Evolution or Creation?
"Evolution" of the Horse
Horse fossils have been used for years by naturalists to “prove” evolution. However:
A complete
series of these horses in the correct order has never been found in any rock anywhere
in the world.
B. The sequence of small toes to big-toed horses does not exist
in the fossil record.
C. The teeth of the animals found are either grazing
or browsing types. There are no transitional types of teeth.
D. Two modern
horses are found in the fossil record at the same level as the earliest types.
Horse evolution is now a discredited theory.[34]
An uninformed person might argue that intermediate forms appear in the evolution of the modern horse. Though long since thrown out as a simplistic construction, it still appears enough times in modern textbooks to create confusion. Consider the following quotes:[11]
French paleontologist and evolutionist Dr. C. Deperet: "The supposed pedigree of the Equidae (horses, asses, zebras) is a deceitful delusion which . . . in no way enlightens us on the paleontological origin of the Horse."[11]
Swedish evolutionist Professor N. Heribert Nilsson agrees: "The construction of the whole Cenozoic family tree of the horse is a very artificial one, since it is put together from non- equivalent parts, and cannot therefore be a continuous transformation series."[11]
Evolutionist Dr. George Gaylord Simpson debunks the simplistic constructions that appeared in our science textbooks: "The uniform, continuous transformation of Hyracotherium into Equus, so dear to the heart of generations of textbook writers, never happened in nature."[11]
So the most touted example of evolution, one with claimed fossil evidence of intermediate forms, comes up empty.
