Fossils
By now you may be having a hard time understanding why so many people believe in evolution. Next you might think, “Well, if evolution is really this impossible then what about all of the fossil evidence?”. I’m so glad you asked. If you ask an evolutionist, they will initially tell you that there are so many transitional fossils that the evidence is irrefutable! Then they will say that anyone who says otherwise is anti-science. But let’s dig in a little deeper.
It is believed that there are trillions of fossils still buried in the earth. Millions of fossils have already been uncovered worldwide. Fortunately for us, it isn’t necessary to have a thorough understanding of these fossils. All you need to know is this: there are literally no fossils that show transitions from one type of animal into another. None – not one. All that has ever been found are fully-formed animals, perfectly designed and created by God to adapt to their environment. Occasionally, there is a deformed animal with multiple wings or legs, but this is simply a mutation that replicates existing DNA and is in no way “transitional”.
If evolution were true, and animals morphed into other kinds of animals over billions of years, the majority of fossils should be true transitional fossils. The fact that the evolutionary community can’t find a single one is absolutely devastating to the theory.
You might ask, “but what about the famous ape-man fossils? Well, let’s take a look:
The only evidence that has ever been found for ape-like creatures evolving has been fraudulent or extremely exaggerated. Let’s look at another example. Whale evolution is often touted as the strongest fossil evidence for evolution. Rhodocetus is one of the famous so-called missing links. Let’s see if this evidence is a little more solid than the evidence for ape-men.
The evolutionary community is so powerful, in such solidarity and so eager to protect the theory of evolution that biased assumptions are often treated as fact. Sadly, the more so-called evidences you explore, the more you find this to be true (you will see more examples of this when we discuss dinosaurs).
Let me quickly summarize in a chart the claims that we’ve just witnessed with the most famous fossils used to support the evolutionary story.
This next short clip is from a debate where Dr. Kent Hovind debated three professors (Professor R. Luther Reisbig, Associate Professor Reinhold Schlieper, and Professor Jim Strayer) who all teach at Embry Riddle University. The first professor starts off with the relevance and importance of the various fields of study that all work together to prove evolution.
By the time Dr. Hovind finished talking about fossils, listen to what the professor has to say about how much evidence and support there is for evolution in fossils:
You will find that many intelligent, highly educated people believe in evolution. They faithfully defend evolution and scoff at creationism even when evidence contradicts evolutionary theory and supports creationism.
Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 2:14 that “The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.” I never really understood this verse and many others like it until I listened to evolutionists defend their beliefs. Even when the evidence is so strong (probabilities for example), they still are unable to discern the truth. We see this in politics as well when fallible men and women defend the act of killing innocent babies for the sake of “choice”. They truly can’t discern this as wrong because they lack God’s spirit within them.
Fossils are a perfect tool for the evolutionists because they require context and interpretation. They aren’t alive and they don’t come with tags so it is easy to paint a picture and try to use fossils to support the story. It has been to the benefit of evolution that so few people actually understand how fossils are created. We all know they exist, but do we ask the obvious question – why are there so many fossils all over the world?
The evolutionary model of slow and gradual processes over millions of years simply can’t account for so many fossils. The only thing that explains this is a worldwide catastrophic flood.
But how could a world-wide flood be possible? Wasn’t the flood of Noah just a local flood? Isn’t it just a story passed down from other cultures? Isn’t it impossible for all the animals to fit inside a big boat? Let’s use critical thinking and solid research to put it to the test.
