This article seems to be written by people who don't really grasp what they are writing about.
This apparently refers to the assertion that the appearance of new forms of life is supported by fossils (see [[carbon dating]]). But the context of the quote implies that the teacher was actually talking about the notion that "new species can evolve from older ones -- such as humans evolving from ancient apes."

About half of the people who reject the materialist [[Theory of Evolution]] accept the fossil evidence of "gradual appearance" while rejecting mainstream biology's explanation that [[natural selection]] and unguided forces like [[mutation]] and [[copying errors]] is the cause.

:''the gradual appearance of new forms of life''. I think not, gradual changes to existing species, so that, for example when populations groups become isolated from each other, after a very, very, very long time the accumulation of gradual changes will be such that the resulting population groups can be considered separate species. Well something like that. This article seems to be written by people who don't really grasp what they are writing about.
