A DEFINITIVE REPLY
TO EVOLUTIONIST
PROPAGANDA
media outlets is immediately evident upon exam-
ining the reports. The blatant use of descriptions
such as "souvenir of our ancestors" or "legacy" in
their headlines is a sign of this.
The reception given the story in the newspa-
pers is thus rather exaggerated. Despite the fact
that Straus offered no evidence at all for his claim,
and the fact that the claim has not been accepted
by other scientists, nevertheless, it was carried on
the dailies' front pages as if it were a fact defini-
tively proving evolution.
This story about "hiccupping" is just one exam-
ple among many. Daily newspapers all over the
world are quite capable of carrying stories, includ-
ing ones about evolution, on their front pages
without ever enquiring into their scientific back-
ground. Other recent newspaper headlines, such
as "Our ancestors were microbes," "We came from
Mars," "The dinosaur flew," and "Man's ancestors
were anteaters," are all products of the same sensa-
tionalist journalism. These dailies and New
Scientist magazine ignore the fact that science has
undermined the theory of evolution, and portray
evolutionist gaffes which lack any scientific value
whatsoever as if they were proven fact.
