Section 2: Christianity vs. Rival Worldviews
Chapter 13: Evidence for Scientific Creationism
The Fraud Called Evolution
It is becoming quite clear that the lack of evidence for the Doctrine of Evolution is starting to shake this house of cards at its foundation. The statements by leading evolutionists quoted in the previous article, Ever Increasing Evidence Against Evolution, indicate that the fault under this house is widening, forecasting an eventual collapse of this fragile fiction.
Hoaxes Instead Of Facts
But has the lack of any supporting fossil evidence and admission that the Doctrine of Evolution is statistically impossible stopped this charade? On the contrary. Finding the first scientifically verifiable missing link has become like a "search for the holy grail." Those who have concocted the various hoaxes, still featured in many science textbooks, reaped much fame and fortune before their frauds were unmasked. Those hoaxes include:
The Nebraska Man — Evolutionists constructed a theory about an entire race of men based on one fossilized tooth. This tooth was paraded as evidence for evolution in the 1925 Scopes trial. Heralded as the “missing link” in human evolution, this hypothesized figure was labeled the “Nebraska Man.” Scientists later learned that the tooth came from a pig.
Java Man — In 1891, Dr. Eugene DuBois found the skull of a primate on the island of Java. One year later, he found a human-like thigh bone roughly 50 feet away from the skull’s original location. With great imagination and no evidence linking the artifacts, “Java Man” was born.
The Piltdown Man — Championed by evolutionists as a “missing link,” this figure proved to be a portion of a human skull pieced together with an orangutan’s jaw. Upon closer inspection, scientists discovered that the teeth had been filed down to resemble a human’s teeth.
The Neanderthal Man — On January 26, a study conducted by Dr. Katerina Harvati, a paleoanthropologist at New York University, was published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. In her report, Dr. Harvati debunks the myth that “Neanderthals” were ancestors of modern man. She wrote, “The difference between Neanderthals and modern humans was as great or greater than that found between [other] closely related primate species.”
Orce Man — In 1982, Spanish scientists found an ancient skull, which they claimed to be from a 17-year-old boy. Scientists touted this find as a “missing link.” Only days before a scheduled symposium, UPI News reported, “When French experts revealed the fact that ‘Orce Man’ was most likely a skull fragment from a four-month-old donkey, embarrassed Spanish authorities sent out 500 letters canceling invitations to the symposium.”
Haeckel’s Embryos — Ernst Haeckel, a German developmental biologist, proposed an evolutionary theory titled “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.” According to this view, as a fertilized egg develops to form a human embryo, it repeats each of man’s evolutionary stages throughout history. This has been completely disproved.
Peppered Moth — In England, scientists studied the population trends of both black and gray peppered moths. Errantly, these scientists claimed that the moths had genetically evolved for survival. When this was disproved, University of Chicago evolutionary biologist Jerry Coyne admitted that “the prize horse in [evolutionists’] stable” had been debunked. Coyne added, “My own reaction resembles the dismay attending the discovery, at the age of six, that it was my father and not Santa Claus who brought the presents on Christmas Eve.”1
Answers In Genesis provides a more extensive list of evotionary hoaxes.
Unfortunately, a public retraction of these frauds never receives the same fanfare as their introduction because the irrational bias remains: "Evolution must be true but, as yet, it is not clear just how it happened so we must keep searching until we know." It is this irrational bias and often a corresponding worldview that drives evolutionists and, in their minds, justifies keeping the relics of these frauds in college classrooms, and false accounts and pictures in science texts on all levels. So much for scientific objectivity!
