he first in the series of documentaries called The
Shape of Life, jointly produced by the PBS and the
National Geographic Society, was about the origin
of animals (metazoans). The scientific deceptions
T contained in that documentary, which attempted to
describe how the first multicellular organisms came into being, are
set out below.

The Organization Within the Sponge

Cannot be Explained by Evolution

At the beginning of the documentary there is an account of how
one day, in some way, sponge cells living independently of one an-
other took a decision among themselves to live together. In fact, in line
with the familiar evolutionist scenario, the program even said that "in
some way, the cells found a language to allow them to work together."
Yet, the fact is that this imaginary account—the product of the evolu-
tionists' own fantasy world—is a complete violation of the facts.
The origin of the organization in living things is one of the fun-
damental questions for which the theory of evolution can never offer
a logical explanation. There is absolutely no reason for cells that can
function independently of one another to begin to act together. Yet,
the different cells in all multicellular organisms do work together to-
wards a common purpose in an extremely organized manner. The
sponge is one example of this flawless organization among cells.
Despite its very simple appearance, the sponge, an animal from
the phylum Porifera, actually consists of exceedingly complex cells.
These cells, organized in two layers, set up a continuous flow of
water inside the sponge. On the one hand, the plankton in the water
are filtered and digested; on the other, waste material is deposited
into the flow and carried away. In this way, the sponge functions
like a funnel in a specially established current.
The cells cannot have adopted the principle of working together
by themselves. That is because they come into being already in pos-
