WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:26.440 Hello. Today we are looking at a 4.9 million year old red wolf skull. Red wolves are a species whose 00:26.440 --> 00:31.620 number have declined enormously and are today on the brink of extinction. They are most commonly 00:31.620 --> 00:38.360 found today in North America. This fossil comes from China and it's 4.9 million years old. It is 00:38.360 --> 00:44.740 quite an old fossil. It was only recently realized that this red wolf species is a different species 00:44.740 --> 00:52.160 to the regular or gray wolf and other wolf species. Scientists now recognize the red wolf as a 00:52.160 --> 00:58.500 separate species, particularly as a result of advances in genetics. Indeed, this fossil possesses 00:58.500 --> 01:06.020 typical red wolf features. It is therefore referred to as a red wolf fossil. Let us now have a careful 01:06.020 --> 01:11.980 look at its external appearance. Teeth are the strongest part of the body in all living things. 01:12.640 --> 01:18.240 Now, since this animal's teeth are very hard, they can, of course, fossilize right away. And because 01:18.240 --> 01:22.580 their structure does not decay, they are generally the best preserved feature in the skull. 01:22.580 --> 01:30.420 And teeth provide various pieces of information about a living thing species. Its species was 01:30.420 --> 01:35.220 established on the basis of its teeth belonging to the species, the canines being very sharp, 01:35.220 --> 01:40.140 the front teeth small, and the molars being sharp and also having grinding properties. 01:40.140 --> 01:47.400 But evolutionists' claims, as you know, are based on the idea that various mythological creatures, 01:47.400 --> 01:52.500 complete figments of the imagination, have lived up to the present day, particularly since the 01:52.500 --> 01:58.440 Cambrian explosion. But no fossils belonging to these mythical creatures has ever been found. 01:58.440 --> 02:04.560 They say that a huge fictitious beast was the ancestor of the wolf. But there is no difference between 02:04.560 --> 02:10.960 all the fossil wolf skulls so far discovered and specimens living today. Or, if the species in 02:10.960 --> 02:17.600 question has since become extinct, between the first and last known fossils. They all bear the same 02:17.600 --> 02:22.960 wolf characteristics and show that wolves have never been anything else than land-and-dwelling wolves. 02:22.960 --> 02:29.280 In the light of the evidence revealed by paleontology, all the members of the dog and wolf family, 02:29.280 --> 02:35.760 from red wolves to gray wolves, and from wild dogs to normal dogs, were all created in a single 02:35.760 --> 02:42.000 moment by Allah. They have not, as evolutionists maintain, come down to the present day by way of 02:42.000 --> 02:49.600 gradual changes from some other species. All fossils show us the beauty and distinct nature of Allah's creation.
