1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:28,860
Fossil is the name given to the remains or traces of a long dead plant or animal

2
00:00:28,860 --> 00:00:32,560
preserved in the Earth's crust since very ancient times.

3
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:42,720
Fossils collected from all over the world are our most important source of information

4
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,840
about the living things that once existed on Earth.

5
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:57,020
The skeletons of living things, whose contact with the air was suddenly cut off,

6
00:00:57,020 --> 00:00:59,500
have survived down to the present day.

7
00:01:00,820 --> 00:01:04,740
Research into fossils permits us to learn about animals and plants,

8
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:08,640
revealing which living things lived during which periods.

9
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:12,780
It also provides evidence of the fact that some creatures,

10
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,640
which existed millions of years ago, have remained unchanged to date.

11
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,240
According to Darwin's evolutionary theory,

12
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:24,640
whose invalidity has been definitely proven by the fossil record,

13
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,720
species are descended from one single common ancestor.

14
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,620
The emergence of such very different species took place with minute changes being added

15
00:01:34,620 --> 00:01:37,840
onto one another over a very long period of time.

16
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,560
According to the theory, single-celled organisms appeared first,

17
00:01:45,860 --> 00:01:48,820
and over the course of hundreds of millions of years,

18
00:01:48,820 --> 00:01:52,280
these first developed into invertebrate marine creatures,

19
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,280
and later into fish.

20
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:00,280
These fish then moved onto dry land, giving rise to reptiles.

21
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,960
According to the same claim, birds and mammals then evolved separately from reptiles.

22
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,180
If all this were true, then a very large number of intermediate forms of species

23
00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:19,880
must have once existed, as one life form supposedly evolved into another.

24
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,460
For example, if reptiles really evolved into birds,

25
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:28,580
then billions of half-reptile, half-bird forms must once have lived.

26
00:02:29,380 --> 00:02:33,600
These intermediate forms would have had incomplete, non-functional wings.

27
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:41,880
It was Darwin who originally named these hypothetical imaginary creatures

28
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,500
intermediate forms.

29
00:02:45,660 --> 00:02:48,220
He knew that if his theory was to be verified,

30
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,200
then the remains of these intermediate forms would have to be unearthed in the fossil record.

31
00:02:53,460 --> 00:02:56,880
In his book, The Origin of Species, Darwin wrote,

32
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:06,260
If my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties linking most closely all of the species

33
00:03:06,260 --> 00:03:09,640
of the same group together must assuredly have existed.

34
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,280
Consequently, evidence of their former existence could be found only amongst fossil remains.

35
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:25,620
However, Darwin was also well aware that the fossil record contained absolutely none of his intermediate forms.

36
00:03:26,660 --> 00:03:30,080
That's why he devoted a special chapter in his book to the matter,

37
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,020
where he posed these worrisome questions.

38
00:03:33,020 --> 00:03:42,140
Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations,

39
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,120
do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms?

40
00:03:46,580 --> 00:03:51,060
As by this theory, innumerable transitional forms must have existed.

41
00:03:51,060 --> 00:03:56,040
Why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the Earth?

42
00:04:03,020 --> 00:04:33,000
Evolutionists seize on fossils as very important,

43
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,760
in terms of being able to establish relationships

44
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:41,340
and point out developmental similarities between them and today's living life forms.

45
00:04:41,980 --> 00:04:45,040
They look to the fossil record to verify their claims

46
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,780
that species evolved gradually from one another.

47
00:04:55,060 --> 00:05:00,380
Yet, although 80% of the fossil record has now been unearthed,

48
00:05:00,380 --> 00:05:03,520
they still have not a single piece of evidence to offer.

49
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,220
For that reason, in an attempt to prove their theories,

50
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:14,780
some evolutionists have attempted to manufacture their own fossils,

51
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,280
and these have later been realized to be forgeries or distortions.

52
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:22,420
The Earth's fossil layers actually prove

53
00:05:22,420 --> 00:05:25,920
that living things have existed in their perfect forms

54
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,300
ever since they were first created.

