Scientists Admit:
Evolution Not Supported By Facts!
"Evolutionism is a fairy tale for
grown-ups. This theory has helped nothing in the progress of
science. It is useless," says Professor Louis Bouroune,
former President of the Biological Society of Strasbourg and
Director of the Strasbourg Zoological Museum, later Director
of Research at the French National Centre of Scientific
Research, as quoted in The Advocate, March 8, 1984.
On many campuses, any professor who
admits having doubts about the "factual" nature of evolution
would be laughed off the campus (and out of his job). But
today, more and more courageous scientists are publicly
admitting what they have known privately for years:
believing in evolution requires an act of blind faith.
Does evolution square with the facts?
Here are the statements of several scientific leaders as
found in The Quote Book, published by Creation
Science Foundation Ltd.
Evolutionists Great
Con Men
"Scientists who go about teaching that
evolution is a fact of life are great con-men, and the story
they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever. In
explaining evolution we do not have one iota of fact." (Dr.
T.N. Tahmisian. Atomic Energy Commission, The Fresno Bee,
August 20, 1959.
"...most people assume that fossils
provide a very important part of the general argument made
in favor of Darwinian interpretation of the history of life.
Unfortunately, this is not strictly true." (Dr. David Raup,
Curator, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago. Quoted
from "Conflicts between Darwin and paleontology," Field
Museum of Natural History Bulletin, Vol. 50 (1), 1979.)
Do Fossils Prove
It?
"...I fully agree with your comments on
the lack of direct illustration of evolutionary transition
in my book. If I knew of any, fossil or living, I would
certainly have included them...Yet Gould and the American
Museum people are hard to contradict when they say there are
no transitional fossils...I will lay it on the line--there
is not one such fossil for which one could make a watertight
argument." (Personal letter from Dr. Colin Patterson, Senior
Paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History in
London, to L. Sunderland.)
"Despite the bright promise that
paleontology provides a means of ‘seeing' evolution, it has
presented some nasty difficulties for evolutionists, the
most notorious of which is the presence of ‘gaps' in the
fossil record. Evolution requires intermediate forms between
species and paleontology does not provide them..." (David B.
Kitts, Ph.D. -- Zoology, Head Curator, Department of
Geology, Stoval Museum, and well-known evolutionary
paleontologist. Evolution, Vol. 28, Sept. 1974.
But What About
Those Bones?
"...not being a paleontologist, I don't
want to pour too much scorn on paleontologists, but if you
were to spend your life picking up bones and finding little
fragments of head and little fragments of jaw, there's a
very strong desire to exaggerate the importance of those
fragments..." (Dr. Greg Kirby in an address given at a
meeting of the Biology Teachers Association of South
Australia in 1976. Dr. Kirby was the Senior Lecturer in
Population Biology at Flinders University and was giving the
case for evolution.)
"A five million year old piece of bone
that was thought to be the collarbone of a humanlike
creature is actually part of a dolphin rib...The problem
with a lot of anthropologists is that they want so much to
find a hominid that any scrap of bone becomes a hominid
bone." (Dr. Tim White, anthropologist, University of
California, Berkeley, quoted in New Scientist, April 28,
1983.
But the World Is So
Old...Isn't It?
"All the above (radiometric) methods for
dating the age of the earth, its various strata, and its
fossils are questionable, because the rates are likely to
have fluctuated widely over earth history...It is obvious
that radiometric techniques may not be the absolute dating
methods that they are claimed to be. Age estimates on a
given geological stratum by different radiometric methods
are often quite different (sometimes by hundreds of millions
of years). There is no absolutely reliable long-term
radiological ‘clock.' The uncertainties inherent in
radiometric dating are disturbing to geologist and
evolutionists..." (W.D. Stansfield, Ph.D., Instructor of
Biology, California Polytech State University, The
Science of Evolution, Macmillan, 1987.
Carbon-14 Will Tell
Us...Won't It?
"When the blood of a seal, freshly killed
at McMurdo Sound in the Antarctic was tested by carbon-14,
it showed the seal had died 1,300 years ago." (From W. Dort
Jr., Ph.D. -- Geology, Professor, University of Kansas,
quoted in Antarctic Journal of the United States, 1971.
"The hair on the Chekurovka mammoth was
found to have a carbon-14 age of 26,000 years but the peaty
soil in which is was preserved was found to have a carbon-14
dating of only 5,600 years." (Radiocarbon Journal, Vol. 8,
1966.)
When Did Dinosaurs
Really Live?
The existence of dinosaurs long before
man came along has been almost a basic tenet of faith for
the evolutionist. But what if the footprints of both man and
dinosaur were found together?
In the Journal of Geological Education,
Vol. 31, 1983, David H Milne and Steven D Schafersman tell
us "Such an occurrence, if verified, would seriously disrupt
conventional interpretations of biological and geological
history and would support the doctrine of creationism and
catastrophism."
Well gentlemen, not only have both man
and dinosaur prints been found together in Mexico, New
Mexico, Arizona, Missouri, Kentucky and Illinois, but other
U.S. locations as well.
Why Do They Do It?
"One is forced to conclude that many
scientists and technologists pay lip-service to Darwinian
theory only because it supposedly excludes a Creator." (Dr.
Michael Walker, Senior Lecturer in Anthropology, Sydney
University, quoted in Quadrant, October, 1982.)
Since the facts do not prove evolution,
since the fossil record does not show any transition from
one species to another, since "scientific" dating methods
have been proven unreliable, let us remember that for those
who desperately desire to reject God, evolution is a
religion of last resort. If there is no Creator, there can
be no sin, and no need of a Saviour.
A. Lunn summed up the curious faith of
the evolutionist as follows: "Faith is the substance of
fossils hoped for, the evidence of links unseen." (The
Collapse of Evolution, by Dr. Scott Huse.) Those
supposedly omniscient scientists who still teach evolution
as though it were fact are finally seen for what they
are...frail men willing to believe a lie because it helps
them avoid the truth. |
