                 Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible explanations for
                 the origin of living things. Organisms either appeared on the earth fully de-
                 veloped or they did not. If they did not, they must have developed from pre-ex-
                 isting species by some process of modification. If they did appear in a fully
                 developed state, they must indeed have been created by some omnipotent intel-
                 ligence. (Douglas J. Futuyma, Science on Trial, Pantheon Books, New York,
                 1983, p. 197)

                 Today, there are 700 million unearthed fossils. All these fossils
             reveal that living beings emerged fully developed and in a perfect
             state on the Earth. It is as if the fossils are saying “We did not evolve
             through evolutionary processes.” That means, contrary to Darwin’s
             supposition, “the origin of species” cannot be explained by evolution,
             but is explained by creation.

                 THE TALE OF HUMAN EVOLUTION

                 The subject most often brought up by advocates of the theory of
             evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The Darwinist claim
             holds that man evolved from so-called ape-like creatures. During this
             alleged evolutionary process, which is supposed to have started four
             to five million years ago, some “transitional forms” between man and
             his imaginary ancestors are supposed to have existed. According to
             this completely imaginary scenario, four basic “categories” are listed:
                 1. Australopithecus
                 2. Homo habilis
                 3. Homo erectus
                 4. Homo sapiens
                 Evolutionists call man’s so-called first ape-like ancestors Aus-
             tralopithecus, which means “Southern ape”. These living beings are
             actually nothing but an ape species that has become extinct. Extensive