55
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,300
Neville George, a Glasgow University professor of paleontology,

56
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:37,620
admitted this many years ago.

57
00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:45,720
There is no need to apologize any longer

58
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,640
for the poverty of the fossil record.

59
00:05:48,860 --> 00:05:52,700
In some ways, it has become almost unimaginably rich,

60
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,140
and discovery is outpacing integration.

61
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,160
The fossil record, nevertheless,

62
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,720
continues to be composed mainly of gaps.

63
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:11,840
Niles Eldridge, the famous Harvard University paleontologist,

64
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,140
expresses the invalidity of Darwin's claim

65
00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:18,820
that the reason why no transitional forms have been found

66
00:06:18,820 --> 00:06:21,380
is the insufficient fossil record.

67
00:06:24,380 --> 00:06:26,000
The record jumps,

68
00:06:26,660 --> 00:06:29,460
and all the evidence shows that the record is real.

69
00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:34,040
The gaps we see reflect real events in life's history,

70
00:06:34,820 --> 00:06:38,260
not the artifact of a poor fossil record.

71
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,240
Whenever the fossil record is mentioned,

72
00:06:45,940 --> 00:06:47,700
most people mistakenly assume

73
00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:49,760
that there is a positive relationship

74
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,880
between the record and Darwin's theory.

75
00:06:52,220 --> 00:06:55,880
However, an article in New Scientist by David Raup,

76
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,980
a professor of geology from Harvard, Rochester,

77
00:06:59,260 --> 00:07:00,740
and Chicago universities,

78
00:07:01,060 --> 00:07:02,880
refers specifically to this error.

79
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,040
A large number of well-trained scientists

80
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,560
outside of evolutionary biology and paleontology

81
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,240
have unfortunately gotten the idea

82
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,560
that the fossil record is far more Darwinian than it is.

83
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,480
This probably comes from the oversimplification

84
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,780
inevitable in secondary sources.

85
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,320
Low-level textbooks,

86
00:07:29,020 --> 00:07:31,160
semi-popular articles, and so on.

87
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,800
Also, there is probably some wishful thinking involved.

88
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,480
In the years after Darwin,

89
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,780
his advocates hoped to find predictable progressions.

90
00:07:42,740 --> 00:07:44,740
In general, these have not been found,

91
00:07:45,180 --> 00:07:47,240
yet the optimism has died hard,

92
00:07:47,620 --> 00:07:50,760
and some pure fantasy has crept into textbooks.

93
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:59,660
The American paleontologist Stephen Stanley

94
00:07:59,660 --> 00:08:02,900
describes how this aspect of the fossil record

95
00:08:02,900 --> 00:08:05,140
is ignored by the Darwinist dogma

96
00:08:05,140 --> 00:08:07,560
that dominates the scientific world,

97
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,500
and how that dogma persuades others

98
00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:12,120
to ignore the facts, too.

99
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,540
The known fossil record is not,

100
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,900
and has never been,

101
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,640
in accord with gradualism.

102
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,460
What is remarkable is that,

103
00:08:21,620 --> 00:08:24,100
through a variety of historical circumstances,

104
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,220
even the history of opposition has been obscured.

105
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,040
As the biological historian William Coleman

106
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,140
has recently written,

107
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,820
the majority of paleontologists felt

108
00:08:33,820 --> 00:08:35,860
their evidence simply contradicted

109
00:08:35,860 --> 00:08:38,160
Darwin's stress on minute, slow,

110
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,740
and cumulative changes

111
00:08:39,740 --> 00:08:41,540
leading to species transformation.

112
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:43,480
Their story has been suppressed.

113
00:08:49,640 --> 00:09:17,300
The oldest stratum in which fossils are found

114
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:21,100
is the Cambrian, estimated at between 530

115
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:23,420
and 500 million years old.

116
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,960
Apart from single-celled organisms,

117
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:29,260
no fossils have been discovered

118
00:09:29,260 --> 00:09:31,760
in any strata older than the Cambrian.

