"Firstly, why, if
species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations,
do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all
nature in confusion instead of the species being, as we see them, well
defined?" Charles R. Darwin, The Origin of Species: The
Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life, first edition
reprint Avenel Books, p. 205 |

"But, as by this
theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not
find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?"

| Q32 |
"Instead of
revealing a multitude of transitional forms through which the evolution
of the cell might have occurred, molecular biology has served only to
emphasize the enormity of the gap. We now know not only of the existence
of a break between the living and non-living world, but also that it
represents the most dramatic and fundamental of all the discontinuities
of nature. Dr. Denton, Ph.D (Molecular Biology), An evolutionist
currently doing biological research in Sydney, Australia |
'Dr. Denton' is not an
'evolutionist'. He is a creationist hiding under the label of
Intelligent Design. |

| Q33 |
"Yet Gould and the
American Museum people are hard to contradict when they say there are no
transitional fossils. As a paleontologist myself, I am much occupied
with the philosophical problems of identifying ancestral forms in the
fossil record. Dr. Colin Patterson, Senior Palaeontologist, British
Museum of Natural History, London "Darwin's Enigma: Fossils and
Other Problems," [1984], Master Book Publishers: El Cajon CA,
Fourth Edition, 1988, p89 |
One of the most infamous
examples of a quotation taken out of context and used to imply a meaning
diametrically opposed to the views of the originator.
Please note that the author of "Darwin's Enigma: Fossils and
Other Problems" is NOT Colin Paterson, but Luther
Sunderland. I don't know if this is a deliberate deception or simply
poor research. |

| Q34 |
The more scientists have
searched for the transitional forms between species, the more they have
been frustrated." Newsweek, November 3, 1980 |
Newsweek? It's not even a
scientific magazine, let alone an authoritative source on evolutionary
theory! |

| Q35a |
Breaking up the
quote
"We now come to perhaps the most serious of defects in the
evolutionary theory (belief) - the complete absence of transitional
forms. |
Not true, as demonstrated
above |
FALSE |
| Q35b |
If life has always been
in a continual stream of transmutation from one form to another, as
evolutionists insist, then we should certainly expect to find as many
fossils of the intermediate stages between different forms as of the
distinct kinds themselves. |
We do. |
FALSE |
| Q35c |
Yet, no fossils have
been found that can be considered transitional between the major groups
or phyla! |
There are. Archaeopteryx
is just such a fossil |
FALSE |
| Q35d |
From the beginning,
these organisms were just clearly and distinctly set apart from each
other as they are today. |
Not so. There is a lot of
ambiguity in the fossil record. |
FALSE |
| Q35e |
Instead of finding a
record of fine graduations preserved in the fossil record, we invariably
find large gaps. |
There are many case of
fine gradations in the fossil record |
FALSE |
| Q35f |
This fact is absolutely
FATAL to the general theory (belief) of evolution."Scott M.
Huges. PH.D |
Not is is not.
Evolutionary theory does not rely on the fossil record for primary
evidence. |
FALSE |
