However, this is not the case, rather, the fossil record shows the original diversity of animal and plant forms.
Evolution models of the fossil record predict the following:
- wholesale transitions in organisms over time
- primitive forms evolving into complex forms
- gradual derivation of new organisms produced transitional forms
We do not find any of these to be true based on our fossil record.
Trilobites are an example of an organism appearing suddenly in the fossil record void of any evidence of transitions. Furthermore, trilobites have an organized complexity comparable to modern day invertebrates.
The facts remain, fossils have been discovered to suddenly appear in the record without transition. This is what would be expected from intelligent design not macroevolution.
Gone five days and this is the first of your arguments I return to.
Disappointing but not surprising since anyone who holds Ken Ham in high esteem and provides links to AiG as "proof" of anything, other than the fact that Ken Ham and his cronies are frauds and liars, just has no understanding of evolution and should not argue against it until they have had the decency to study it.
Thanks for playing, Rev. I give you 1 out of 10.
You're far too generous.