119
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,360
In the Cambrian period,

120
00:09:34,860 --> 00:09:36,840
a number of very different species

121
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,840
appeared suddenly.

122
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,940
More than 30 species,

123
00:09:41,420 --> 00:09:44,460
such as jellyfish, starfish, and snails,

124
00:09:44,980 --> 00:09:46,580
emerge all at once.

125
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,140
Contrary to the assumptions

126
00:09:50,140 --> 00:09:51,580
of the theory of evolution,

127
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,680
these creatures possessed

128
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:55,780
very complex bodily structures,

129
00:09:56,180 --> 00:09:57,760
rather than simple ones.

130
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:02,320
Trilobites, with their hard shells,

131
00:10:02,860 --> 00:10:05,180
segmented bodies, and complex organs,

132
00:10:05,180 --> 00:10:06,620
are a good example.

133
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,900
Their abundant fossils

134
00:10:11,900 --> 00:10:13,000
have made it possible

135
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,320
for detailed research

136
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,100
to be conducted

137
00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:16,700
on the trilobite's eyes.

138
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,760
This structure is made up

139
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,740
of hundreds of tiny combs,

140
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:23,920
each one of which

141
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,580
contains a double lens.

142
00:10:27,140 --> 00:10:29,880
This structure is a marvel of creation.

143
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,660
The trilobite's eye

144
00:10:33,660 --> 00:10:36,080
is the earliest known eye on Earth

145
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,040
and definitely refutes

146
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:39,300
the Darwinist claim

147
00:10:39,300 --> 00:10:40,960
that living things evolved

148
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,740
from the simple to the complex.

149
00:10:45,740 --> 00:10:47,260
On this subject,

150
00:10:47,540 --> 00:10:48,200
David Raup,

151
00:10:48,460 --> 00:10:51,020
a University of Chicago paleontologist,

152
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,080
says that

153
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:57,900
the trilobite's eye

154
00:10:57,900 --> 00:10:59,100
The trilobites

155
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:01,340
used an optimal design

156
00:11:01,340 --> 00:11:02,220
which would require

157
00:11:02,220 --> 00:11:03,260
a well-trained

158
00:11:03,260 --> 00:11:05,320
and imaginative optical engineer

159
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,440
to develop today.

160
00:11:10,060 --> 00:11:11,280
In addition,

161
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,260
this same ocular system

162
00:11:13,260 --> 00:11:14,140
has survived

163
00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:15,700
right down to the present day,

164
00:11:16,220 --> 00:11:19,380
unchanged over 530 million years,

165
00:11:19,380 --> 00:11:22,760
and can still be seen

166
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:23,840
in such insects

167
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,260
as bees and dragonflies.

168
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,200
According to the theory of evolution,

169
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,020
species have evolved

170
00:11:35,020 --> 00:11:36,320
from simple forms

171
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,780
to more complex ones.

172
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:41,620
Yet there are no other complex forms

173
00:11:41,620 --> 00:11:43,000
prior to trilobites

174
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,600
and other Cambrian creatures

175
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,360
which appeared suddenly.

176
00:11:49,380 --> 00:11:58,360
coming into being

177
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,640
with no forerunners

178
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:00,460
preceding them.

179
00:12:04,540 --> 00:12:06,540
The British zoologist

180
00:12:06,540 --> 00:12:07,680
Richard Dawkins,

181
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:08,960
the best-known

182
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,340
contemporary proponent

183
00:12:10,340 --> 00:12:11,660
of the theory of evolution,

184
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,820
makes the following confession.

185
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,900
It is as though they,

186
00:12:17,540 --> 00:12:18,460
Cambrian creatures,

187
00:12:18,460 --> 00:12:20,300
were just planted there

188
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:22,660
without any evolutionary history.

