For some
people, the very concept of natural history implies the theory
of evolution. The reason for this is the heavy propaganda
that has been carried out. Natural history museums in most
countries are under the control of materialist evolutionary
biologists, and it is they who describe the exhibits in them.
They invariably describe creatures that lived in prehistory
and their fossil remains in terms of Darwinian concepts. One
result of this is that most people think that natural history
is equivalent to the concept of evolution.
However, the facts are very different. Natural history reveals
that different classes of life emerged on the earth not through
any evolutionary process, but all at once, and with all their
complex structures fully developed right from the start. Different
living species appeared completely independently of one another,
and with no "transitional forms" between them.
In this chapter, we shall examine real natural history, taking
the fossil record as our basis.
