- One more quote from Dr. Duane T. Gish.
-
- I forgot this little gem:
-
- CLAIM #3: "The alleged horse series was created more out of
- imagination than from fossil evidence. The fossils for this series
- are not found in the proper time sequence as indicated by the
- evolutionist, and the major types _appear abrubtly_ without
- transitions. And there is an interesting discrepancy in the skeletal
- development of this series. [Visual showing Eohippus with 18 pairs of
- ribs, Orohippus with 15 pairs of ribs, Pliohippus with 19 pairs of
- ribs, and Equus scotti with 18 pairs of ribs]"
-
- Ignoring for now that he skipped several species (and several
- million years) between Orohippus and Pliohippus, does anybody know
- what he is talking about in that second sentence? (The first sentence
- appears to be a conclusion drawn from the assertion in the second
- sentence.) The author/editor/publisher/whoever conveniently neglected
- to cite a source for the claim that the fossils are "not found in the
- proper time sequence." Anyone have any sources they can recommend that might shed
- some light on the truth or lack thereof of this assertion?
