1. CREATIONISM OR EVOLUTIONISM?

1.1 Only Two Options. There are only twopossibilities: Either (a) God created the World(Creationism!) or (b) the World made itself(Evolutionism!). However, nobody can reallysubmit final, conclusive arguments for eitherview, because no mortal was present when theWorld was made. All we have is (c) the apparentevidence available in Nature and (d) revelationas provided by God through the Holy Scriptures.I will herewith endeavour to show that theevidence for Creationism in Nature is far morecredible than any so-called 'evidence' for

Evolutionism, and that the Fossil Recordactuallyconfirms the Gnesis Creation Account of theBible.

1.2 Can Evolutionism really 'Create'?

(a) The Law Of Creatorship. There is a NaturalLaw (the 'Law Of Creatorship') that states thatthe Creator/Maker of an object or a product isalways both more intelligent and complex thanthat particular object or product, whether thatCreator/Maker is (i) folding a serviette,(ii) making a paper-airplane or (iii) erecting anuclear-plant. In terms of this 'Law' theUniverse was thus created by a SuperiorBeing/Higher Power, for the simple reason thatthis Universe is a mighty complex place (just look

at the 'Electromagnetic Spectrum', the DNA-Molecule or 'Periodic Table Of Elements') ... sothe Creator/Maker of the Universe must ofnecessity be both more complex and intelligentthan the Universe (object/product) itself. Theevolutionists, however, teach that Evolutionworks randomly and without purpose, i.e. thereis no sign of intelligence or intelligent designdetectable in the process at all!

(b)The Laws Of Thermodynamics. Evolutio-nism cannot refute the 'First And Second LawsOf Thermodynamics'. (i) The 'First Law OfThermodynamics'. States that energy & matter(sister-phenomena) can neither be created nordestroyed. No one can add to or take away fromthe total portfolio ofenergy & matteravailable inthe Universe. We may harness andmanipulate it,but that's all.But, ifenergy & matter cannot becreated or destroyed, how then did EvolutionaryTheory not only 'create' the World out of the rawmaterials at the time, but also first 'create' thosevery raw materials, apparently out of nothing?How did the Evolutionary Theory abrogate oroverride The 'First Law Of Thermodynamics'?(ii) The 'Second Law Of Thermodynamics'.States that the Universe is running down ...time's arrow points downwards. There is a'Law Of Decay And Death' at work in Nature,and nothing we do can stop it. We may delay theprocess by perhaps maintaining and cleaning

things, but ultimately everything dies and turnsto dust. This 'Law' states that random events(such as Evolution) can never lead to Orderoutof Chaos (low entropy) but always to Chaos outof Order (high entropy). The hopes, dreamsand illusions behind Evolutionary Theory is, inother words, built on the same hopelessmathematical probabilities as the natural lawsgoverning gambling and betting.Evolution, if itwere true, will have relied solely on ' luck'.(iii) An Intelligent First Cause. The Universe is... like a huge old grandfather-clock, It too must,eventually, decay, stop ticking and die. But then,Who wound it up in the first place? Thus, thevery existence of the 'Second Law OfThermodynamics' demands the existence of aCreator, an Intelligent First Cause. (iv) Evolutio-nists Ignore Universal Laws. The 'First AndSecond Laws Of Thermodynamics' standunchallenged by real scientists in the world ofphysics ... it is only the Evolutionists (pseudo-scientists) who propose to override the naturallaws of the Universe with such regular impunity.

(c) Biogenesis. Scientists working in the field ofGenetics will tell you that Biogenesis means thatonly a living cell can give rise to a living cell ...LIFEcannot evolve from non-life.

(d) Irreducible, Instantaneous & Specified

Complexity. The three principles of'Irreducible,Instantaneous & Specified Complexity' makeEvolutionism an impossible concept. Theseprinciples demand that living organisms be fullyformed instantaneously before they can functionas viable species. For instance: (i) Clotting OfBlood. How long can any living organism,'evolving' over many 'millions of years', afford towait for its blood tolearn toclot... musn't bloodbe able to clot instantly within a matter ofminutes? (ii) Learning His Craft. How long canthe little fish, squirting down his prey (dinner)with his little built-in water-pistol,afford to waitfor his food until he had learnt the rudiments ofhis craft ... musn't he be able to eat that sameevening? (iii) Baby-Whales Must Survive. Howlong can baby-whales afford to wait until mother-whales had developed a fully-functional (non-return) oneway-valve nipple for baby-whales todrink from (under water)? (iv) The HouseholdMousetrap. Consider the simple household-mousetrap, with five moving parts or so ... can amousetrap make itself? How long will you bewilling to wait for a mousetrap to bemanufactured by Evolutionism, or would yourather buy it from a store?

