A fossil is formed when a living thing is trapped by mud, clay, or
sand. Evolutionists claim the fossil records prove the Theory of
Evolution, while Creationists say the fossils prove creation.
An animal must be trapped quickly to die and become a fossil. If one
dies and remains on the ground, it will rot or be eaten by other
animals before it becomes a fossil. Local landslides and floods can
explain some fossils, but what about fossils in places where those
don't often occur? The World Book Encyclopedia says that fossils are
found in almost every state in the United States. A worldwide flood
such as the one in the Bible could explain fossils.
The Theory of Evolution requires that there be links from a species to
a more complex one. These are called "transition fossils,"
but none have been found. Many evolutionists cite a reptile-like bird
fossil called Archeopteryx as proof of Evolution. This animal had some
features of a reptile: clawlike growths on the front edges of it wings,
a backbone extending along its tail, and a jaw with teeth instead of a
beak. In addition, it lacked a large wingspan and a breastbone where
birds' flight muscles are attached. Archeopteryx also had bird-like
features: wings, feathers, a birdlike skull, and a wishbone.
Why is Archeopteryx not evidence of Evolution? A genuine transition
fossil should have some partially formed features. Archeopteryx's
wings were definitely wings, not a cross between wings and legs. It
also had perfectly formed feathers, not feathers which appeared to be
in the process of changing into something else. Is Archeopteryx a
transition fossil? No.
