110              CONFESSIONS OF THE EVOLUTIONISTS




              in question are intended solely as speculation. All the fossils discovered

              belong to perfect life forms.
                   The claim of human evolution is even regarded as groundless by the
              people involved in shaping it. The claim is based, not on science, but on
              the beliefs and prejudices that shape the theory. But the interesting thing
              is how these “admissions” from the world of paleoanthropology are nev-

              er reflected in the press. On the contrary, one part of the media that sup-
              ports Darwinism is careful to conceal this predicament facing the theory
              of evolution and deceives the public by telling them that “new evidence
              for evolution is being discovered every day.”
                   A great many evolutionists, beginning with Charles Darwin himself,
              have generally had to admit that the commonest subject for speculation
              are the claims regarding fictitious primitive man.
                   Charles Darwin:

                   You ask whether I shall discuss "man";-I think I shall avoid whole sub-
                   ject... My work, on which I have now been at work more or less for 20
                   years, will not fix or settle anything... 272
                   ... but I was dreadfully disappointed about [the evolution of] Man. 273

                   Richard Leakey - Roger Lewin (after a lengthy exposition of hy-
              potheses regarding human evolution):
                   Isolated teeth, single bones, fragments of skulls: for the most part, these
                   are the clues from which the story of human prehistory must be recon-
                   structed. 274
                   Dr. Robert Martin is senior research fellow at the Zoological
              Society of London:
                   In recent years several authors have written popular books on human ori-
                   gins which were based more on fantasy and subjectivity than on fact and
                   objectivity. At the moment science cannot offer a full answer on the origin
                   of humanity, but scientific method takes us closer to the truth... 275
                   Richard Leakey, a well-known evolutionist:
                   David Pilbeam [a well-known expert in human evolution] comments
                   wryly, “If you brought in a smart scientist from another discipline and
