Phyla: The Most Distinct Categories

Richard Monastersky:A half-billion years ago, the remarkably complex forms of animals we see today Suddenly appeared. This moment, right at the start of the Earth's Cambrian Period, some 530 million years ago, marks the evolutionary explosion that filled the seas with the earth's first complex creatures. The large animal phyla of today were present already in the early Cambrian and they were as distinct from each other as they are today.Richard Monastersky, "Mysteries of the Orient, Discover, April 1993, p. 40.

The animal fossil record more resembles such a cone turned upside down, with the phyla present at the start and thereafter decreasing.

THE TRILOBITE FOSSIL

The trilobites used an optimal design which would require a well trained and imaginative optical engineer to develop today.

David Raup, "Conflicts Between Darwin and Paleontology", Bulletin, Field Museum of Natural History, Vol 50, p. 24.

Richard Dawkins:The Cambrian strata of rocksare the oldest ones in which we find most of the major invertebrate groups. And we find many of them already in an advanced state of evolution, the very first time they appear. It is as though they were just planted there, without any evolutionary history.

Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker, London, 1986, p. 229.

Why, if species have descended from other species by fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? As by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?This difficulty for a long time quite confounded me. Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, The Modern Library, New York, p. 124-125.

Robert Carroll:

Despite more than a hundred years of intense collecting efforts since the time of Darwins death, the fossil record still does not yield the picture of infinitely numerous transitional links that he expectedMost groups appear to originate and diversify over geologically very short durations, and to persist for much longer periods without major morphological change.

Beware of the icons!

ICON 1Haeckels Embryos

The impression [Haeckels drawings] give, that the embryos are exactly alike, is wrong, says Michael Richardson, The embryos often looked surprisingly different.Not only did Haeckel add or omit features, but he also fudged the scale to exaggerate similarities among species, even when there were 10-fold differences in size. In reality, even closely related embryos such as those of fish vary quite a bit in their appearance and developmental pathway... It looks like it's turning out to be one of the most famous fakes in biology Richardson concludes.Elizabeth Pennisi, "Haeckel's Embryos: Fraud Rediscovered, Science, 5 September, 1997

ICON 2PepperedMothsBernard Kettlewell

Evolution experts are quitely admitting that one of their most cherished examples of Charles Darwin's theory, the rise and fall of the peppered moth, is based on a series of scientific blunders. Experiments using the moth in the 1950's and long believed to prove the truth of natural selection are now thought to be worthless, having been designed to come up with the right answer. Scientists now admit that they do not know the real explanation for the fate of Biston betularia, whose story is recounted in almost every textbook on evolution.

ICON 3Vestigial Organs

Since it is not possible to unambiguously identify useless structures, and since the structureof the argument used is not scientifically valid, I conclude that vestigial organs provide no special evidence for the theory of evolution.

Bernard Wood:

When I went to medical school in 1963, human evolution looked like a ladder. The ladder stepped from monkey to man through a progression of intermediates, each slightly less ape-like than the last. Now human evolution looks like a bush. We have a menagerie of fossil hominids... How they are related to each other and which, if any of them, are human forebears is still debated.

?Why do scientists believe in evolution

There's no doubt about it, that in the past, and I think also in the present, for many evolutionists, evolution has functioned as something with elements which are, let us say, akin to being a secular religion... And it seems to me very clear that at some very basic level, evolution as a scientific theory makes a commitment to a kind of naturalism.

Michael Ruse, "Nonliteralist Antievolution, AAAS Symposium: The New Antievolutionism, Boston, February 13, 1993

And Allah has created from water every living creature: some of them walk upon its belly, and some of them walk upon two feet, and some of them walk upon four.Allah creates what He pleases; surely Allah has power over all things.

(Holy Quran, 24:45)