189
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,440
This totally invalidates

190
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,600
the theory of evolution

191
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:28,560
because,

192
00:12:29,140 --> 00:12:30,540
in The Origin of Species,

193
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:31,760
Darwin wrote,

194
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,140
If numerous species

195
00:12:36,140 --> 00:12:38,140
belonging to the same genera

196
00:12:38,140 --> 00:12:38,840
or families

197
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,460
have really started

198
00:12:40,460 --> 00:12:41,860
into life all at once,

199
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:43,920
the fact would be fatal

200
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,320
to the theory of descent

201
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,080
with slow modification

202
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,500
through natural selection.

203
00:12:49,340 --> 00:12:50,440
This blow

204
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:51,860
that Darwin so feared

205
00:12:51,860 --> 00:12:52,680
is dealt

206
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:54,080
by the Cambrian period,

207
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,500
right at the beginning

208
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:56,600
of the fossil record.

209
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:05,380
Because the living species

210
00:13:05,380 --> 00:13:06,100
in strata

211
00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:07,480
from after the Cambrian

212
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,120
also appear suddenly,

213
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:09,980
again,

214
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,760
with fully formed structures.

215
00:13:16,140 --> 00:13:17,680
Basic living classes

216
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:18,780
such as fish,

217
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,000
amphibians,

218
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,040
reptiles,

219
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:21,820
and mammals,

220
00:13:21,820 --> 00:13:23,360
along with hundreds

221
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,120
of thousands

222
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:24,900
of species

223
00:13:24,900 --> 00:13:26,120
within those classes,

224
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,180
emerged on Earth

225
00:13:28,180 --> 00:13:29,600
all of a sudden

226
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,140
and all perfectly formed.

227
00:13:36,140 --> 00:13:37,180
Among them,

228
00:13:37,460 --> 00:13:38,520
there is not a single

229
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:39,740
intermediate form

230
00:13:39,740 --> 00:13:41,120
of the kind dreamed of

231
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,320
by evolutionists.

232
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,380
Another example

233
00:13:45,380 --> 00:13:46,160
that shows

234
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:46,720
that life

235
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,540
did not develop

236
00:13:47,540 --> 00:13:48,320
from the simple

237
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,380
to the complex,

238
00:13:50,020 --> 00:13:50,860
but was already

239
00:13:50,860 --> 00:13:52,180
exceedingly complex

240
00:13:52,180 --> 00:13:53,280
the moment it appeared

241
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,680
is the shark,

242
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:56,500
which the fossil record

243
00:13:56,500 --> 00:13:57,800
shows to have appeared

244
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,060
around 400 million years ago.

245
00:14:02,340 --> 00:14:03,480
This creature

246
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,000
possessed

247
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,640
the very superior ability

248
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,400
to replace

249
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,600
its lost teeth.

250
00:14:09,660 --> 00:14:11,120
Yet many creatures

251
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,200
that lived millions

252
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,240
of years after it

253
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,340
lacked this property.

254
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:21,360
This is incontrovertible proof

255
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,180
that the shark

256
00:14:22,180 --> 00:14:23,140
did not evolve

257
00:14:23,140 --> 00:14:23,940
from the simple

258
00:14:23,940 --> 00:14:24,820
to the complex.

259
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:30,720
The fact

260
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,420
the vertebrate mammalian eye

261
00:14:32,420 --> 00:14:33,080
and that

262
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,680
of the invertebrate octopus,

263
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:36,400
which species emerged

264
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,360
hundreds of millions

265
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,260
of years earlier

266
00:14:38,260 --> 00:14:39,160
than the mammals,

267
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,700
resemble one another

268
00:14:40,700 --> 00:14:41,860
and have the same

269
00:14:41,860 --> 00:14:42,940
complex structures

270
00:14:42,940 --> 00:14:43,760
and systems

271
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,460
is still more evidence.

272
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,200
All these examples

273
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:49,780
demonstrate

274
00:14:49,780 --> 00:14:50,980
that there is no

275
00:14:50,980 --> 00:14:52,380
developmental progression

276
00:14:52,380 --> 00:14:53,300
from the simple

277
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:54,280
to the complex

278
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,320
in living species.

