The Case For Creation

Intelligent Design, Science and Evolution

The Case For Creation

Evolution--meaning dead matter turning into living matter without intelligent design--is a belief system, born of ancient pagan religions. It should not be taught as undisputed fact. Although the majority of scientists toe the evolutionary line, dissenters number in the thousands. A new book, In Six Days - Why 50 Scientists Choose to Believe in Creation, by John F Ashton, Ph.D.. takes a factual and scientific look at the evidence for evolution. Physicists, biologists, and chemists conclude that evolution may offer no more evidence than traditional religion, and factually, it may lag behind.

"Evolution has been called 'a fairy tale for adults.' It's like someone kissing a frog and several million years later it becomes a prince. That isn't science...it's simply a matter of faith."

"Unregenerate men cling to their belief in evolution because of their hostility toward God. There is no evidence, scientific or otherwise, to support the theory of evolution. Yet millions accept it because they have been brainwashed into thinking it is true."--Dr. D. James Kennedy

Mainstream media and educational textbook publishers often feature articles that support the evolutionary model for the origins of the universe and life. There is, however, another--and better--theory about origins.

There are growing numbers of highly trained scientists who have become convinced that evolutionism may not be the best explanation for the origin of life. There are literally thousands of scientists worldwide who have recognized that evolutionism is poor science. They consider Creation to be a valid scientific alternative.

In fact, almost all of the great scientists of the past--Newton, Pasteur, Maxwell, Kelvin to name just a few--were creationists. Many of the founding fathers of science were actually contemporaries of Darwin.

When evolutionary scientists claim that Creation does not qualify as a scientific theory, creation scientists counter that the same argument can be applied to evolution. A scientific theory must be supported by observation and testing. Obviously, there were no scientists--or any person--who witnessed the origin of the universe, the origin of life, or the origin of human beings. These events were unique and thus unrepeatable. Evolution is really a belief system about the past--it is therefore a religion.

Creationists and evolutionists have the same evidence--it is the interpretation of the facts that is in question. By using the scientific method and our five senses in the present, however, Genesis Creation is more logically defensible. For example, Genesis declares that each animal was created "after its kind." That's what we witness today, not one animal changing into another.

What about creatures in the past? One of the best evidences for "Genesis kinds" is that there are systematic gaps between plant and animal kinds in the fossil record. None of the transitional fossils that would be expected to be present based on the evolution model has been found. Even the classic example usually paraded, Archaeopteryx (a proposed reptile-like bird) is being discarded by many evolutionists.

Regarding man's supposed ancestry to ape-like creatures, the famous evolutionist, the late Lord Solly Zuckerman, concluded that it could be successfully argued that if man has evolved from an ape-like creature, he did so "without leaving any fossil traces of the steps of the transformation."

All living things are so incredibly designed that they reveal the handiwork of a Master Designer. Even the most "basic" living cell in the body is far more complicated than our most sophisticated computers. Think of the intelligence required to build a living cell!

For the sake of good science and good education, the case for Genesis Creation needs to be heard, not censored by the media or our academic establishment.

Neanderthal Conspiracy?

Jack Cuozzo, the author of Buried Alive, relates his experiences radiographing some of the Neanderthal skulls contained in French museums. Cuozzo, an orthodontist and forensic specialist, noticed that the jaws of the skulls had been incorrectly placed forward in order to give an ape-like appearance. The Pech de L'Aze (skull of a child) not only did not have prominent brow ridges expected of a Neanderthal, but the teeth were out of allignment and falsely said to be maloccluded. When Dr. Cuozzo placed the actual jaw into alignment, the teeth fit together perfectly, giving the child a normal human appearance rather than the Neanderthal face attributed to him.

Cuozzo found the same deliberately misplaced jaw when he inspected the famous La Chapelle-aux-Saints skull. He also examined the La Quina V skull. Pictures of the skull from 1911 show a strong chin. However, by 1979 the skull had apparently received "plastic surgery"--the chin was removed to give the skull a fictional "Neanderthal" appearance. Cuozzo felt forced to conclude that he had discovered a conspiracy to alter Neanderthals, to give them an apelike appearance.

After his examinations, Cuozzo determined that Neanderthals were actually humans capable of living to an advanced age well beyond our normal life expectancy. The heavier brow ridges of the adult skulls were caused by the natural growth of the skull over time. Even today, facial bones continue to change and grow. Older people tend to have longer ears and noses. The Bible, and the historical records of ancient times, record that men living before the Flood often exceeded 900 years old. The question must be asked: were these people Neanderthals--or simply the way you would look if you could live that long?

In "Buried Alive," author Dr. Jack Cuozzo reveals that the Neanderthals had sophisticated tools equivalent to the "Cro-Magnon" men of the same era. Neanderthal cave drawings and carvings indicate that their sight was sharper than modern man's and that they could see in light that would be too dim for our eyes.

If a Neanderthal could see us now, he might consider his modern offspring as puny weaklings, handicapped with poor sight, weak bones, and lowered intelligence. For evolutionism to be plausible, we should be seeing thousands of significant beneficial mutations in the human genetic code. Evolutionism is illogical and flawed scientifically--man is NOT getting better and better. Doctors don't encounter beneficial genetic mutations--they see harmful genetic syndromes, mutations, and chromosome deletions. The genetic code of man continues to break down over time, proving the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Certainly, our technology has allowed us to partially overcome some of these handicaps, and our Neanderthal ancestors didn't have all of our medical advances. Then again, they didn't need them.

Does Natural Selection Prove Evolution?

William Kirwan, President of Ohio State University, erred in his defense of evolutionism (Columbus Dispatch Forum, October 2, 2001). Kirwan said, "Every farmer who has had to change pesticides because insects become resistant to one type after years of exposure has witnessed evolution through natural selection."

This is a common, but false, example used to "prove" evolution. It does not prove evolution, in the the sense of one species changing into another (macroevolution). In Kirwan's example, a new insect species is not created; the insects that have the stronger features survive and pass on characteristics that already existed in the gene pool. No new information is created or passed on.

Some evolutionists claim that a new species is created if a new mutation can't procreate with the prior ones. This is not only silly, but also blatantly bigoted if applied to human beings with various genetic conditions, who cannot procreate at all. Evolutionism is often a road that leads to dehumanization of some human beings, such as those with genetic differences. Hitler and his minion's were devout evolutionists.

How difficult would it be to believe the convoluted reasoning involved in this definition of a "species?" One would have to be convinced that (for example) a human could be the recipient of a genetic mistake that could be beneficial (when have you heard about that happening?), and could only pass on the trait to offspring through the recipient of the same genetic mistake, who just happened to exist at the same time. And that would make a new, improved species, no longer human. We should have read something about this monumentous occurance somewhere in our lengthy recorded human history. The few flimsy examples among lower species have been easily disproved (see links, below, for more details.) If such a major change has happened often enough to explain all the species on earth, it should have happened frequently enough for us to have heard about it.

Unfortunately, the human genetic code is breaking down through harmful mistakes (in all of us, in varying degrees); it is not evolving into a new, improved species. However, we are still fully human. As an example of the breakdown, one can look to recorded history. In the ancient past, a man could marry a close relative with far less fear of genetic mutations than would be possible today.

If millions of years of natural selection (as is still commonly believed) had created macroevolution, we would see many millions of transitionary forms between species--millions of half humans, for instance. This is the evolutionary theory that most of us learned in school.

Some evolutionists, confronted with the obvious lack of evidence to prove their belief, have thought of an alternate explanation: punctuated equilibrium. They maintain that evolution happened very rapidly (not slowly over millions of years), with few if any transitional forms. Perhaps a fish instantly grew working lungs, and lived to pass on this change.

This is a pretty big whopper, if considered logically. How was the fish with lungs able to live long enough to get out of the water? How did he flop around on land and find food? Must we also believe he quickly--before he starved--grew legs, and learned how to eat off the land? This fairy tale would take an unreasonable "willing suspension of unbelief." In other words, a large dose of self-delusion is required. After all, Darwin's followers dreamed up the "millions of years" of transitions (justified through questionable dating methods) to convince the public that given enough time, non-living matter could become living matter, and through time and chance new information can be added to DNA, causing the development of a new species. Don't expect to hear much about the theory of punctuated equilibrium in the establishment press. Evolutionists know that most laymen won't buy it.

Even if we believe the theory of punctuated equilibrium, the fossil record is still woefully inadequate. Even in a quick transition, we should find many, many more preserved specimens to prove evolutionism. Macroevolution should still be observable today. We should also see some examples in recorded historical records. We do not. (Although historical records do provide scientific descriptions of live dinosaurs, said by questionable science to be extinct at the time!) Science has been unable to find dozens, much less millions of transitionary forms. And of those few claimed "transitionary forms," most--if not all--eventually turn out to be frauds or mistakes. The history of modern evolutionsim is littered with discarded and fraudulent claims. Evolutionism should be labeled: "Buyer beware!"

Malcolm Muggeridge (world famous journalist and philosopher) stated: "I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially the extent to which it's been applied, will be one of the great jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has."

Evolutinism was not original with Darwin, but with ancient pagan philosophy. I would welcome the teaching of the true history of evolutionism in the schools. Truly informed, unbiased students will not be fooled by this monopolistic, paganistic theory. Thousands of qualified scientists favor the alternate theory of origins--intelligent design--however, the evolutionist establishment censors opposing views. Children should also learn about famous scientists who favored the intelligent design model, such as Newton, Pasteur, and Dr. Werner von Braun (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). Perhaps this won't happen; if the public is informed it will cause the whole stack of foolish evolutionary paper card houses to collapse in a pile.

"Our most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being."--Isaac Newton, Principia, Second Edition.

When people don't wish to believe in intelligent design they invent humanism, evolutionism, paganism. "Perceiving/professing themselves to be wise, they became fools instead, worshipping the creature rather than the Creator."

It is ignorant and bigoted to censor the theory of intelligent design because some of the proponents believe in God. Some evolutionists claim to believe in God. Should that also disqualify evolutionism as a valid theory?

What really bugs evolutionists? Despite the establishment's attempts to bolster evolutionism, most people still stubbornly cling to logic, the evidence of their senses, and the innate, natural conviction of creation through intelligent design.

NASA Scientist and Creation

"Manned space flight is an amazing achievement, but it has opened for mankind thus far only a tiny door for viewing the awesome reaches of space. An outlook through this peephole at the vast mysteries of the universe should only confirm our belief in the certainty of its Creator.

I find it as difficult to understand a scientist who does not acknowledge the prescence of a superior rationality behind the existence of the universe as it is to comprehend a theologian who would deny the advances of science. And there is certainly no scientific reason why God cannot retain the same relevance in our modern world that He held before we began probing His creation with telescope, cyclotron, and space vehicles.

Our survival here and hereafter depends on adherence to ethical and spiritual values. Through science man tries to harness the forces of nature around him; through religion he tries to control the forces of nature within him and find the moral strength and spiritual guidance for the task that God has given him."--Dr. Werner von Braun, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington D.C., Creation: Nature's Designs and Designer, Pacific Press Publishing Association: Mountain View, CA, 1971, Preface, page 6
