What are the weaknesses of the Model?
Just as it is impossible to tell from fossil records if one fossil is truly transitional, or representative of a distinct form, the ability to make clear distinctions among kinds is required in order to determine whether a form which appears to be transitional between species, actually represents the creation of a new kind. By the very definition of evolution, there must be transitions, and by the definition of creation, there cannot be transitions. So every “transitional fossil” an evolutionist sees is seen by the creationist as a distinct kind or a member of the same kind. Created kinds, by their nature, leave no other traces besides the appearance of what was created. Another serious challenge to the creation model is the issue of when it occurred. Creationists have failed to convincingly show scientific evidence for a young creation, which is generally but not absolutely associated with the creation model. This issue will be dealt with separately in the FAQ.
