The Fossil Record - ChristianAnswers. All the different, basic kinds of animals appear abruptly and fully functional in the strata - with no proof of ancestors. Evolution requires intermediate forms between species and paleontology does not provide them. Darwin was embarrassed by the fossil record. It contains no proof for macroevolution of animals.
Plants appear abruptly, too.
I still think that to the unprejudiced, the fossil record of plants is in favor of special creation. Contrary to common belief, most fossils are not of extinct types of animals. It is said there are many more living species of animals than there are types known only as fossils. Evolutionary history is supposed to be filled with temporary, intermediate stages of Evolution, from amoeba to man. There is a continuing lack of evidence for Evolution despite an enormous number of fossils.
