THE TRANSITIONAL-FORM DILEMMA

The True Origin of Man
The True Origin of Man
The origin of mankind is one of the most problematic issues for
evolutionists. The human skeleton’s upright posture, the use of our
hands, our brain, skull and many more physiological and anatomical
features, as well as our human intellect and consciousness—all are very
different from those of any other living thing.
Evolutionists claim that we humans evolved from an imaginary
common ancestor that we share with the apes. But they have yet to
explain how the changes necessary for this came about, simply
with random mutations, much less show evidence in the fossil
record of the stage-by-stage development of every human fea-
ture. Actually, they possess not a single fossil to demonstrate the
so-called evolution of Man.
The biologist and mathematician Marcel-Paul Schutzenberger
summarizes some of the difficulties facing the theory of evolution
with regard to the origin of humans:
Gradualists and saltationists alike are completely incapable of giving a con-
vincing explanation of the quasi-simultaneous emergence of a number of bio-
logical systems that distinguish human beings from the higher primates:
bipedalism, with the concomitant modification of the pelvis, and, with-
out a doubt, the cerebellum, a much more dexterous hand, with finger-
prints conferring an especially fine tactile sense; the modifications of
the pharynx which permits phona-
tion; the modification of the central
nervous system, notably at the
level of the temporal lobes, per-
mitting the specific recognition
of speech. From the point of view
of embryogenesis, these anatomi-
cal systems are completely differ-
ent from one another. Each
modification constitutes a gift. . . It
