THE PROPHET JESUS (AS) WILL RETURN
What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting lineages
of hominids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines, and H.
habilis), none clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of the
three display any evolutionary trends during their tenure on earth. 42
Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "upheld"
with the help of various drawings of some "half ape, half human"
creatures appearing in the media and course books, that is, frankly,
by means of propaganda, is nothing but a tale with no scientific
foundation.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected
scientists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for
years and studied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally con-
cluded, despite being an evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact,
no such family tree branching out from ape-like creatures to man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of science" rang-
ing from those he considered scientific to those he considered unsci-
entific. According to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most "scientific"-
that is, depending on concrete data-fields of science are chemistry
and physics. After them come the biological sciences and then the
social sciences. At the far end of the spectrum, which is the part con-
sidered to be most "unscientific," are "extra-sensory perception"-
concepts such as telepathy and sixth sense-and finally "human evo-
lution." Zuckerman explains his reasoning:
We then move right off the register of objective truth into those
fields of presumed biological science, like extrasensory perception or
the interpretation of man's fossil history, where to the faithful [evolu-
tionist] anything is possible - and where the ardent believer [in evolu-
tion] is sometimes able to believe several contradictory things at the
same time. 43
The tale of human evolution boils down to nothing but the prej-
udiced interpretations of some fossils unearthed by certain people,
who blindly adhere to their theory.
