ROMANTICISM: A WEAPON OF SATAN
Harvard University, 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
132
lineages of hominids (A. africanus, the robust
australopithecines, and H. habilis), none clearly derived from
another? Moreover, none of the three display any evolutionary
trends during their tenure on earth. 33
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.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected
scientists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for
years, and particularly studied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years,
finally concluded, despite being an evolutionist himself, that there is,
in fact, no such family tree branching out from ape-like creatures to
man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of science." He
formed a spectrum of sciences ranging from those he considered
scientific to those he considered unscientific. According to
Zuckerman's spectrum, the most "scientific"-that is, depending on
concrete data-fields of science 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 "unscientific,"
are "extra-sensory perception"-concepts such as telepathy and sixth
sense-and finally "human evolution." Zuckerman explains his
reasoning:
We then move right off the register of objective truth into those
fields of presumed biological science, like extrasensory
perception or the interpretation of man's fossil history, where to
the faithful [evolutionist] anything is possible - and where the
ardent believer [in evolution] is sometimes able to believe
several contradictory things at the same time. 34
