Video Presentation by Dr. John Morris, who received his Ph.D. in geological engineering from the University of Oklahoma and is President of the Institute for Creation Research in Dallas, Texas. Evolution relies on, depends on, and believes in the “evolutionary story” of the fossil record.
Several key facts punch holes in that foundation—the extreme rarity of transitional forms, stasis in the record, a sudden appearance of complex animal and plant forms, and gaps between species. Discuss the supposed origins of fish, bats, fleas, flies, birds, dragonflies, marine reptiles, whales, and, finally, humans.
The Fossil Record: Devastating Evidence & A Problem for Evolution
Compare the evolutionary scenario to the creation scenario in which each type was created by a supreme Creator separately and fully formed, just as it is found in the fossil record. Conclude with a summary of the real fossil record and its record of death and extinction.
Dr. John Morris of the Institute for Creation Research was the keynote speaker. His topic was the fossil record and how it proves evolution is false.
The combination of Morris’ training and experience in geology and Sherwin’s expertise in zoology has resulted in this beautiful and persuasive book on The Fossil Record.
What does the fossil record indicate for creation or evolution? What does the evidence say?
There are some evolutionists who, while defending evolution, do admit that the fossil record provides adequate evidence to determine which has the strongest evidence, creation or evolution. Thus, evolutionists Glenister and Witzke state that “the fossil record affords an opportunity to choose between evolutionary and creationist models for the origin of the earth and its life forms.1
Futuyma expressed a similar belief when he said:
Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible explanations for the origin of living things. Organisms either appeared on the earth fully developed or they did not. If they did not, they must have developed from pre-existing species by some process of modification. If they did appear in a fully developed state, they must have been created by some omnipotent intelligence.2