(e) Simple Questions. Now if a simplemousetrap cannot even make itself, how could(i) the flagellum of bacteria with forty movingparts; (ii) your body with trillions of movingparts or (iii) this Universe, with mega-zillions of

moving parts, have made itself?

(f) What Do The Mathematicians Say? Themathematicians have, as far back as the 1966Wistar Symposium (USA), already told theEvolutionists that Evolution is mathematicallynot feasible. The chances for Evolution are, interms ofmathematical probability, so remote asto be virtually non-existent. You've got to have alot offaith to be an Evolutionist!

(g) The Discovery Of DNA. The discovery ofDNA has made Evolutionism a defunct, obsoleteTheory. Scientists who work with DNA everyday

of heir lives will tell you that the encoded DNA inthe body cells of living organisms contain a built-in firewall that prohibits Evolution acrossspecies.

1.3 Is Planet Earth really 5 Billion Years Old?(a) Earth Inflation? First, consider what suspect-type of 'scientific source' originally gave rise tothis silly rumour that the Earth is 5 billion yearsold: (i) In 1862, Thompson said the Earth was '20million years'old; (ii)In 1897, Thompson doubledit to '40 millionyears';(iii)In 1899, Joly decided thatthe Earth was '90 million years' old; (iv) In 1921,Raleigh said the Earth was '1 billion years' old;(v)In 1932, W.O. Hotchkiss moved the figure upto '1,6 billion years'; (vi) In 1947, A. Holmesdeclared Planet Earth to be exactly '3,35 billionyears' old but, (vii)in 1956, A. Holmes raised itto '4,5 billion years'. (viii) At present, the so-calledage of the Earth stands at '4,6 - 5 billion years'They call this 'Science'? I call it science fiction.

1.4 Why We Believe That The Earth Is OnlyAbout 6 000 Years Old. If the Earth were really 5billion years old, then:

(a) Trees, Coral Reefs & Deserts. Why are theoldest living trees (Sequoia Redwoods), theoldest and largest coral reef (Australia's GreatBarrier Reef), and the oldest and largest desert(Sahara), only about 4 000 years old? Simple:A planetwide Flood about 4 400 years ago ... adeluge with the impact of probably millions of

tsunami's, or the equivalent of about 8 billionhydrogen bombs (according to geo-physicist WaltT. Brown) would have made the survival of thesenatural phenomena impossible under suchcatastrophic conditions.

(b) The Polonium-218 Radio-Halos. Why doesRobert Gentry's research with the Polonium-218Radiohalo (a phenomenon observed by geo-physicists microscopically in all granites) showthat all the granites on our planet could only havecoagulated (after its formation) within3 minutes,and not over 'millions' of years? If the Earth werereally formed out of redhot, molten lava(granite),then why do geophysicists find that,

when they melt down granite and allow it to cooldown to a solid, it never cools back to solidgranite again, but to rhyolite? If the Earth reallyoriginated from molten granite, the foundation-stone of our planet ought to have been rhyolite,not granite.

(d) The Pressure Of Subterranean Oil. The oil-pressure of sub-terranean oil in the crust of theEarth is 20 000 psi. That, as well as the averagethicknesses for the topsoil of the Earth ( 35 cm.)and the Moon (1,92 cm. 7,65 cm.), indicatethat the Earth and Moon cannot be much olderthan 10 000 years.

(f) The Sea. Why is the Sea, after '5 billionyears', still only 3,6% salty, i.e. 96,4% freshwater? By now the oceans ought to have beenone enormous saltpan.

2. THE FOSSIL RECORD CONFIRMS THEGNESIS CREATION ACCOUNT.

2.1 Creation In 6 Days Of 24 Hours Each.

(a) Creative Evolution? The evidence in Naturepoints to a young Earth of about 6 000 years old.The brave but futile efforts of some Theists (i.e.people who believe in a 'God') to compromisewith the Evolutionists by introducing so-called

Theistic or Creative Evolution (whereby 'God'alledgedly created and maintains the Universethrough the process of Evolution) is ludicrous.These Theists apparently do not believe that God,with an IQ of = infinity, is omnipotentafter all.