279
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,280
This fact

280
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,100
has been observed

281
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:00,000
from analysis

282
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,320
of morphological,

283
00:15:01,660 --> 00:15:02,060
functional,

284
00:15:02,380 --> 00:15:03,360
and genetic studies

285
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,560
of living organisms.

286
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:11,280
In terms of shape

287
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:12,000
and size,

288
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:12,700
for example,

289
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,020
many creatures

290
00:15:14,020 --> 00:15:15,480
from earlier strata,

291
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:16,920
such as dinosaurs,

292
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,500
are far larger

293
00:15:18,500 --> 00:15:19,300
than others

294
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:19,840
that appeared

295
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:20,520
after them.

296
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,720
We see exactly

297
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,620
the same thing

298
00:15:28,620 --> 00:15:29,320
in terms of

299
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,320
functional systems.

300
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:38,100
In terms of its structure,

301
00:15:38,820 --> 00:15:40,320
the ear is one example

302
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,480
that refutes

303
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,300
the supposition

304
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:43,260
of development

305
00:15:43,260 --> 00:15:44,280
from the simple

306
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,360
to the complex.

307
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,560
Amphibians have

308
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,220
a middle ear cavity,

309
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,420
yet reptiles,

310
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:53,340
which emerged

311
00:15:53,340 --> 00:15:54,040
after them

312
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,040
in the fossil record,

313
00:15:55,220 --> 00:15:56,800
have a simple hearing system

314
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,420
based on one single

315
00:15:58,420 --> 00:15:59,260
small bone

316
00:15:59,260 --> 00:16:00,480
and possess no

317
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:01,560
middle ear cavity.

318
00:16:03,420 --> 00:16:04,380
Genetic research

319
00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:05,980
produces similar results.

320
00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:10,340
Studies have shown

321
00:16:10,340 --> 00:16:11,240
that the sequence

322
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,520
in chromosome numbers

323
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,600
does not reflect

324
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,360
living organisms' complexity.

325
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,780
For example,

326
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,040
human beings

327
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,640
have 46 chromosomes.

328
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,000
the copepod crab

329
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,040
only six,

330
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,220
yet the microscopic

331
00:16:29,220 --> 00:16:30,240
life form

332
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,440
radiolaria

333
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,240
a massive 800.

334
00:16:34,780 --> 00:16:35,880
This fact alone

335
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:36,900
proves that there

336
00:16:36,900 --> 00:16:38,300
was never any evolution

337
00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:39,780
in either functional

338
00:16:39,780 --> 00:16:41,600
or morphological terms,

339
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:42,640
from the simple

340
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:43,640
to the complex.

341
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,240
The evolutionist

342
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:52,640
paleontologist

343
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:54,420
Mark Czarnecki

344
00:16:54,420 --> 00:16:55,620
admits as much.

345
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:00,540
A major problem

346
00:17:00,540 --> 00:17:01,660
in proving the theory

347
00:17:01,660 --> 00:17:03,000
has been the fossil record,

348
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:03,880
the imprints

349
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,140
of vanished species

350
00:17:05,140 --> 00:17:06,500
preserved in the Earth's

351
00:17:06,500 --> 00:17:07,720
geological formations.

352
00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:08,880
This record

353
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,060
has never revealed

354
00:17:10,060 --> 00:17:11,480
traces of Darwin's

355
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:12,020
hypothetical

356
00:17:12,020 --> 00:17:13,580
intermediate variance.

357
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:14,400
Instead,

358
00:17:14,740 --> 00:17:15,580
species appear,

359
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:16,320
abruptly,

360
00:17:16,660 --> 00:17:17,480
and this anomaly

361
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:18,280
has fueled

362
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,540
the creationist argument

363
00:17:19,540 --> 00:17:20,720
that each species

364
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,340
was created by God.

365
00:17:24,420 --> 00:17:25,580
as much species

366
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:26,880
has been the fastest

367
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:42,880
in the nays

368
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,080
that we�ve

369
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,360
has been the most

370
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:46,500
world

371
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:52,760
named

372
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:58,260
many specimens of these same organisms still in existence today.

