ated. The only explanation of a living species emerging sudden-
ly and complete in every detail without any evolutionary ances-
tor is that it was created. This fact is admitted also by the wide-
ly known evolutionist biologist Douglas Futuyma:
Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible ex-
planations for the origin of living things. Organisms either ap-
peared 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 omnipotent in-
telligence. 85
Fossils show that living beings emerged fully developed
and in a perfect state on the Earth. That means that "the origin
of species," contrary to Darwin's supposition, is not evolution,
but Creation.

The Tale of Human Evolution

The subject most often brought up by advocates of the the-
ory 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 4-5 million years ago, some "transi-
tional forms" between present-day man and his imaginary an-
cestors are supposed to have existed. According to this com-
pletely 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
Australopithecus, which means "South African ape." These liv-
