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
