THE EVOLUTION MISCONCEPTION

gist 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 appear in a fully de-
veloped state, they must indeed have been created by some om-
nipotent intelligence. 13
Fossils show that living beings emerged fully developed
and in a perfect state on the earth. That means that "the ori-
gin of species" is, contrary to Darwin's supposition, not evo-
lution but creation.

The Tale of Human Evolution

The subject most often brought up by the advocates of the
theory of evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The
Darwinist claim holds that the modern men of today evolved
from some kind of ape-like creatures. During this alleged
evolutionary process, which is supposed to have started 4-5
million years ago, it is claimed that there existed some "tran-
sitional forms" between modern man and his ancestors.
According to this completely imaginary scenario, four basic
"categories" are listed:
1. Australopithecus
2. Homo habilis
3. Homo erectus
4. Homo sapiens
Evolutionists call the so-called first ape-like ancestors of
men "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
