The Fossil Record: Expectation vs. Fact
After years of study and research, what does the fossil record show?
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 1:21; 6:20), but with limited variety within those kinds.
• No transitional links between different kinds of creatures.
• No partial features such as new limbs, bones and organs.
