is impossible because it would involve excessive energy consumption.
This is why a half-bipedal being cannot exist.
The immense gap between man and ape is not limited solely to
bipedalism. Many other issues still remain unexplained, such as brain ca-
pacity, the ability to talk, and so on. Elaine Morgan, an evolutionist pale-
oanthropologist, makes the following confession in relation to this matter:
Four of the most outstanding mysteries about humans are: 1) why do they
walk on two legs? 2) why have they lost their fur? 3) why have they devel-
oped such large brains? 4) why did they learn to speak?
The orthodox answers to these questions are: 1) 'We do not yet know'; 2) 'We
do not yet know'; 3) 'We do not yet know'; 4) 'We do not yet know'. The list of
questions could be considerably lengthened without affecting the monotony
of the answers. 101
Evolution: An Unscientific Faith
Lord Solly Zuckerman is one of the most famous and respected scien-
tists in the United Kingdom. For years, he studied the fossil record and con-
ducted many detailed investigations. He was elevated to the peerage for his
contributions to science. Zuckerman is an evolutionist. Therefore, his com-
ments on evolution can not be regarded as ignorant or prejudiced. After
years of research on the fossils included in the human evolution scenario
however, he reached the conclusion that there is no truth to the family tree in
that is put forward.
Zuckerman also advanced an interesting concept of the "spectrum of
the sciences", ranging from those he considered scientific to those he con-
sidered unscientific. According to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most "scien-
tific"-that is, depending on concrete data-fields are chemistry and physics.
After them come the biological sciences and then the social sciences. At the
far end of the spectrum, which is the part considered to be most "unscien-
tific", are "extra-sensory perception"-concepts such as telepathy and the
"sixth sense"-and finally "human evolution". Zuckerman explains his rea-
soning as follows:
We then move right off the register of objective truth into those fields of pre-
sumed biological science, like extrasensory perception or the interpretation
of man's fossil history, where to the faithful anything is possible - and
where the ardent believer is sometimes able to believe several contradictory
things at the same time. 102
