Fossils

Question 9 in CMI's '15 Questions for Evolutionists' flyer has plagued evolutionists since the time of Darwin. Where are the transitional fossils? Evolutionary paleontologists have stated that the "missing links" are still missing and some, such as the late Stephen J. Gould, have suggested new ways of interpreting the fossil record due to the lack of transitional fossils.

More confusion and contradiction in the evolutionary story about the fossils.

Why do ‘living fossils’ and functions in ‘junk DNA’ present problems for evolution?

Yes and no!

Crucial to any worldview, the age of the earth has been a wedge deeply splitting Christianity. The rocks and fossils are a story interpreted by a person’s predetermined worldview. Let’s have a look together at some geological features used to ‘read time’ and hear how they whisper “The earth is young!”—just as the Bible would indicate.

Fossils of many animals and plants living today are found in dinosaur-era strata, displaying stasis, contrary to evolutionary expectations.

Unfortunately, the average person is still conditioned into thinking ‘millions of years’ when considering how rocks and fossils form. But as we’ve said many times with many examples—given the right conditions, rocks and fossils will form in a very short time.
