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.
