             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 alleged
             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
             beings are actually nothing but an old ape species that has become

             extinct. Extensive research done on various Australopithecus speci-
             mens by two world famous anatomists from England and the USA,
             namely, Lord Solly Zuckerman and Prof. Charles Oxnard, shows that
             these apes belonged to an ordinary ape species that became extinct and
             bore no resemblance to humans.  14
                 Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution as
             “homo,” that is “man.” According to their claim, the living beings in

             the Homo series are more developed than Australopithecus.
             Evolutionists devise a fanciful evolution scheme by arranging different
             fossils of these creatures in a particular order. This scheme is imaginary
             because it has never been proved that there is an evolutionary relation
             between these different classes. Ernst Mayr, one of the twentieth cen-
             tury’s most important evolutionists, contends in his book One Long
             Argument that “particularly historical [puzzles] such as the origin of
             life or of Homo sapiens, are extremely difficult and may even resist a
             final, satisfying explanation.” 15
