THE SECRET BEHIND OUR TRIALS
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 ap-
pear in a fully developed state, they must indeed have been created by
some omnipotent intelligence. 23
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 theory of
evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The Darwinist claim
holds that modern man evolved from ape-like creatures. During this
alleged evolutionary process, which is supposed to have started 4-5
million years ago, some "transitional forms" between modern man
and his ancestors are supposed to have existed. According to this
completely 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 living be-
ings are actually nothing but an old ape species that has become ex-
tinct. Extensive research done on various Australopithecus specimens
by two world famous anatomists from England and the USA,
namely, Lord Solly Zuckerman and Prof. Charles Oxnard, shows
that these apes belonged to an ordinary ape species that became ex-

tinct and bore no resemblance to humans. 24
Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution as
