 Fourth in the litany of Creationist complaints, there is a perennial favourite based on paleontology. Creationists agree that the fossil record is sequential, fish to primates moving upwards, but argue that this is the result of the sorting effect of the Flood. Primates are above dinosaurs, for example, because primates are more agile and moved further up the mountain before being caught and drowning. They also argue, however, that the fossil record ought to be continuous if evolution occurred, but in real life there are many gaps between different form – jumps from one kind of organism to another. Apes to humans would be a case in point. This spells Creation not evolution. To which the response comes that on the one hand one expects such gaps. Fossilization is an uncommon occurrence – most dead bodies get eaten straight away or just rot – and the wonder is that we have what we do have. On the other hand argue evolutionists, the record is not that gappy. There are lots of good sequences – lines of fossils with little difference between adjacent forms, from the amphibians to the mammals for example, or (in more detail) the evolution of the horse from Eohippus on five toes to the modern horse on one toe. Moreover, in refutation of Creationism, we do not find fossils out of order as you might expect after a flood. For all that Creationists sometimes claim otherwise, humans are never found down with the dinosaurs. Those brutes of old expired long before we appeared on the scene and the fossil record confirms this.
