Insect Evolution: A Major Problem For Darwinism
Jerry Bergman
Insects provide a severe challenge for Darwinian
evolution. In contrast with the vertebrate fossil
record, for example, where only bones are available,
evolutionary speculation can run wild, but the
exquisite detail of fossil insects has produced virtual
silence on this front. A review of the insect fossil
record literature reveals a complete lack of evidence
for the evolution of insects and other arthropods.
This is true in spite of an abundance of fossil insects
preserved in amber, coal, volcanic ash, tar, and other
environments dating back to the Cambrian era. The
evolution of insect flight, wing folding, compound
eyes and metamorphosis in particular lack fossil
evidence—and these have presented significant
difficulties for Darwinism for over a century and a
half. The major differences between ancient and
modern insects are that ancient insects were either
larger than those of today or they have become
extinct.
