many as 100. ... Why, in subsequent periods of great evolutionary activity when countless species, genera, and families arose, have there been no new animal body plans produced, no new phyla? 1 Evidence of gradualism between phyla, classes and even orders is either non-existent or is much disputed. Certainly, no pervasive pattern of gradualism exists. .... This is true of all thirty-two orders of mammals...The earliest and most primitive known members of every order already have the basic ordinal characters, and in no case is an approximately continuous sequence from one order to another known. In most cases the break is so sharp and the gap so large that the origin of the order is speculative and much disputed... This regular absence of transitional forms is not confined to mammals, but is an almost universal phenomenon, as has long been noted by paleontologists. It is true of almost all classes of animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate...it is true of the classes, and of the major animal phyla, and it is apparently also true of analogous categories of plants. 2 The gaps in the fossil record are real, however. The absence of a record of any important branching is quite phenomenal. Species are usually static, or nearly so, for long periods, species seldom and genera never show evolution into new species or genera but replacement of one by another, and change is more or less abrupt. 3 You see, the fossil record agrees with what the Book of Genesis says, both animals and plants were created in a great variety of different forms from the beginning. There was no Universal Common Ancestor except in the sick imagination of Darwin. There was never an evolution 1 Lewin, R. Science, vol. 241, 15 July, p. 291 (1988) 2 Simpson, G. G.

from one species to another, all forms of animals and plants that we see today and even the ones that became extinct, came into being suddenly and with no predecessors. The thing that amazes me is that the bankrupt Theory of evolution is still taught in our schools today. THE CREATION OF MAN: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Ge 1:26-27 When God said “let us” in the plural, it was not the “royal” plural but rather to give us an indication of the Trinity. Man’s creation was different from the creation of other animals. Man was created in the image and likeness of God. Man was created to have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. You see, God has dominion over the universe, and to man, created in God’s image, He gave dominion over the earth. That is why, in the Liturgy of Saint Gregory, we are told: “Thou hast wrought in me the image of Thine authority.” Note that God created both man and woman in His own image. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Ge 1:28-31) 78
