00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
As you know very well today, hundreds of millions of fossils were unearthed from geological layers.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Many animal and plant fossils provide us scientific proofs on history of living things in great detail.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
What do the fossils tell us?

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000
With regard to what Darwin proposed in his theory, the fossil findings did not confirm what he claimed.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000
On the contrary, the characteristics of some fossils, for example those found in a Cambrian layer,

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:33,000
a layer that is described as the Cambrian explosion from a paleontological point of view, reveal a sudden appearance.

7
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
This sudden appearance is not only of different species of living organisms,

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
but also the order of more advanced systems such as the phylum.

9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
The occurrence of dozens of phyla happened instantaneously from a geological point of view.

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Therefore, there was not a gradual or progressive modification in the shape of organisms,

11
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
but a sudden appearance.

12
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:04,000
This sudden appearance, this explosion, reveals that the fact that there are no characteristics that were indicated by Darwin

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
as the explanation of the complexity and variability of living organisms.

14
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
In addition, the characteristic forms that are discovered in large beings,

15
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000
such as the complexity of the eyes in some organisms, are basically the same characteristics of today's species.

16
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
There is a real preservation of the characteristics.

17
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Indeed, the theory of evolution often describes this trend as a stasis.

18
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
That means that the forms do not change.

19
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Now, if the complexity appeared instantly and vastly, and if there were no gradual changes,

20
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
we can ask ourselves, where is evolution?
