out any evolutionary ancestor is that it was created. This fact is admitted
also by the widely known evolutionist biologist Douglas Futuyma:
Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible explanations

for the origin of living things. Organisms either appeared on the earth
fully developed or they did not. If they did not, they must have developed
from pre-existing species by some process of modification. If they did ap-
pear in a fully developed state, they must indeed have been created by
some omnipotent intelligence. 181
Fossils show that living beings emerged fully developed and in
a perfect state on the Earth. That means that "the origin of species,"
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 be-
ings are actually nothing but an old ape species that has become ex-
tinct. Extensive research done on various Australopithecus specimens
by two world famous anatomists from England and the USA, namely,
Lord Solly Zuckerman and Prof. Charles Oxnard, shows that these apes
