Archaeopteryx harbored certain characteristics unlike those of
today's birds. Darwinists used the teeth in its jaw, claws onits wings
and long tail astools for speculation andthe bird was hastily compared
to reptiles and heralded, in the absence of any scientific foundation,
as a reptile-bird transitional form.
But this claim was a terrible deception.
Soon after Darwinists had mythologized Archaeopteryx as a false
transitional form, the fossil bones were examined in detail, and it
emerged that this life form was not in fact a "primitive bird"
exhibiting an imaginary passage from reptiles to birds, that its
skeleton and feather structure were actually ideally suited to flight,
and that the features compared to those of reptiles were actually to
be found in birds that had lived in the past and even in some that
were still alivetoday. The pro-Darwinistjournal Science openly stated
this fact:
Archaeopteryx probably cannot tell us much about the early origins of
feathers and flight in true protobirds because Archaeopteryx was, in a
modern sense, a bird." 1
Archaeopteryx is a mosaic life form containing characteristics from
different species. Mosaic forms interest scientists with their complex
structures and are described as living things harboring features
belonging to various species. The deception that Darwinists
perpetrated regarding Archaeopteryx stems from the fact the fossil
belongs to a mosaic form. The fact is, however, that like all thelife
forms in existence today, mosaic organismsare complex examples
ofCreation. The French biophysicist Pierre Lecomte du Nouy makes this
admission on the subject:
We are not even authorized to consider the exceptional case of the
Archaeopteryx as a true link. By link, we mean a necessary stage of
transition between classes such as reptiles and birds, or between
smaller groups. An animal displaying characters belonging to two
different groups cannot be treated as a true link as long as the
intermediary stages have not been found, and as long as the mechanisms
of transition remain unknown. 2
Many Darwinist circles have actually made that admission. Two of the
20th century's best known Darwinists, Stephen Jay Gould and Niles
Eldredge, who were responsible for thepunctuated evolution deception,
also agree that Archaeopteryx cannot be regarded as a transitional
form. 3 Jonathan Wells admits the fact that the fossil does not
constitute evidence for evolution and that scientific circleshave
agreed this in the words "The world's mostbeautiful fossil, the
specimen Ernst Mayr called 'the almost perfectlink between reptiles
and birds,' has been quietly shelved, and the search for missing
links continues as though Archaeopteryx had neverbeen found." 4 But
the interesting thing is that although Darwinists scientists have made
that confession, efforts are still made to depict the Archaeopteryx
fossil as a transitional form in Darwinist publications. Jonathan
Wells sets out the position:
Some biology textbooks continue to present Archaeopteryx as the
classic example of missing link. Mader's 1998 Biology calls it "a
transitional link between reptiles and birds," and William Schraer and
Herbert Stolte's 1999 Biology : The Study of Life tells students that
"many scientists believe it represents an evolutionary link between
reptiles and birds. 5
There can be no doubt that this stems from a desire to persist in this
huge fraud. Because Darwinists are unable to abandon their theories in
the absence of any transitional forms, they instead try to produce
false ones. That explains the desperate and fraudulent attempts to
keep Archaeopteryx on the agenda.