(b) Time Won't Solve The Evolutionist'sProblem. If God could not make this Universeand our Solar System in 6 days of 24 hours each,then neither could He have made it in 15 billionyears, and to teach this gross anomaly is referredto in theology as 'heresy'. Anyway, what makespro-evolutionist 'theists' think that to make aUniverse in 15 billion years is any 'easier' thanmaking it in 144 hours? I do not understand suchgoofy logic. Ask any mathematician acquaintedwith 'Probability Theory'and he will tell you thatlonger periods ('15 billion years') will actuallyexacerbate the problem and make Evolutionismeven more difficult & unlikely. More time wouldnot have solved the evolutionist's problem.Probability Theory teaches that, with passingtime, the chances for success diminish, they donot improve. Any seasoned gambler (stillaround) will confirm this nasty phenomenon. Atthe 1966 Wistar Symposium in the USA themathematicians articulated this fact to theevolutionists, but they would not listen. VanceFerrell BA., MA., BD. Writes: The point is that TIMEcan never work in favour of something that cannot happen.Can TIME change rocks into badgers; seawater into turk-

eys; sand into fishes? Can TIME discover humanhormones; manufacture the telescopic eye of the eagle; orarrange for the Moon to orbit the Earth? The truth is that,the longer the TIME, the greater the chances fordecay, andthe less the chances that Evolution will take place. (VanceFerrell BA, MA, BD: 'Science vs. Evolution', p.162).

2.2 Reasons You May Trust The GnesisCreation Account.

(a) Will God Ever Lie? God is not a man thatHe should lie. Did Jesus ever lie?(If I [Jesus] have told you earthly things

, and ye believe not,how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? (Joh.3:12 KJV). .Have you ever read His CurriculumVitae? Will the Holy Spirit ever lie to you? ...what blasphemy to even suggest the possibility.

(b) Jesus Created In An Instant. Remember,Jesus created thousands of loaves of bread &portions of fish to feed the hungry crowds (out ofonly 3 fishes and 5 loaves), as well as turnedwaterinto wine, all in the space ofa few minutes... why would He need (i) 15 billion years tocreate the Universe, (ii)5 billion years to createour Solar System including Planet Earth, or (iii) 3million years to create Mankind? How did theyanyway 'count the years' to arrive at the age of '15billion years' for the Universe if the Earth and theSun was only made '5 billion years' ago? Isn't ayear the number of days (365) the Earth needs

to complete one orbit around the Sun?(c) The Six Days Of Creation. The 6 days of

Creation were obviously days of 24 hours each.(i) The plants were made on Day 3 ... how longcould the poor flowers have afforded to wait forthe Sun to come up (on Day 4) and supply therays for the chlorophyllto form ... a 1 000 years?(ii) The insects were probably made on Day 5andthe birds & bats on Days 5 & 6 ... how long couldthe poor flowers have afforded to wait for theinsects,birds and bats to pollenate the flowers ...2 000 to 3 000 years? It does not make sense.The 6 days ofCreation can only be understood interms of6 days of24 hours each.

2.3 What The Fossil Record Indicates.

(a) Classification Systems. The very fact thatthe animal kingdom can be classified at all bytaxonomists i.e. kingdom; phylum; class; order;family; genus and species proves Evolutionismfallacious. According to the Evolutionists allliving organisms are 'in constant flux' ('evolving'all the time) and should the diverse species inthe lowest stratum of the 'Paleozoic Era' of theso-called 'Geologic Column' or 'Geological TimeScale'). In the 'Pre-Cambrian' sediment(immediately below the 'Cambrian') there arevirtually no animal-fossils to be found, but,suddenly, in the 'Cambrian', the incrediblydiverse animal kingdom appears out of seeming-

ly nowhere, all fully developed and classifiable asdistinct species. They are supposed to be'ancient', but are all dressed up for action in'modern costumes', exactly as Gnesis asserts.

(c) Fossilisation And The Biblical Flood. Mostfossils are found in sediment (e.g. Cretaceous)indicating a watery demise. A prequisite forfossilisation is, amongst others (i) alkaline anddamp soil and (ii) sudden burial under greatpressure, exactly the type of conditionsassociated with the Biblical Flood (alkaline anddamp soil, and living organisms and plantssuddenly buried, en masse, with great pressureunderneath tons of sediment). One sourceactually states that it were as if the animals wereall trapped in mud [Peter Schirmer, 'The Concise IllustratedEncyclopaedic History Of Southern Africa', C.N.A.(1980)], evidence of aBiblical Floodabout 4 400 years ago.

