Make no mistake; evolutionism (by whatever name) taught as fact is in trouble. It doesn’t matter if there are 500 million Tales of a Fossil adherents. The reason the author is calling anthropology (beginning with the axiom of cognitive evolution), biology, Collector, Part 5 and paleontology to task ‘as one’ is because they all have an error in common. Even Darwin knew that the fossil record did not support evolution. In science, you simply don’t ignore what the physical evidence says . According to John Feliks paleontology’s own numbers it can be clearly seen that the fossil record is not a record of species, genera, families or orders—let alone classes or phyla—evolving one into the other. What the actual evidence shows —in mainstream terms—is thousands of well-established genera living tens to hundreds of millions of years without changing.
