MAYFLY

Fossils are one of the most striking proofs that evolution never occurred. When the fossil record is examined, it reveals that all living species have remained the same over millions of years, and that they never changed until and unless their species became extinct. Joel Cracraft from the American Museum of Natural History states how, according to the fossil record, there is no transition between species: ". . . [I]t should come as no surprise that it would be extremely difficult to find a specific fossil species that is both intermediate in morphology between two other taxa and is also in the appropriate stratigraphic position." (Joel Cracraft, "Systematics, Comparative Biology, and the Case against Creationism," in Scientists Confront Creationism, ed. L. R. Godfrey, New York: W. W. Norton & Co., 1983, p. 180) Cracraft"s reference to the finding of intermediate form fossils as something "extraordinarily difficult" stems from an unwillingness to come out and say, "There are no such fossils." Although he is reluctant to state this openly, the fact is that the fossils in question have never been found, and it is impossible that they will ever be unearthed in the future.