373
00:17:58,260 --> 00:18:03,940
Their remaining unchanged completely invalidates the theory that maintains that living things

374
00:18:03,940 --> 00:18:17,260
are in a constant state of change and that they constantly develop as a result of chance.

375
00:18:17,260 --> 00:18:22,980
The fossil record demonstrates the exact opposite.

376
00:18:22,980 --> 00:18:28,980
The very first fish, reptiles or mammals that emerged on Earth are exactly identical to

377
00:18:28,980 --> 00:18:35,220
present-day fish, reptiles and mammals.

378
00:18:35,220 --> 00:18:44,100
Some species have become extinct, but no species has ever morphed into another.

379
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:49,480
This demonstrates that God created living species independently and that living things

380
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:57,200
have never undergone any evolution since the day of their creation.

381
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,340
We may list a few of the many examples of this.

382
00:19:01,340 --> 00:19:10,680
A 100 million year old ant embedded in amber is identical to modern day ants.

383
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:17,620
This shrimp-like creature, bearing the scientific name Triops cancriformis, has remained unchanged

384
00:19:17,620 --> 00:19:21,120
for 300 million years.

385
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:28,120
A 400 million year old sea star is indistinguishable from a living specimen.

386
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:48,120
A 355 to 295 million year old dragonfly fossil is identical to those species living today.

387
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:56,880
There is no difference between wasp fossils millions of years old and wasps alive today.

388
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:02,120
A 190 million year old crocodile fossil compared with a living specimen.

389
00:20:02,120 --> 00:20:09,120
A tortoise that has undergone no changes and a 50 million year old fossil tortoise.

390
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:25,120
There is no difference between a 195 million year old fossil shrimp and those alive today.

391
00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:30,120
The alleged evolution of plants is also no more than a myth.

392
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:45,120
On the screen can be seen a living specimen of the plant Acher Monspeculanum and a 30 million year old fossil.

393
00:20:45,120 --> 00:20:57,120
Fossils of the invertebrate mollusk known as the chambered nautilus, frequently encountered in today's seas, are also found in Cambrian strata dating back 520 million years.

394
00:20:57,120 --> 00:21:04,120
The nautilus has undergone no evolution from the time of its creation down to the present day.

395
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:16,120
A fossil fish dating back 200 million years shows no difference between the old fish and those living today.

396
00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:23,120
The theory of evolution maintains that living things developed from simple forms to the more complex.

397
00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:28,120
This is a prejudice that does not reflect the truth.

398
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:52,120
In order to see just how unrealistic this claim is, let us consider one creature that evolutionists claim

399
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:59,120
to have developed from a simpler form, the fish.

400
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:07,120
If you examine any species of fish, you will see that in order to swim, all it has to do is wave its tail.

401
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:15,120
Under normal conditions, when the tail is moved in one direction, the head should be pushed in the other direction with equal force.

402
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:20,120
Yet this is not what happens.

403
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:25,120
Fish's bodies have been created in such a way as to eliminate this effect.

404
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:34,120
At the same time during movement, a vertical force acts on the head.

405
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:46,120
All this causes the oscillation of the fish's head in the water to be less than that of its tail.

406
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:53,120
This difference enables the fish to move forward through the water.

407
00:22:53,120 --> 00:23:03,120
How quickly the fish moves forward depends on how rapidly its fin moves to the right and left of the axis passing through its backbone.

408
00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:09,120
The speed increases as the fin nears the axis and decreases as it moves away.

409
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:20,120
Just how efficient is this system?

410
00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:33,120
Observations have revealed that when a fish that's hanging immobile in the water, once frightened, is able to move at a very high speed.

411
00:23:33,120 --> 00:23:44,120
From a complete rest, some small fish can reach their top speed in as little as 1 20th of a second.

412
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:49,120
They can produce a propulsive force up to four times their own weight.

413
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:00,120
There's an additional point that we mustn't ignore.

