The Evolution Misconception

Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible expla-
nations 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 appear in a fully developed state, they
must indeed have been created by some omnipotent intelligence. 13
Fossils show that living beings emerged fully developed and in a
perfect state on the earth. That means that "the origin of species" is,
contrary to Darwin's supposition, not evolution but creation.

The Tale of Human Evolution
The subject most often brought up by the advocates of the the-
ory of evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The
Darwinist claim holds that the modern men of today evolved
from some kind of ape-like creatures. During this alleged evolu-
tionary process, which is supposed to have started 4-5 million
years ago, it is claimed that there existed some "transitional
forms" between modern man and his ancestors. According to
this completely imaginary scenario, four basic "categories" are
listed:
1. Australopithecus
2. Homo habilis
3. Homo erectus
4. Homo sapiens
Evolutionists call the so-called first ape-like ancestors of men
"Australopithecus" which means "South African ape." These liv-
ing beings are actually nothing but an old ape species that has
become extinct. Extensive research done on various
Australopithecus specimens by two world famous anatomists
