in a perfect state on the Earth. That means that "the origin of

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 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 an ordinary ape species that
became extinct and bore no resemblance to humans. 14
Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution as
"homo," that is "man." According to their claim, the living beings in
the Homo series are more developed than Australopithecus.
