosaurs and birds.
The advocates of such an assumption, who defend it in the name of
science, have to answer a number of points. How did a dinosaur turn
into a bird? They have put forward 2 theories to account for it. The
first is called the cursorial theory. Cursorial is a latin word which
might lead one to believe that the theory therefore possesses some
kind of scientific credibility. Allow me to tell you what it actually
means, and then you can judge for yourselves if it is scientific or
not.
According to the cursorial theory, dinasours once lived on land, then
they became airborne and turned into birds. Some evolutionists did
not subscribe to that theory and offered an alternative one. That
more recent one is called the arboreal theory, again a latin name.
What do these evolutionists actually say? They say it would have
been very difficult for dinosaurs to have become airborne. So How
did they manage it? They say that dinasours which used to jump
from one tree to another turned into birds.
We have only these two theories to hand. Portraying these two
claims as scientific assumptions, disturbed some other scientists,
who responded that these assumptions had no scientific
perspective, and nothing to do with science at all. So the author of
the first theory defended himself and his theory. That was John
Ostrom, a professor at Yale, who replied: yes I accept that my
theory is based on imagination only, but the advocates of the
jumping dinasours theory are talking from imagination as well. That
is his excuse!.
Lets examine the tale about the dinasours, and how they managed
to take to the air. evolutionists have an explanation. They say that
when dinasours were on land, they used to run after insects, such as
flies. They used their front legs to catch the flies, so after a while
these developed and eventually became wings.
Here we see these drawings. A dinasour is chasing after a fly, its
front legs are developing and in the end, they have been
transformed into wings. A dinasour is very near to catching a fly,
and afterwards becomes a bird. Here you see, evolutionists are
trying to explain the origin of flight in their scenario, yet one of the
characters is already flying. The insects are already capable of
flight.
I have to say that these cartoons were not drawn for the purpose of
criticizing the theory. They are taken from the evolutionist resources.
