Evolution: An Unscientific Faith

Lord Solly Zuckerman is one of the most famous scientists in the United Kingdom. For years, he studied
the fossil record and conducted many investigations, for which he was elevated to the peerage. Zuckerman is

an evolutionist. Therefore, his comments on evolution cannot be regarded as ignorant or prejudiced. After
years of research on the fossils included in the human evolution scenario however, he reached the conclusion
that there is no truth to the family tree that is put forward.
Zuckerman also advanced an interesting concept of the "spectrum of the sciences," ranging from those he
considered scientific to those he considered unscientific. According to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most "scien-

tific"—that is, dependent on concrete data—fields 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 the "sixth sense"—and finally
human evolution. Zuckerman explains his reasoning as follows:

We then move right off the register of objective truth into those fields of presumed biological science, like extrasen-
sory perception or the interpretation of man's fossil history, where to the faithful anything is possible - and where

the ardent believer is sometimes able to believe several contradictory things at the same time. 190
Robert Locke, the editor of Discovering Archeology, an important publication on the origins of man, writes in
that journal, "The search for human ancestors gives more heat than light," quoting the confession of the famous

evolutionary paleoantropologist Tim White:

We're all frustrated by "all the questions we haven't been able to answer." 191
Locke's article reviews the impasse of the theory of evolution on the origins of man and the groundlessness

of the propaganda spread about this subject:

Perhaps no area of science is more contentious than the search for human origins. Elite paleontologists disagree over
even the most basic outlines of the human family tree. New branches grow amid great fanfare, only to wither and
die in the face of new fossil finds. 192

The human skeleton

suited to walking on

possible for there to
be an "intermediate
form" between them,
pubis pubis because this would
be extremely unpro-
ductive.
