Page 13 - The Errors the American National Academy of Sciences

I n 1999, the National
Academy of Sciences,
I USA, published a booklet
called Science and Creationism: A View from the
National Academy of Sciences. The aim of this booklet was
to respond to the creation/evolution debate by bringing to-
gether “the most important proofs” of evolution. The booklet
was regarded as a most important source by evolutionists from
all over the world. Evolutionist circles published the text free of
charge on their Internet sites.
The advertising campaign set in motion about this booklet was
such that anyone seeing it might well imagine that it was full of evi-
dence for the theory of evolution and had put a definitive end to all
discussion of the validity of the theory. However, those who expected
to find such evidence in it were sadly disappointed. The booklet
makes not a single mention of the Cambrian Period, the real subject of
debate as regards the theory of evolution and which can never be ac-

counted for in terms of the theory. Nor does it discuss such matters
as the origin of the cell or human consciousness. Despite having
been disproved time and time again by scientific findings, evolu-
tionists’ classic claims were simply repeated in a superficial
manner, with no evidence offered to support them.
We have already responded to the Academy’s booklet
several times in previous works and have shown, with
scientific evidence, that these claims are of no scien-
tific value. Yet the need has nevertheless arisen for
the preparation of a new study intended as a
response to that booklet. With this new
work, we wish to demonstrate
how it is that the mem-
bers of the
