booklet suggests that the fossil record
T provides definitive proof of evolution,
and even says, "So many intermediate forms have been dis-
covered. . ." and refers to a "huge body of evidence." (Science
and Creationism, p. 14) Yet, for some reason not a single example

of an intermediate form is provided, even though the book let
claims to present "the most important lines of evidence supporting
evolution." (Science and Creationism, p. ix) A book making such a
claim would be expected to detail the series of intermediate forms in
question, and to respond to criticisms directed at the classic putative
intermediate forms (such as Archaeopteryx). Yet, no such proof is
given in the book, which merely attempts to convince its readers by
means of vague words and abstract expressions.
The National Academy of Sciences' attempt to portray the the-

ory of evolution as one for which there is so much evidence reminds
one of a doctor who tells a moribund patient who is no longer ca-
pable of any movement at all that "You are so healthy, you could
get up and go for a run if you wanted," just to keep his spirits
up. It seems that the members of the National Academy of
Sciences think that a self-confident tone would be enough
to save their theory. Yet, what matters is not the tone or

style employed, but rather concrete scientific evi-
dence. It is an incontrovertible fact that scien-
tific evidence testifies against
Darwinism. Those evolutionists
