^""^ ZOOGENESIS '^^'^ 



there was an enormous lapse of time between the first 

 appearance of life and the period wherein are found 

 the earliest fossil remains. So it is easier to believe 

 that life gradually developed from simpler to more 

 complex forms than that the major groups arose 

 simultaneously." 



The answer to this is that science is based upon 

 ascertained facts. We take the facts as we find them 

 and coordinate them into broad generalizations. The 

 facts are that all of the fossils, even the very earliest 

 of them, fall into existing major groups. This is 

 indisputable.
