and then disappear." As Harvard's Stephen Jay Gould put it: "Most species exhibit no directional change during their tenure on earth. Boyce Rensberger, reporting comments by Niles Eldredge, noted: "Species simply appear at a given point in geologic time, persist largely unchanged. Throughout the geologic layers-which supposedly formed over eons-the various kinds of fossils remain essentially unchanged in appearance. As to Archaeopteryx's tail, further inspection has shown it strongly resembles a swan's. Furthermore, some reptiles, such as turtles, have no teeth-they aren't a distinct reptilian trademark. Archaeopteryx had teeth, but so did some other fossil birds, and its teeth differed distinctly from those of reptiles. It had claws on its wings, but so does the ostrich. New discoveries have demonstrated that Archaeopteryx was a true bird. Evolutionists often equate similarities to relationships. The extinct bird Archaeopteryx, found in the same geologic strata as dinosaurs, was considered ancestral to modern birds. No one has accepted the challenge, and of course a fossil of such a creature has not been found and never will be. I have repeatedly asked evolutionists to describe or draw the skeleton of a creature of which the pelvis and hind legs are anatomically midway between the state that prevails in whales and sea cows on the one hand and a land quadruped on the other. Such movement is impossible in a land animal that has a pelvis, but a well-developed pelvis is essential to every land animal which uses its hind legs for walking. But British author Douglas Dewar, a fellow of the Zoological Society, noted: "Both whales and sea cows swim by the up and down movement of the great flattened tail. To account for the oddity of oceanic mammals (whales, sea cows and dolphins), evolutionists say they evolved from fish to land creatures, then went back to the sea again. There are fossils that have been labeled "mammal-like reptiles," but since they are all extinct, we cannot examine their soft tissues. But how many dinosaur ancestors occur in the fossil record? Not one, even though they supposedly roamed Earth for 165 million years. " But in Darwin's lifetime nothing improved, and he lamented: "When we descend to details, we cannot prove that a single species has changed."įrom Barney to Jurassic Park, dinosaurs have become a hot item. He explained that "Only a small portion of the surface of the earth has been geologically explored. The explanation lies, as I believe, in the extreme imperfection of the geological record." Darwin hoped more time and excavations would yield fossils supporting his theory. He noted in The Origin of Species: "Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? This, perhaps, is the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against the theory. Yet we do not find them! All organisms appear in the fossil record fully formed, without transitional stages. If true, there should be innumerable fossils of fish with rudimentary arms and legs. Darwinism claims fish transformed into land animals by evolving little arms and legs over eons. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.Thus the fossil record should depict evolution's history: organisms progressing through their stages of development. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. The fee for a Certified Copy of Texas Title is an additional 2.00 (see Certified. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The application fee for a Salvage or Nonrepairable Vehicle Title is 8.00. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.įor printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.įor PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. These products were created by scanning an original printed edition.
