What the Fossil Record Reveals
Evidence for Creation or Evolution?
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.
