For your consideration...the following is an excerpt from a radio spot on KAPL radio, Jacksonville, Oregon, called " Akin For the Truth". To listen to the entire spot (a few minutes long), click the little microphone icon....Jack

The theory of evolution, states within its doctrine that vertebrates evolved from more primitive invertebrates. The term “vertebrate” describes an creature that has an endoskeleton, that is; an internal, skeletal frame, upon which its systems of muscles, nerves, circulation, etc., are mounted. The five classes of these are the cold-blooded fish, amphibians and reptiles, and the warm-blooded birds and mammals. An invertebrate is an organism whose body is held together by an external skeleton. Examples of these are insects, sponges, worms, arthropods, mollusks, and even tiny one-celled animals, or protozoa. Now, the average evolutionist believes that the time between the origin of life and the abrupt appearance in the fossil record of the many complex invertebrates was nearly three billion years, and about 100 million years for one of these invertebrates to evolve into the vertebrates, or fishes.
