T he NAS repeats the
evolutionists' classic claim
T and suggests that creationism is
not a scientific explanation (Science and Creationism,p.
ix). The fact is, however, that creationism is very definitely
supported by scientific findings, especially at the present time.
In order to see whether a theory is scientific, its claims must
be tested by observation and experiment, and the results must be
shown to be compatible with those claims. The explanation that liv-
ing things are created with an intelligent design can be tested in pre-
cisely this scientific manner. What emerges from these tests is the fact
that living things and the whole universe were created.
We should also make clear that any unprejudiced person who is
capable of thinking freely, and who is not fanatically devoted to a par-
ticular ideology, can easily see that the entire universe and all living
things were created with a flawless design. They are clearly the work
of a Creator Who possesses infinite power and intelligence. To see
this, it is sufficient for anyone to consider his own body, or a single
flower in his home, or the air he breathes. However, we feel the
need here to set out some of the proofs that living things were
created in accordance with an intelligent design, in the hope
that it will assist those people who are fanatically devoted to
the theory of evolution to think and use their powers of
reason.
1. Living things did not evolve from one
another in stages and through random
processes, but were created at a single
moment, together with their
particular body plans.
