Hello. Today we are in the presence of a 125-million-year-old Russian sturgeon fossil.

00:24.560 --> 00:31.440
These sturgeons are currently faced with extinction and are only found in the Gulf of Mersin,

00:31.440 --> 00:38.720
from which they take their Turkish name Mersin fish. The fish have moved there in recent years

00:38.720 --> 00:44.240
since they prefer high quality and very clean water. That is why they are also, unfortunately,

00:44.240 --> 00:49.600
rapidly becoming extinct today. Since pollution levels in the world's rivers and seas are rising

00:49.600 --> 00:55.840
all the time, these animals have come to the point of extinction. Evolutionists try to suggest that

00:55.840 --> 01:01.440
the extinction among various life forms is evidence of evolution. For example, they think that the

01:01.440 --> 01:06.560
disappearance of the dinosaurs some 60 million years ago in some way significantly supports the

01:06.560 --> 01:14.320
idea of evolution. Take this 125-million-year-old Russian sturgeon fossil. How do we know it belongs

01:14.320 --> 01:21.040
to a Russian sturgeon? We can compare it to life forms living today. We look at their fins and skull

01:21.040 --> 01:26.640
anatomy and body structure. One characteristic of sturgeons, for example, is that they have four

01:26.640 --> 01:32.560
whiskers beneath their heads in the region of their mouths. And when paleontologists carefully examine

01:32.560 --> 01:39.440
this fossil, they also see these whiskers in just the right place in these fossil remains. We can also

01:39.440 --> 01:45.360
see a protrusion here. This life form is still living today, but its numbers are declining rapidly.

01:46.080 --> 01:51.600
It has been included in conservation programs, but unless other measures are also taken, the Russian

01:51.600 --> 01:58.480
sturgeon will soon become extinct. This has nothing to do with evolution, because we see no difference

01:58.480 --> 02:05.840
between this fossil and living specimens. It has to do with pollution. The fins, its symmetrical structure,

02:05.840 --> 02:12.240
its backbone structure, everywhere in its body and its habitat, all exhibit the appropriate characteristics.

02:15.920 --> 02:20.320
But the animal cannot survive in the wrong habitat when its habitat is excessively polluted.

02:21.440 --> 02:25.040
It will become extinct unless measures are taken to clean up its environment

02:25.040 --> 02:27.360
and join other living things that have become extinct.

02:27.360 --> 02:38.800
Today's fossil is a 125 million year old Russian sturgeon and, like the other 400 million fossils that have been unearthed,

02:38.800 --> 02:43.760
it has survived down to the present day with not even a single whisker being altered,

02:43.760 --> 02:48.800
and thus represents proof of Allah's instantaneous and flawless creation.

02:57.360 --> 03:26.240
