Genesis Creation vs. Darwin's Macroevolution Myth

Gaps in the record. A very short story of the evolution of lobe finned fish into tetrapods.

Just a few decades ago there was a gap in the fossil records between lobe finned fish and tetrapods. Scientists believed that tetrapods had evolved from lobe finned fish. The problem was there was a gap in the fossil record between lobe fin fish and tetrapods. Creationists were happy with this state of knowledge. They could point at the gap and say, “See! There is a gap. Evolution cannot possibly be true.”

Scientist on the other hand weren’t so happy. They knew that if evolution was true then at some point after the first lobe fined fish and before the first tetrapod appeared in the fossil record there should be an animal with the characteristics of both. So they started looking for it. Then in the early 90’s on the cold and barren shores of Greenland in rocks of just the right age they found exactly what they thought should be there. A fossil with the skull of a lobe finned fish and limbs half way between those of the fish and the tetrapod.

The scientists were happy. Science had worked. They used the theory of evolution to make a prediction. Then they found the evidence they thought should be there. The theory based prediction had worked. They had added yet another piece of evidence to the ever growing mountain of facts that evolution is true.

Much to the surprise of the scientist however the creationists were even happier with the new state of knowledge than before. Instead of looking at the new evidence and seeing their precious gap disappear they now saw two gaps instead of one. This made the scientists sad. The creationists it seemed were doomed to forever live in the ignorance forced on them by their own religious dogma.