Big Bang a Bust
One such hoax with nine lives is the claim that the universe began when an eternal dot, no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence, unexplainably exploded some 14 billion years ago. Unfortunately for them, evolutionists have had yet another major setback in their frantic search to justify their false doctrine. With astronomical evidence mounting, top scientists now concede that matter and, therefore, the universe had a beginning. That mighty, infinite dot never existed.2
This complicates their case enormously because it requires that the supposed Big Bang (which caused all that exists) came from nothing - a scientific impossibility according to the First Law of Thermodynamics. Obviously, this is not science but a "fairy tale."3 But even if this impossibility was somehow true, evolutionists still have many inconvenient facts of science to explain, all of which fit easily into the Scientific Creation model of origins. Some questions raised by these "hard facts" (which some evolutionists condescendingly call "anomalies") demand a scientific and plausible explanation:
1) Why do the rotation of planets and moons differ from each other? In an explosion, all parts rotate in the same direction according to the scientific Law of Angular Momentum. This law trumps the Big Bang.
2) Why is underground gas and oil still under great pressure? If the rocks that contain them are older than 10,000 years, the escaping pressure would have lessened proportionately to nothing over millions of years.
3) Why do some moons in our solar system have volcanic activity? If they are millions of years old, they would have cooled long ago in the freezing depths of space. Saturn's moon, Enceladus, displays evidence of active ice volcanism: Cassini observed warm fractures where evaporating ice evidently escapes and forms a huge cloud of water vapor over the south pole.4
The Institute For Creation Research provides a more extensive list of "time clocks" that indicate a young rather than an old earth, as evolution requires.
The Dirty Little Secret Behind The Lie of Evolution
Why are these and numerous other "time clocks" that defy the Doctrine of Evolution ignored? It is not scientifically honest to conveniently dismiss them as mere "anomalies." True science demands that they be included in any plausible and comprehensive model of origins if it is to enjoy any credibility. Anything less should not be imposed by law on our students or be paraded around as a "scientific fact." The bottom line is: the Doctrine of Evolution is a scientific fraud, a Strategy of Deception supporting a secularist worldview and agenda, as Aldous Huxley brazenly admitted.
Thomas Huxley, one of the most prominent English naturalists of the 19th century, earned the nickname “Darwin’s bulldog” for actively promoting and vehemently defending Darwinism. Huxley's grandsons included Sir Julian Huxley, well known as the world’s leading evolutionist and the first director of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization and his brother, Aldous Huxley, famous for writing Brave New World. Predictably, all came from the same atheistic mold as revealed in the following quote from Aldous:
"I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning; consequently assumed it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption. The philosopher who finds no meaning in the world is not concerned exclusively with a problem in pure metaphysics; he is also concerned to prove there is no valid reason why he personally should not do as he wants to do. For myself, as no doubt for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was simultaneously liberation from a certain political and economic system and liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom."5
Astounding! This nihilist shamelessly declares that he and most of his contemporaries, not to mention his infamous family, championed the lie of Evolution that has been used to justify and fuel genocide, infanticide, abortion, racism, atheism, America's culture war and all manner of immorality "because it interfered with our sexual freedom." Simply put, he gladly prostituted science to justify in his own eyes his warped worldview. This hoax would be a laughable joke on mankind if it was not so tragic in its consequences - temporal and eternal.
You Can Choose Not To Be A Victim
How many millions of children, having been tricked into believing this lie, have denied their Creator-God, rejected His merciful offer of eternal life in His Son and, consequently, behave like senseless animals without meaning, purpose or lasting hope? No wonder that depression, obsession, despair and suicide are rampant among young and old today. Arguably, this Strategy of Deception has led to more death and destruction than any other lie concocted by Satan.
But yet, in ironic contrast, one of the most famous atheistic scientists today, Stephen Hawking, cautiously admitted: "Although Science may solve the problem of how the universe began, it can not answer the question: why does the universe bother to exist? Maybe only God can answer that."6
Not only has the God of the Bible answered that question but He has also explained why he "bothered" to create you. Given the above documentation, which Worldview is the only one worthy of a sane person's wholehearted belief and acceptance? Why live a life of meaningless pleasure-seeking here and hell hereafter when you can receive and abide now in the world's only Savior who generously offers you true, everlasting life and is committed to your well-being, now and forever?
