Impasse of Intermediate Forms
 Darwin
admitted the non-existence of intermediate
form fossils in the chapter titled "Imperfection
of Geological Record" of his book The Origin
of Species. |
Darwin had written: "If
my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties…
must assuredly have existed". However, evolutionists,
despite their 140 year-long search, have not been
able to find even one.
 In
the excavations carried out from Darwin's
time till the present day, not even one
intermediate form has been unearthed. |
The theory of evolution asserts
that living things descended from a common ancestor.
According to the theory, living beings differentiated
from each other over a very long time with linked,
gradual modifications.
If this assertion were true,
then numerous "intermediary species"
should have lived in history linking different
living species. For instance, if birds had indeed
evolved from reptiles, then billions of creatures
which were half-bird/half-reptile should have
lived throughout history.
 "MOSAIC"
ORGANISMS ARE NOT INTERMEDIATE FORMS
The most important example of evolutionists'
alleged intermediate forms is a fossil
bird called Archaeopteryx. Focusing on
the teeth and claws of Archaeopteryx,
evolutionists allege that this creature
is an intermediate form between reptiles
and birds. However, an animal class may
well possess features of another animal
class, without this being an indication
that it is a transitional form. For instance,
the Australian platypus reproduces by
laying eggs like reptiles despite being
a mammal. Besides, it has a beak similar
to a bird's. Scientists call organisms
like platypus "mosaic forms". Leading
evolutionists now also admit that mosaic
forms cannot be considered as intermediate
forms.

Darwin knew that the fossil
deposits ought to be full of these "intermediary
transitional forms". Yet he was also well
aware that no transitional form fossils were available.
That was why he devoted a chapter to this problem
in his book The Origin of Species.
Darwin was hoping that this
great problem would be solved in the future and
that transitional forms would be discovered with
new excavations. Despite their best efforts, however,
evolutionists have not been able to find even
a single intermediate form in the 140 years that
have passed since Darwin. The well-known evolutionist
Derek Ager confesses this fact:
 SIMILAR
CREATURES ARE NOT INTERMEDIATE FORMS
The fact that similar animals in different
sizes have been found throughout the ages
is not evidence for there being "intermediate
forms". If the different deer and gazelle
species we see in the picture had been available
only as fossil forms, evolutionists might
well have made an imaginary evolutionary
scheme by arranging them in a line progressing
from the smallest to the biggest. Yet, these
animals are not intermediate forms, but
individual living species. |
The point emerges that if we
examine the fossil record in detail, we find–over
and over again–not gradual evolution, but the
sudden explosion of one group at the expense of
another.20
The sudden origination of living
beings on the Earth is proof that they were created
by God. Evolutionist biologist Douglas Futuyma
admits this fact:
Organisms either appeared on
the earth fully developed or they did not. If
they did not, they must have developed from preexisting
species by some process of modification. If they
did appear in a fully developed state, they must
indeed have been created by some omnipotent intelligence.21

IMAGINARY CREATURES
The imaginary forms existing in the
fantasy of evolutionists ought to have
missing and defective organs. For instance,
a creature in between birds and reptiles
would have half wings and half avian lungs.
Howevwe, no fossil of such a creature
has yet been found, as it is not possible
for such a "weird" creature
as we see in the picture to survive. All
fossils that are discovered belong to
complete and perfectly designed creatures.
