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. 147
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 founda-
tion.
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" ran-
ging 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 so-
cial sciences. At the far end of the spectrum, which is the part consid-
ered to be most "unscientific," are "extra-sensory perception" – con-
cepts such as telepathy and sixth sense – and finally "human evolu-
tion." Zuckerman explains his reasoning:
We then move right off the register of objective truth into those fields of HARUN YAHYA
presumed biological science, like extrasensory perception or the inter-
pretation of man's fossil history, where to the faithful [evolutionist]
anything is possible – and where the ardent believer [in evolution] is
sometimes able to believe several contradictory things at the same (ADNAN OKTAR)
