The Latest Fossil Claim of the Theory
of Evolution has also Become History
The theory of evolution met a crushingdefeat in palaeontology
as well in biochemical topics such as genes, DNA and the cell systems.
Fossils demonstrate that living species did not evolve from each other,
but were created separately with their individual specific characteristics.
According to the theory of evolution, all living species
evolved from one another. A previously-existing species turned into another
species over time and all species came into being in this manner. According
to the theory, this transformation has been over a very long period of
hundreds of millions of years and proceeded gradually. In that case, numerous "intermediary species"
should have originated and lived within this long alleged transformation
period.
For
instance, some half-fish/half-reptiles should have lived in the past which
had acquired some reptilian traits in addition to the fish traits they
already had. Or some reptile-birds should have originated which had acquired
some bird traits in addition to the reptilian traits they already had.
Since they were in a transitory period, they had to be crippled, deficient,
and defective living beings. Evolutionists refer to these theoretical
creatures, which they believe to have lived in the past, as "transitional
forms".
If such animals had really existed in the past, there
should be millions and even billions of them in number and variety. Darwinism
is shattered right at this point, because there is not a single trace
of these imaginary "intermediate transitional forms". This fact has been known for a long time. Yet evolutionists
speculated on a few fossils, trying to present them as "intermediate
transitional forms" and comforted themselves saying, "only a
few intermediate forms have been found so far, but in the future all of
them will be unearthed". The most important fossil presented as an
intermediate form was a 150-million-year-old extinct bird fossil called
Archaeopteryx. Evolutionists claimed that this bird had reptilian traits.
Despite the fact that their claims have been refuted one by one and that
it has been proved that Archaeopteryx was not an intermediate transitional
form but a flying bird species, they desperately embraced this last fossil
they had.
"Fossil Discovery Threatens Theory of Birds' Evolution"

At last, a fossil discovered during recent weeks, definitely
overthrew this last hope of evolutionists. As quoted from the evolutionist
sources, a fossil was discovered which revealed that the ancient ancestor
of birds was not a dinosaur or any other living being but a bird. News about this discovery first appeared in the world
media on June 23, 2000, in New York Times with the headline "Fossil
Discovery Threatens Theory of Birds' Evolution". This article was
about a bird which was recently unearthed in the Middle East. Prominent
scientific journals such as Science and Nature and the world-renowned
TV station BBC announced the recent developments as follows: "It
has been discovered that the fossil, which is unearthed in the Middle
East and estimated to have lived 220 million years ago, is covered with
feathers, has a wishbone just like Archaeopteryx and modern birds do,
and there are hollow shafts in its feathers. THIS INVALIDATES THE CLAIMS
THAT ARCHAEOPTERYX IS THE ANCESTOR OF BIRDS, because the fossil discovered
is 75 million years older than Archaeopteryx. This means that A REAL BIRD
WITH ALL ITS CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES ALREADY EXISTED 75 MILLION YEARS
BEFORE THE CREATURE WHICH WAS ALLEGED TO BE THE ANCESTOR OF BIRDS."
A Milestone in the History of the Palaeontology
The admission by evolutionists themselves that Archaeopteryx
is not an "intermediate transitional form" to serve as evidence
for evolution is an important milestone in the history of palaeontology.
This is because for about 150 years, Archaeopteryx has continued to be
the most prominent among the very few so-called "intermediate transitional
forms" evolutionists could advance. However, this door of escape
is also closed now, and the world of palaeontology has had to face the
plain truth thatthere is not even a single fossil which can provide evidence
for evolution. The outcomes are evident. The New York Times also accepted
that fact and ran the headline "Fossil Discovery Threatens Theory
of Birds' Evolution." That is true. Indeed, the ancestor of birds
was a bird. The ancestor of fish was a fish, the ancestor of horses was
a horse, the ancestor of kangaroos was a kangaroo and the ancestor of
man was a man. In other words, all different classes of living beings
emerged in the perfect and specific forms they have today. In other words,
they are created by God. The conservative resistance evolutionists show towards
this evident fact has now lost its last cornerstone.

In our other studies on the invalidity of the theory of evolution,
we had explained that Arhaeopteryx is not a living being in between
bird-dinosaur, but an extinct bird species which could fly just
like the modern birds. Despite this fact, some evolutionist publications
still accepted Archaeopteryx as the "primitive ancestor of birds"
and repeat the tale of "dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds". Above
is seen misleading coverage in New Scientist , National Geographic,
and New York Times about Archaeopteryx. Finally, however, truths
have been revealed and even evolutionist publications had to admit
the collapse of the Archaeopteryx myth.
