Most evolutionist books or articles present a great many fantastical tales.

These describe processes that could never have taken place and that are
scientifically impossible. You’ll read how the first cell emerged from a
pool of mud, how fish one day decided to move onto dry land and
turned into hundreds of different species and how reptiles one day took
to the air as birds. But all these tales are science fiction, and far frombe-
ing scienctific. The main hero of these tales is blind chance.

In his book The Great Evolution Mystery, Gordon Rattray Taylor says this on the subject:

Evolutionary history is a mass of such modifications; one could almost say it consists of
them. Scales become feathers. Legs become wings. Stomachs become swim bladders. Even at
the level of biochemical processes, substitutions and elaborations occur. All Darwinism has
to say about such miracles is that they are due to chance. (Gordon Rattray Taylor, The Great

Evolution Mystery, New York: Harper & Row, 1983, p.10)

The fact is, however, that chance can never produce an order requiring intelligence and
consciousness. No logical person can accept that the variety and complexity displayed
by living things are the work of chance. Coincidence can never give rise to bright flow-
ers, delicious fruits and vegetables, leopards, rabbits, tigers, birds, ants and human be-
ings able to found whole civilizations. Life and everything we see around us is the
work of Almighty God, the Omniscient Lord of sublime artistry.
