Missing Links & Inbetween Forms

Evolution Says....


The fossil record is full of innumerable links (inbetween forms), which show exactly how evolution took place.

The Facts Are .....

(1) Many people believe that the fossil record provides the best evidence for evolution. A study by the world-renowned geneticist, Professor Richard Goldschmidt, in 1940 indicated that there were no transitional forms between the higher categories of living things. So 100 years after Charles Darwin said that there were no transitional forms, there were still none. American Scientist, Vol. 40, 1952 p:97

(2) Recently discovered tiny, worm-like carnivorous creatures called peripatids, have been put forward by some evolutionists as the missing link between insects and worms. This seems ridiculous as these animals include species which have a placenta, like mammals. This reproductive feature, according to the evolutionary time-scale, is very advanced, far too advanced for such primitive creatures. The peripatids do not therefore represent a very primitive missing link. The Advertiser (Adelaide), January 8, 1987 p:3

(3) "... I fully agree with your comments [in your letter] on the lack of direct illustration of evolutionary transitions in my book [entitled "Evolution"]. If I knew of any, fossil or living, I would certainly have included them ..... As a palaeontologist myself, I am much occupied with the philosophical problems of identifying ancestral forms in the fossil record. You say [in your letter] that I should at least 'show a photo of the fossil from which each type of organism was derived'. I will lay it on the line - there is not one such fossil for which one could make a watertight argument. The reason is that statements about ancestry and descent are not applicable in the fossil record". Contents of a letter written on April 10, 1979, by Dr Colin Patterson, a senior palaeoanthropologist at the British Museum of Natural History. Recorded in Luther Sunderland's

(4) "It may be firmly maintained that it is not even possible to make a caricature of an evolution out of paleo-biological facts. The fossil material is now so complete that it has been possible to construct new classes, and the lack of transitional series cannot be explained as being due to the scarcity of material. The deficiencies are real, they will never be filled." Written by the famed botanist and evolutionist Dr N. Heribert Nilsson (Professor, Lund University, Sweden) as a summary of the fossil record, in "Synthetische Artbildung", Verlag CWKE Geerup: Lund (Sweden), 1954. Quoted also in Arthur C. Custance’s book "The Earth Before Man", Part II, Doorway Paper No. 20, Doorway Pub: Brockville (Canada), p:51

(5) "It remains true, as every palaeontologist knows, that most new species, genera, and families, and that nearly all categories above the level of families, appear in the [geological] record suddenly and are not led up to by known, gradual, completely continuous transitional sequences." Written by George Gaylord Simpson in " The Major Features of Evolution", Columbia University Press: New York, 1953 p:360

(6) "Evolution requires intermediate forms between species and palaeontology does not provide them." Written by David B. Kitts in "Palaeontology and Evolutionary Theory", Evolution, Vol. 28, September 1974 p:467

(7) "On the fundamental level it becomes a rigorously demonstratable fact that there are no transitional types, and that the so-called missing links are indeed non-existent." Written by physicist and research mathematician Dr Wolfgang Smith (Professor of Mathematics, Oregon State University) in his book "Teilhardism and the New Religion: A Thorough Analysis of the Teachings of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin", Tan Books & Pub. Inc: Rockford (USA), 1988 p:8

(8) "The curious thing is that there is a consistency about the fossil gaps; the fossils are missing in all the important places." Written by archaeologist Francis Hitching (Royal Institute of Archaeology) in "The Neck of the Giraffe or Where Darwin Went Wrong", Penguin Books: Bergenfield (USA), 1982 p:19

(9) "The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of
