Reptiles
The
theory of evolution is also unable to account for the origin of
reptiles. The members of this specific class have appeared distinctly
without undergoing any evolutionary process. The physiological features
of reptiles are widely different from those of their alleged ancestors,
the amphibians.
Dinosaurs, lizards, turtles and crocodiles… All
of these species belong to the living class called "reptiles".
Some reptiles, such as dinosaurs, are extinct but some are still
alive.
Reptiles have particular features, such as their
bodies being covered by plate-like structures called "scales".
They are cold-blooded, which means that they cannot generate their
own body heat. That is why they need direct sunlight to warm up
their bodies. They give birth to their young by laying eggs.
THE
SEYMOURIA MISCONCEPTION
Evolutionists at one time claimed that the Seymouria
fossil (above) was a transitional form between amphibians
and reptiles. According to this scenario, Seymouria was
"the primitive ancestor of reptiles." However, subsequent
fossil discoveries showed that reptiles were living on Earth
some 30 million years before Seymouria.32
In the light of this, evolutionists had to relinquish their
claims regarding Seymouria.

TURTLES
ARE ALWAYS THE SAME
There is no difference between the ancient fossil reptiles
and their counterparts today. The 100 million-year-old sea
turtle on the left is exactly the same as its modern counterpart.

Evolutionists cannot explain how reptiles came
into being. The conventional evolutionist allegation on this issue
is that reptiles evolved from amphibians. However, there is not
a single scrap of evidence to prove this. On the contrary, an examination
of amphibians and reptiles demonstrates that there are very great
physiological differences between these two living groups and that
a half-reptile/half-amphibian has no chances of survival.
Accordingly, such a creature does not exist in
the fossil record. Renowned evolutionist paleontologist, Lewis L.
Carroll, admits this fact in his article titled "The Problem
of the Origin of Reptiles":

THE
END OF DINOSAURS
Dinosaurs were the greatest land-dwelling animals that
have ever lived. With their perfectly designed bodies, they
lived on Earth for a long time. According to a consensus among
scientists, they have become extinct because of a meteor disaster.
This phenomenon was divinely planned so as to make the Earth
fit for mammals and in particular human beings, which were
created subsequently (according to geological records).

32- Fossils
of Seymouria are found in Lower Permian rocks, dated at about 280
million years. However, the earliest known reptiles Hylonomus and
Paleothyris are found in Lower Pennsylvanian rocks and the Middle
Pennsylvanian rocks, dated at about 310-330 million years. (See Barbara