414
00:24:04,120 --> 00:24:10,120
Fish exhibit this impressive performance in water, whose resistance is higher than that of air.

415
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:19,120
Bearing that in mind, you can see just what a superior performance this is.

416
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:24,120
And some species of fish exhibit it even against the current.

417
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:29,120
Salmon are definitely the most excellent example of this.

418
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:42,120
Salmon reaching the sea can spawn, and thus ensure the survival of subsequent generations,

419
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:49,120
only by reaching the same river where they were hatched, and laying their eggs there.

420
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:57,120
In order to reach their spawning grounds, therefore, salmon have to constantly swim up river, against the current.

421
00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:04,120
They also have to overcome waterfalls that stand in their way,

422
00:25:04,120 --> 00:25:12,120
and often must leap up to four meters forward, and two meters above the water's surface.

423
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:24,120
During these leaps, salmon leave the water at a speed of 24 kilometers an hour.

424
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:30,120
The impact at the end of such a leap would be fatal to many creatures.

425
00:25:31,120 --> 00:25:36,120
But after such falls, salmon continue on their way unharmed.

426
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:44,120
Did they not possess muscular and skeletal systems capable of making such leaps,

427
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:47,120
they would of course be unable to survive.

428
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:57,120
We know that fish do not move forwards only.

429
00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:04,120
They cannot survive without being able to move up and down.

430
00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:11,120
This problem is overcome with another structure that God created in them.

431
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:15,120
Thanks to the swim bladders in fish's bodies,

432
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:23,120
they are able to sink to the bottom or rise up to the surface.

433
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:36,120
When a fish descends to the depths, the physical effects of the water on it change.

434
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:48,120
It adapts to different conditions at these various depths by reducing or increasing the amount of air in its swim bladder.

435
00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:57,120
In addition, fish's centers of gravity are generally positioned so as to pass their swim bladders.

436
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:04,120
In this way, in the event that it loses its balance,

437
00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:10,120
only very small movements of its fins are needed to restore the fish to its desired position.

438
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:18,120
Most fish are covered in a very resistant skin,

439
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:23,120
consisting of an upper and a lower layer.

440
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:30,120
The upper contains glands that secrete mucus,

441
00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:38,120
whose slippery or sticky texture helps reduce friction to a minimum

442
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:41,120
as the fish moves through the water.

443
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:46,120
This permits fish to move faster.

444
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:55,120
Moreover, this slippery property makes it harder for predators to hold onto the fish if they seize it,

445
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:59,120
while also protecting it against far tinier predators,

446
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:03,120
in the form of infectious microbes and microscopic organisms.

447
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:09,120
In their outer skins, fish also have a keratin-like layer that prevents water entering the body

448
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:17,120
and maintains a stable balance between the pressure inside the fish's body and that in its external environment.

449
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:31,120
Were it not for this layer, water would enter the fish's innards and cause its death.

450
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:41,120
As we have seen, many systems must coexist in order to facilitate fish's movement through water.

451
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:49,120
The structures and functions of these systems are entirely different from and independent of one another,

452
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,120
yet any one is of no use without all the others,

453
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,120
and any deficiency will spell death for the animal.

454
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:05,120
For example, the mucus fluid must maintain specific levels of slipperiness and stickiness,

455
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:11,120
and at the same time, must also have antimicrobial properties.

456
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:19,120
The fact that all these conditions are met, and not in an enormous chemical plant,

457
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:26,120
but in a layer just a few millimeters thick, under the fish's skin, is a definite miracle.

458
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,120
These features, requiring great knowledge and skill,

459
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,120
are just some of the proofs that God has created all these species of fish.

460
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:44,120
God reveals the infinite nature of his might in verses.

461
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,120
Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to him.

462
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:02,120
Everything is obedient to him, the originator of the heavens and earth.

463
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,120
When he decides on something, he just says to it,

464
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,120
Be, and it is.

465
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:44,120
Imagine yourself in a huge crowd, standing shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of people.

466
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,120
Everyone wants to move at random, to right and left, constantly,

467
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,120
and what's more, in pitch darkness.

