evidence that all living things are created. The only explanation of a liv-
ing species emerging suddenly and complete in every detail without 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 ful-
ly 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. 38
Fossils show that living beings emerged fully developed and in a
perfect state on the Earth. That means that "the origin of species," con-
trary 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 evo-
lution is the subject of the origin of man. The Darwinist claim holds that
man evolved from so-called ape-like creatures. During this alleged evolu-
tionary process, which is supposed to have started 4-5 million years ago,
some "transitional forms" between present-day 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 specimens by two
world famous anatomists from England and the USA, namely, Lord Solly
Zuckerman and Prof. Charles Oxnard, shows that these apes belonged to
