have been created by some omnipotent intelligence. (Douglas J. Fu-

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 man evolved from so-called ape-like creatures. During this al-
leged evolutionary process, which is supposed to have started 4-5 mil-
lion years ago, some "transitional forms" between man and his imagi-
nary ancestors 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 Australo-
pithecus, which means "South African ape." These living beings are ac-
tually nothing but an old ape species that has become extinct. Exten-
sive 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 be-
longed to an ordinary ape species that became extinct and bore no re-
semblance to humans. (Solly Zuckerman, Beyond The Ivory Tower,

Doubt", Nature, vol 258, 389)
Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution as "ho-
