What Does the Fossil
Record Show?
Traditional
evolutionary theory predicts a fossil record that would contain:
- Simple life forms gradually appearing with similar predecessors.
- Simple life forms gradually changing over time into more-complex
forms.
- Countless transitional links between kinds of creatures.
- Beginnings of and partially completed features such as new
limbs, bones and organs.
- The biblical account of creation predicts a fossil record
that would contain:
- Complex life forms suddenly appearing with no evolutionary
predecessors.
- Complex life forms multiplying "after their kinds"
(Genesis 6:20), but with limited variety within those kinds.
- No transitional links between kinds of creatures.
- No partial features such as new limbs, bones and organs; all
parts are complete and fully functional.
- After years of study and research, what does the fossil record
show?
- Complex life forms suddenly appearing with no evolutionary
predecessors.
- Complex life forms multiplying "after their kinds,"
but with limited
- variety within each species.
- No transitional links between kinds of creatures.
- No partial features such as new limbs, bones and organs; all
parts are complete and fully functional.
