The
author presents a persuasive argument as he examines the theory of evolution
and compares it to the fossil record of birds, elephants, tigers, sharks,
starfishes, squid – octopi, turtles and spiders, to support his study. He deals deftly with a controversial subject
while presenting a hypothesis to emphasize his strong beliefs; a hypothesis,
which some will enthusiastically accept as genius, while nay Sayers shall depict
it as implausible.

INTRODUCTION and
PURPOSE
I have considered the
evolution of man. This is what I am doing about it. If I can be shown the
fossil record of, say, ten animals’ development from one-celled animals or
micro-organisms up to their present development via an unbroken chain — or
clearly enough to safely assume so — then it wouldn’t be too much for
them to assume that mankind got on earth by way of the same process as did
those ten animals. If something else is indicated by this study, it will be
clarified. The basis for investigating any animal’s history will herein be the
fossil record.
Now
that I have outlined my intended purpose and technique, I proceed directly to
the first animal.
(1) Honey Bees -- Originated on earth
180 million years ago and have remained unchanged ever since. They arrived as a
fully developed hive.
(2) The Kangaroo — The fact of the
matter is that little or nothing is known about the history of the kangaroo. It
is a mystery. The fossil record says that it arrived so recently on earth so as
not to have made a history via the fossil record — or too few kangaroos ever
lived so as to leave a traceable history or inference based on fossils or more
recent bones.
Footnote: Have you made up your mind
prematurely?
Archaeopteryx remains central to all discussions on bird origins because it is unique in being the oldest known complete fossil bird, feathers and all. Archaeopteryx originated here are no magical, fantastic expressions of one-celled animals or microorganisms up to the present development of today’s birds (either today’s, that is, or the development or ancient birds). What is known is this: birds appeared suddenly and flourished some 100 million years ago, had feathers — not scales — and they were the lineage (evidently) down to the present day.
A pattern is forming. An animal is traceable via
the fossil record several million years ago (very many million years ago)
and prior to that the fossil record indicates a total blank, i.e., no fossil
progenitors indicating any kind of life before (that resembled such life in
any fashion). It is termed “a mystery.” Speculation has it that such fossils
will be found. Fact has it that no such
ever were.
ELEPHANTS
Among the first elephants
was (the oldest) the Moeritherium. It stood about three feet tall, had four feet and, except for the absence of a trunk, could be
imagined to be an ancient elephant. It lived about 40-60 million years ago, and
according to the fossil record, was the first elephant. Since that time, about 350 different kinds of elephants have existed to the present day. It
is to be noted emphatically that moeretherium had no progenitor. There were
other kinds of elephants that arrived at different times — all independent of moeretherium
— and they all looked differently.
For the sake of chronology, Moeritherium was the
first; yes, several many kinds of
elephants “sprang into existence independently.”
The main
point is that the first elephants arrived fully developed, without progenitor,
and were not the culmination of an unbroken chain of
biological events. The pattern is reinforced
here. Elephants traceable to the first and before that — a total blank fossil record — indeed, that it
did not happen that way is preposterous.
Let
us investigate seven more animals and see if any underlying pattern continues to present itself.
*Moeritherium: was the first elephant
chronologically.
“Another theory of tigrine orgins speculates on a common ancestor for the lion, leopard and tiger. Tigers, lions, jaguars and leopards are members of Panthera.” “The evolution and spread of Panthera, Tigris itself is fraught with confusion and disagreement.” “Where did they come from in the first place?” Speculation – It is impossible to be substantiated by fossil record because no clear (fossil) history of the tiger is known.
Indeed, it is a safer
assumption to make to make that of the following species, those kinds which
arrived here on earth later got here by the same process as did their close look-alikes,
if any contemporaries, i.e., by sudden appearance, that is, without any
progenitor.
A break for a comment: Doesn’t it seem rather
strange to find the above information? Evolution makes sense but the fossil
record indicates the exact opposite.
Back to the study...
Cladoselache
-The fossil of this (over 350 million years old) hunter are the earliest
shark remains now known. At the very least, Cladoselache underscores the fact
that sharks have not changed much. The shark was 4-5 feet long and so essentially shank-like that if an angler were
to hook and haul one up today, he would probably recognize it as a shark and not a very ancient one at that. So, the
first sharks suddenly appeared on the earth as fully developed, complete, complex
animals.
Speculation: From where did Cladoselache come? What answer could there be to this? A total blank — absence of fossils is what the earth — science shows. How does this fit in with previous paleontology? This excerpt is now beginning to display a common underlying cord of knowledge. Let us see what the next few animals’ history is (if at all) related to this.
STARFISHES
One assumes that starfishes existed as complete organisms by at least 600 million years ago. The fossil record shows this, however, pre-Cambrian fossils are not available.
So, the origins of
starfishes are still a mystery. Can one refute it? By 600 million years ago
starfishes, complete with all internal organs, appeared. The fossil record
again is not available, or should I say, “No animals existed to be fossilized.”
At least investigation bears out so far that the various genera “Sprang into
existence, fully developed, with no apparent history.”
Squid fishes and Octopi and
other cephalopods’ lineage dates back over 70-400 million years ago. And it was
said of their beginnings, “The origins of bi-values probably occurred some time after the early Cambrian
(500 million years ago).” When other mollusks were also becoming evident, is
shrouded by mystery, another species with a history dating back so far, and
then nothing. From what I could find, I haven't the vaguest idea when these
originated. I simply don't believe they
came from anything.
The first unquestionable turtles arrived about 190 million years ago. But despite the numerous primitive features of these early representatives, they shed little light on the evolution of the order of Testudines’ presumed cotylosaurian ancestors.
Hence, the facts again the opposite of the
evolution theory — and it is just a theory.
Note: Little
light is shed on a happening that did not happen. The facts again show no light can be shed (of course).
Concluding the investigation I should express my findings of spiders by this appraisal of the ten animals I have investigated.
A unifying cord for each species is that, at quite some time ago, whatever the animal was, it “sprang into existence.” This contradicts in all often species investigated my original assumption that I might be able to follow the fossil history of each one from lowly beginnings as a one-celled animal or micro-organism up to its present development via an unbroken chain of biological events.
Having contradicted my
original assumptions, I find the opposite is indicated. What can I surmise from
my findings?
I guess the
following happened per the fossil record:
The SPANISH:
“Sprang into existence, language and all.”
The ENGLISH:
“Sprang into existence, language and all.”
The
CHINESE:
“Sprang into existence,
language and all.”
Another Race:
“Arose from nowhere, new language and all.”
SIGNIFICANT
DOCUMENT
The Theory of Evolution Makes Sense, but that is Not what the fossil record indicates. My own opinion based on the fossil Record of other animals is an educated guess. It looks like (what I see around me) two people of each major race suddenly appeared on the scene and all of their offspring descended from them.
Well, what else fits the
data?
I reject evolution via the above investigation. (I was on the verge of accepting it until I made this startling study)