(d) Why No Transitional Fossils? There are anestimated 100 million (or more) cataloguedfossils/fragments in the World today, and notone of them is a transitional fossil, a prerequisitefor Evolution to have taken place. Also, in spiteof probably billions of fossils still buried in therich Karoo-formation, no transitional fossil hasever been found, a clear sign that Evolution hadnever occurred in history ... ever.

(e) The Fossil-Record Tells A Different StoryThan That Of The Evolutionists. It has beenreported that that 99% of the total animal-kingdom that ever existed had already goneextinct ... we have been left with only 1% of theimmense diversity that must have existed prior tothe Biblical Flood (about 2 348 B.C.). This is,however, contrary to what Evolutionary Theoryteach ... i.e. that the animal kingdom wassupposed to have started with low diversity ( 1%?) and evolved into higher diversity ( 99% ?)!

3. ANATOMY OF A WORLDWIDE DELUGECALLED 'THE FLOOD'.

3.1 Flood Expectations? What could one haveexpected from the fossil evidence in sedimentary

strata if the Flood, and notEvolution, had causedthe rock strata wherein fossils today are found?The questions below (including the responses =) demonstrate how the Flood obviously musthave, en masse, caused Worldwide fossilisationapproximately 4 400 years ago, exactly the wayone would have expected it to do:

Were animals that lived on the LOWEST LEVELS alsoburied in the LOWEST STRATA? Were animals from the SAME ECOLOGICALCOMMUNITY buried TOGETHER? Were animals with the SIMPLEST FORMS buriedFIRST? [HIDROLOGICAL FORCES i.e. the sucking andpulling of fastmoving water would have sorted creatures with

CORRESPONDING SHAPES]. Were (INVERTEBRATE) SEA CREATURES foundin the LOWEST STRATA as they live at the bottom of thesea? Were the FISHES found in HIGHER STRATA as itcould have escaped through water to higher levels? Were the FIRST LAND PLANTS found where theFIRSTS AMPHIBIANS were found? Were AMPHIBIANS and REPTILES found buriedHIGHER UP than FISHES, but LOWER than or BELOWLAND ANIMALS; and were very FEW LAND PLANTS andLAND ANIMALS found in the LOWER STRATA? Were ANIMALS and BIRDS in general found on

HIGHER LEVELS than REPTILES and AMPHIBIANS?

Were HERD ANIMALS that may have escaped

TOGETHER found TOGETHER in the SAME STRATA? Were very FEW BIRDS found in STRATA as theyprobably would have escaped to HIGHER LEVELS? Were HEAVIER, STRONGER ANIMALS sortedSEPARATELY from WEAKER, SMALLER ANIMALS? Were very FEW PEOPLE (HUMANS) found inSTRATA?

3.2 Study The Fossil Record. Study thefossil record and see if the facts correspond withthe abovementioned research results.

4. JESUS CHRIST THE AUTHOR OF LIFE.

4.1 Jesus (God) Gives Life. When Jesus Christdied on the Cross at Calvary, the Bible says thatthey had killed the Author of LIFE! (Acts 3:15NIV). Logical conclusion: Jesus (God) gives LIFE.

4.2 Jesus Confirmed The Genesis CreationAccount, Not 'Evolution'. During His 33-yearsojourn on Earth and 3-year Ministry JesusChrist must have had ample time to educate Hisdisciples to exchange their (false) traditionalinterpretations of the Genesis Creation Accountfor the 'correct evolutionist or Gap Theory'interpretation. If the Earth were made in'millions of years', and not in 6 days of 24 hourseach, Jesus (certainly a Person who loves andrespects truth) obviously would have told us so.For instance, He seemed to have divulged some

of the profoundest of secrets to his disciples withthe greatest of relish: In my Father's house are manymansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go toprepare a place for you. (Joh 14:2). Jesus said unto them,Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was

, Iam.(Joh 8:58). Jesus always endeavoured to confirmGenesis 1 indefinitely. He never taught 'Evolution',so who must we believe ... Jesus Christ or CharlesDarwin? The choice is obvious ... I choose theone with the most impressive Curriculum Vitae... Jesus Of Nazareth.

If I [Jesus] have told you earthly things, and yebelieve not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of

heavenly things?(Joh. 3:12 KJV).

The Secret Is Out!

FOSSIL RECORD

Confirms

GnesisCreation Account

We have been searching for a

transitional (intermediary) fossil asevidence for evolution now for over a100 years, to no avail ... I wonderwhere the little fellow could behiding?
