Why is Denying the Theory of Evolution Portrayed as Rejecting Development and Progress?





               confuse a true concept with a false one. For example, it is true to
               state that "On account of man's long years of living as a social
               being, his knowledge, culture, and technology are in a constant
               state of development." (We must remember, however, that there
               can be regression over time as well as progress. Sociologically
               speaking, there have been times of progress, as well as times of
               stagnation and regression.) However, the claim that "In the
               same way as man has developed and progressed, living species
               have also advanced and changed over time" is completely false.

               Although it is perfectly logical and scientific to say that, as a
               thinking being, man's knowledge has increased and been
               passed on to subsequent generations, allowing constant
               progress, it is utterly senseless to claim that living species de-
               veloped and evolved by chance and coincidence, in accordance
               with uncontrolled and unconscious natural conditions.

                                                                                    105
                    The greatest names in the advancement
                    of science were all creationists
                    No matter how much evolutionists try to identify them-
               selves with concepts such as innovation and progress, history
               has shown that the real initiators of innovation and progress

               have always been faithful scientists who have believed in di-
               vine creation.
                    We see the mark of such believing scientists at every point
               of scientific progress. Leonardo da Vinci, Copernicus, Kepler,
               and Galileo, who opened a new era in astronomy, Cuvier, the
               founder of paleontology, Linnaeus, the founder of the modern
               classification system for plants and animals, Isaac Newton, the
               discoverer of the law of gravity, Edwin Hubble, who discov-
               ered the existence of the galaxies and the expansion of the uni-
               verse, and many others have believed in God and that life and
