strong evidence that all living things are created. The only explanation
of a living species emerging suddenly and complete in every detail
without any evolutionary ancestor is that it was created. This fact is
admitted also by the widely known evolutionist biologist Douglas
Futuyma:

Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible ex-
planations for the origin of living things. Organisms either ap-
peared on the earth fully developed or they did not. If they did not,
they must have developed from pre-existing species by some
process of modification. If they did appear in a fully developed
state, they must indeed have been created by some omnipotent

Fossils show that living beings emerged fully developed and in a
perfect state on the Earth. That means that "the origin of species,"
contrary to Darwin's supposition, is not evolution, but Creation.

The Tale of Human Evolution

The subject most often brought up by advocates of the theory of
evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The Darwinist claim holds
that man evolved from so-called ape-like creatures. During this al-
leged evolutionary process, which is supposed to have started 4-5
million years ago, some "transitional forms" between man and his
imaginary ancestors are supposed to have existed. According to this
completely imaginary scenario, four basic "categories" are listed:
1. Australopithecus
2. Homo habilis
3. Homo erectus
4. Homo sapiens
Evolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like ancestors
Australopithecus, which means "South African ape." These living be-
ings are actually nothing but an old ape species that has become ex-
tinct. Extensive research done on various Australopithecus
specimens by two world famous anatomists from England and the
