Today's EFD is about fossil gaps. If the process of evolution unfolded as modern scientists say it did, then there would obviously be a gradual transition between organisms in the fossil record. The species found at the bottom should start out very simplistic. As one observes the fossils higher up in the layers, the types of species should grow continually and gradually more complex. This is not the case, however, and even evolutionists will begrudgingly admit this. To quote from the book In the Beginning by Walt Brown, Ph.D.:
"Fossil links are missing between numerous plants, between single-celled forms of life and invertebrates, among insects, between invertebrates and vertebrates, between fish and amphibians, between amphibians and reptiles, between reptiles and mammals, between reptiles and birds, between primates and other mammals, and between apes and other primates. In fact, it is not links that are missing; it is chains. The fossil record has been studied so thoroughly it is safe to conclude these gaps are real; they will never be filled."
It is obvious that there are gaps in evolutionary theory. Maybe it is poetic justice that many of those gaps are in fossil record. Check back tomorrow for discussion on the missing trunk of the evolutionary tree.
