THE MIRACLE OF HUMAN CREATION

Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution as "homo,"
that is "man." According to the evolutionist claim, the living beings in the
Homo series are more developed than Australopithecus. Evolutionists de-
vise a fanciful evolution scheme by arranging different fossils of these
creatures in a particular order. This scheme is imaginary because it has
never been proved that there is an evolutionary relation between these
different classes. Ernst Mayr, one of the most important proponents of the
theory of evolution in the twentieth century, contends in his book One
Long Argument that "particularly historical [puzzles] such as the origin of life
or of Homo sapiens, are extremely difficult and may even resist a final, satisfying
explanation." 67
By outlining the link chain as "Australopithecus > Homo habilis > Homo
erectus > Homo sapiens," evolutionists imply that each of these species is
one another's ancestor. However, recent findings of paleoanthropologists
have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis and Homo erectus
lived at different parts of the world at the same time. 68
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erectus
have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens neandarthalensis and
Homo sapiens sapiens (modern man) co-existed in the same region. 69
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that
they are ancestors of one another. A paleontologist from Harvard Univer-
sity, Stephen Jay Gould, explains this deadlock of the theory of evolution
although he is an evolutionist himself:
What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting lineages of ho-
minids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines, and H. habilis), none
clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of the three display any evo-
lutionary trends during their tenure on earth. 70
Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is sought to be
upheld with the help of various drawings of some "half ape, half human"
creatures appearing in the media and course books, that is, frankly, by
means of propaganda, is nothing but a tale with no scientific ground.
