136 THE WORST SLANDER: IDOLATRY

Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the pos-
sible 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 modifica-
tion. If they did appear in a fully developed state, they
must indeed have been created by some omnipotent
intelligence. 13
Fossils show that living beings emerged fully devel-
oped 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 beings are actually nothing but an old ape species
that has become extinct. Extensive research done on vari-
