THE EVOLUTION MISCONCEPTION


            lutionary ancestor can be that this species was created. This fact is admit-
            ted also by the widely known evolutionist biologist Douglas Futuyma:
                 Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible explanations
                 for the origin of living things. Organisms either appeared on the earth fully
                 developed or they did not. If they did not, they must have developed from
                 pre-existing species by some process of modification. If they did appear in a
                 fully developed state, they must indeed have been created by some om-
                 nipotent intelligence. 65
                 Fossils show that living beings emerged fully developed and in a
            perfect state on the earth. That means that "the origin of species" is, con-
            trary to Darwin's supposition, not evolution but creation.


                 The Tale of Human Evolution

                 The subject most often brought up by the advocates of the theory of
            evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The Darwinist claim holds
            that the modern men of today evolved from some kind of ape-like crea-
            tures. During this alleged evolutionary process, which is supposed to
            have started 4-5 million years ago, it is claimed that there existed some
            "transitional forms" between modern man and his ancestors. According to
            this completely imaginary scenario, four basic "categories" are listed:
                 1. Australopithecus
                 2. Homo habilis
                 3. Homo erectus
                 4. Homo sapiens
                 Evolutionists call the so-called first ape-like ancestors of men "Aus-
            tralopithecus" which means "South African ape." These living beings are

            actually nothing but an old ape species that has become extinct. Extensive
            research done on various Australopithecus specimens by two world fa-
            mous anatomists from England and the USA, namely, Lord Solly Zucker-
            man and Prof. Charles Oxnard, has shown that these belonged to an
            ordinary ape species that became extinct and bore no resemblance to hu-
            mans. 66
