In his words "It is doubtful whether, in the absence of fossils, the idea of evolution would represent anything more than an outrageous hypothesis" (S. M. Stan-ley, The New Evo-lu-ti-onary Timetable Fos-sils, Genes and the Origins of Species, New York: Basic Books, Inc., 1981, p. 72.), S. M. Stanley from Johns Hopkins University reveals the significance of the fossil record for the theory of evolution. As you have seen, leading evolutionists admit that the deficient nature of the fossil record poses a problem for their theory. The 95-million-year-old guitarfish pictured is one of the examples confirming Professor Stanley"s confession. (Ibid.)
