Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible ex-
planations for the origin of living things. Organisms either ap-
peared 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 appear in a fully de-
veloped state, they must indeed have been created by some om-
nipotent intelligence. 50
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" bet-
ween present-day man and his imaginary ancestors are suppo-
sed to have existed. According to this completely imaginary sce-
nario, 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 li-
ving 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