468
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,120
Could you move without bumping into anyone else?

469
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,120
Of course not.

470
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:05,120
These movements, quite impossible for us, are easy for fish.

471
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:12,120
Because they have been created with a sensory system known as the lateral line,

472
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,120
which consists of points, or dotted lines, stretching along both sides of the body.

473
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,120
Sensory cells are located in a canal beneath the skin.

474
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:27,120
The fish immediately determines the slightest change in external pressure.

475
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:38,120
Eddies in the water, the strength and direction of the current, all thanks to these lateral lines.

476
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:47,120
It can therefore perceive the presence of an enemy, or an obstacle before it sees it.

477
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:53,120
It can locate prey, or predators, and find its way in the water currents.

478
00:31:54,120 --> 00:32:01,120
The lateral lines are particularly sensitive to low-frequency vibrations nearby.

479
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:12,120
So fish can instantly detect footsteps along the shore, or a predator driving under the surface of the water, and take appropriate evasive precautions.

480
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,120
Nearby objects reflect the waves reaching them.

481
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:26,120
In this way, the ripples that return after a wave strikes the shore reach the fish's body at very narrow intervals.

482
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:37,120
Thanks to its lateral lines, the fish analyzes these time differentials, and forms an image of its surroundings from the information thus obtained.

483
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:47,120
To obtain more information, the fish can simply swim faster, and give rise to more waves.

484
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:54,120
The system functions so perfectly, as to let fish perform a highly detailed scan.

485
00:32:54,120 --> 00:33:12,120
For example, in order to be able to see in the totally pitch dark water in which it lives, the Mexican blind cave fish is totally dependent on its lateral lines.

486
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,120
Despite having no eyes, it can detect objects smaller than a pinhead.

487
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:29,120
Fish swimming in large schools, particularly in muddy waters with low visibility, make use of their lateral lines in order to maneuver quickly without bumping into each other.

488
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:50,120
These sensory organs have a very complex structure, and it's of course impossible for such a system to form by chance, gradually, over the course of eons.

489
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:57,120
The system has to emerge all at once, if fish are to survive.

490
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:16,120
This clearly supports the fossil record, revealing that fish did not come into being by evolving through gradual changes, as evolutionists claim, but when God created them, flawless and perfect.

491
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,120
This may in which mamy two times, change the percyon normals were to permanently hang onto land.

00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,840
If evolutionists need to show that one species turned into another,

494
00:34:59,340 --> 00:35:04,400
then they need to produce evidence in the form of fossils of intermediate forms

495
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,540
that show these different species allegedly evolving into one another.

496
00:35:08,540 --> 00:35:25,540
Any theory that maintains that jellyfish developed into fish,

497
00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:30,160
fish into reptiles, and reptiles into birds and mammals,

498
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,540
must unearth fossils to demonstrate that this actually occurred.

499
00:35:34,540 --> 00:35:43,500
Darwin admitted as much, but wrote that there must be countless specimens of such fossils,

500
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,820
although none were actually available at the time.

501
00:35:46,820 --> 00:35:57,340
Yet in the intervening 150 years, no intermediate form has been discovered.

502
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:04,260
There are some 100 million fossils from all over the world in thousands of museums and collections.

503
00:36:04,260 --> 00:36:13,740
Each of these belongs to a species separated from every other by definitive features and unique structures.

504
00:36:14,740 --> 00:36:21,120
No fossils of half-fish, semi-amphibians, half-dinosaur, half-birds,

505
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:27,660
or half-ape, half-humans of the kind sought by evolutionists have ever been found.

506
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:33,220
The evolutionist fossil expert Derek W. Ager admits as such.

507
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:41,600
The point emerges that if we examine the fossil record in detail,

508
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,760
whether at the level of orders or of species,

509
00:36:45,260 --> 00:36:49,200
we find, over and over again, not gradual evolution,

510
00:36:49,660 --> 00:36:54,260
but the sudden explosion of one group at the expense of another.
