Theory of Evolution - The Fossil Record


Darwin theorized that over millions, no billions, of years simple organisms, called life forms, slowly evolved into more complex life forms, first they formed into a fish like creature. Then slowly, that one creature evolved into another, due to it's environmental change, and another and so on and so on until we now have man. Darwin taught that many little changes over a long period of time will add up to big changes.

Fossil Record

 A fossil is defined as the hardened remains of a plant or animal, preserved in rock. In order to become a fossil, a plant or animal had to die a long time ago, and be buried in mud or sand. Instead of just rotting away, the body of a fossilized creature was replaced by rock, with the same shape it had at the time of death. So you get a three-dimensional rock image of a plant or animal.

The fossil record contains fossils of only complete and fully-formed species. There are no fossils of partially-evolved species to indicate that a gradual process of evolution ever occurred. Even among evolutionists there are diametrically different interpretations and reconstructions of the fossils used to support human evolution from a supposed ape-like ancestry.

Darwin's Quotes From His Book:

 Darwin predicted that the fossil records he collected would be the key to proving his theory, but there are several facts about the fossil record which do not fit well with Darwin’s theory of evolution – facts which evolutionary biologists need to explain away rather than use as evidence for their theory. Charles Darwin was very aware of this and devoted a whole chapter in his book, The Origin of Species, 1859, on the subject.

"Firstly, why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradation, 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?" - Darwin- The Origin of Species

"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? "- Darwin - The Origin of Species

"Lastly, looking not to any one time, but to all time, if my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties, linking closely together all the species of the same group, must assuredly have existed." -  Darwin - The Origin of Species

Since Darwin put forth his original theory, scientists have sought fossil evidence indicating past organic transitions. Since Darwin made his theory known to the word, there has been no evidence of evolutionary transition found in the fossil record. In Darwin's own words he said, "Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps is the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory." -  The Origin of Species.

The Deception of Evolutionists & Fossil Records

 Evolutionists will claim that the presence of many individual species proves evolution and to prove their point they falsify documents. They line up pictures of similar looking species and claim that they evolved from one another. The human "family tree" is an example of this flawed theory. Petrified skulls and bones exist from hundreds of species of extinct monkeys and apes. Evolutionists line up the most promising choices to present a gradual progression from monkey to modern man. They simply fill in the big gaps with make-believe creatures to fit the picture. This procedure can be done with humans only because there are many extinct monkey and ape species. The pictures are then placed in all of the textbooks that evolutionists use to teach this nonsense. The pictures are simply a grouping of individual species that does not prove evolution. The late evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould acknowledged this as “the trade secret of paleontology.” He went on to admit, “The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils.”

Charles Darwin himself admitted that fossils of the transitional links between species would have to be found in order to prove his theory. These transitional links have never been found. We only find individual species. Evolutionists try to form these individual species into a link according to similar major features such as wings or four legs, but this simply proves the Theory of Evolution to be a fraud. Darwin was hopeful that future fossils would prove his theory correct, but instead, the lack of transitional links has proven his theory to be completely wrong.

Absolutely no transitional forms either in the fossil record or in modern animal and plant life have been found. All appear fully formed and complete. The fossil record amply supplies us with representation of almost all species of animals and plants but none of the supposed links of plant to animal, fish to amphibian, amphibian to reptile, or reptile to birds and mammals are represented nor any transitional forms at all. There are essentially the same gaps between all the basic kinds in the fossil record as exists in plant and animal life today. There are literally a host of missing links in the fossil record and the modern world. In fact, the presence of individual species actually proves they were not developed by an evolutionary process. If evolution were true, all plants, animals and insects would be in a continual state of change. No two creatures would be identical, because they would not be separate species. All life forms would be a continual blend of characteristics without a clear definition among the species. Everything would be changing, and every animal, insect and plant would be different.


If the theory of evolution were true and it takes millions and millions of years, we should still be able to see some stages of its process. But, we simply don't observe any partially-evolved fish, frogs, lizards, birds, dogs, cats, etc among us. Every species of plant and animal is complete and fully-formed. Another problem is how could partially-evolved plant and animal species survive over millions of years when their basic organs and tissues were still in the process of evolving? How, for example, were animals breathing, eating, and reproducing if there respiratory, digestive, and reproductive organs were still evolving? The fact that animal and plant species are found fully formed and complete in the fossil record is powerful evidence for creation because it is evidence that they came into existence as fully formed and complete which is possible only by creation. Evolutionists like to tell us that at least thousands of years are needed for the fossils to form that we find today. However, objects must be buried rapidly in order to fossilize. This, bearing also in mind the billions of fossils buried around the world, seems to indicate a worldwide catastrophe. None other than, the Great flood.

God Tells Noah to Bible An Ark

" And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits." - Genesis 6:13-15.


God Floods The Earth
This is proof that a worldwide catastrophe would have caused many fossils of animals, plants, and people, including the well known caveman that we have come to know from science.
"And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them." - Genesis 6:17-21.

The Earth is Flooded For 150 Days
This is further proof that fossils had time to form in the muddy earth. "And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days."- Genesis 7:17-24

God's Promise
God promises that He will never again destroy the earth with a flood and He gives a sign to all that He will keep His word, that sign is the rainbow. "And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh." - Genesis 9:8-15

Conclusion

 I will be the first to admit that most of my life I too bought into the theory that the world was billions of years old, but I believed that different forms of life, dinosaurs, mammoths, cavemen, all took their turn on the planet. However, never in my life did I ever imagine that God did not create each and every life and I most certainly did not believe that I evolved from a fish. I could never even believe the lie saying we were related to the apes, which was bad enough, but come on, a fish! Who believes that?

Now, while I've been researching all of these things and writing these commentaries I admit up until this point, I really had not idea what the theory of evolution actually was. When I was in elementary school we may have seen the famous how ape evolved into man illustration, but nothing was really said about it, I never knew anyone in my class saying that he/she believed this stuff, but today teachers are being forced to teach this stuff in public schools. Talk about deception! The text books are falsified in order to prove their theory. What does that tell all who have been questioning whether or not we have a Creator? Of course that question probably means nothing to those who truly deny that God exists. I pray that these people seriously reconsider their views on life and stop trying to create something out of nothing. All the fossils prove is that there was life on this planet, complete and wholly intact, not made up of bits and pieces and certainly not all evolved from a fish.
