The Ida hoax: The way that Darwinists tried to
depict a fossil of a perfect, extinct lemur as
evidence for the supposed evolution of man is
a major indication of their hopelessness.
Darwinists have been forced to apologize in
the wake of the embarrassing furore over Ida.

lines for several weeks, as Ida had been heavily promoted as “the biggest evidence of (imaginary) hu-
man evolution”, and the “missing link” by Darwinists (who also promoted “Ardi”, another so-called an-

cestor, which turned out to be the fossil remains of a common Bonobo chimpanzee). Some of the
Darwinists referred to the Ida fiasco as “antics” or “a circus”, and some of them clearly stated they were
embarrassed by the whole affair, and that Ida wasn't even close to being a “distant ancestor”, much less
a (false) missing link. 99
Ardi, which was briefly mentioned above, was produced by putting together the fossilized remains

of a Bonobo chimpanzee in a fictitious way and made to resemble a human being; this obvious state of
affairs evoked almost immediate criticism from some Darwinists. It was admitted in even the most
staunchly Darwinist publications that all the claims about Ardi walking upright or being an early an-

cestor of man were wholly fictitious, and that Ardi bore more resemblance to an ordinary Bonobo chim-
panzee, an endangered species which is still found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The
Darwinists had to withdraw yet another of their preposterous claims. 100
Generally, the reactions of Darwinists to these frauds are quite feeble. According to their ideology,
the simply must defend Darwinism, and its erroneous view that all life is “simple” no matter what; even

though it is most obviously patently absurd. According to Darwin, evolution generated such things as
black bears turning into whales, a claim which has no validity in any of the sciences. Nonetheless, the
followers of Darwin will defend these false ideas to the very end.

D. T. Rosevear from the Inorganic Chemistry Department at Bristol University expresses the simple
logic of Darwinism and the scientists who openly engage in this deceptive game;

(Evolution) seems to me a hypothesis based on no evidence and irreconcilable with the facts. These classical
evolutionary theories are a gross over-simplification of an immensely complex and intricate mass of facts,
and it amazes me they are swallowed so uncritically and readily, and for such a long time, by so many sci-

entists without a murmur of protest. 101
Although Darwinists try to ascribe “simplicity” to all the life forms they want, a simple observation

of the perfect and amazing complexity of life is a clear reality which they cannot simply ignore or wish
away. There are quite literally millions of different species of plants and animals alive today in the
world, and even the smallest structures in these plants and animals present this most wondrous com-

plexity imaginable. Today, when scientists can “understand” just the smallest fraction of the complexi-
ty of these structures and functions, or discover how they function it is deemed a great achievement.
Intelligent human beings didn't even know what their own cells looked like as little as a century ago;
and in any event, try though he might, no matter how long a scientist labors over his petri dishes and
microscopes, he will never create anything of the like, not even so much one of the hundreds of thou-

sands of proteins. Bacteria, which is typically described by Darwinists as the “simplest” form of life, is
in truth an extraordinary model of complexity with its organelles, its DNA, its cell membrane, and its
amazing resistance to antibiotics. 102 According to Sir James Gray, a bacteria actually does more work

than a modern-day laboratory; he says as follows:
