ficient to falsify or even substantiate them. Many interpretations
are possible. 37
Niles Eldredge and Ian Tattersall:

So the pattern emerges. We do not see constant progressive brain
enlargement through time, or a climb to a more completely human
posture. We see instead new "ideas," like upright posture, devel-
oped fully from the outset. We see the persistence, through mil-
lions of years, of species which continue on unchanged… 38
D. Willis:
Within the past few years five different trees have been offered for
the branching order among hominids, chimps, gorillas, orang-
utans, and gibbons. 39

[T]he account of our own origins on earth remains largely
unknown. 40
G.L. Stebbins:
With respect to human origins, the discoveries made during the
past fifteen years present a complex picture. The facts do not sup-
port the hypothesis of a simple progression Ramapithecus—
Australopithecus—Homo habilis— H. erectus—H. sapiens. 41

As we have seen, even evolutionists accept that so-called
human evolution is not supported by the scientific findings. As has
been shown throughout this book, the theory of evolution is not
supported with facts but with totally ideological preconceptions.
The theory of evolution—which is unable to explain how even a sin-
gle cell came into being by random mechanisms, how man acquired
the consciousness that makes him human (that is, the features of the
human soul), or how lifeless and unconscious matter could turn into
a thinking, speaking, rejoicing, and doubting human being, capable

of feeling excitement and making discoveries—is one of the most ir-
rational and unscientific claims ever made.
