1. WHAT IS 'CREATIVE EVOLUTION'?

1.1 It Doesn't Really Exist! The EvolutionaryTheory is atheistic to begin with, therefore aconcept like Theistic (Creative) Evolution isactually a contradiction in terms. The(misleading) idea of Creative Evolution wasprobably invented by gullible and ignorantChristians who must have felt a need to engineera compromise with their Evolutionist-friends,who probably had persuaded them with theirpro-evolution rhetoric that (a) the Earth wasliterally 'billions of years' old and that (b) the

'fossil-record' was conclusive proof of Evolution,as if it had been ratified by the ConstitutionalCourt!

1.2 Atheism + Christianity? Having created thisgoofy new hybrid-theology ofCreative Evolution(Atheistic Evolution + The Gnesis Creation Account),these nave Christians now think they've got alltheir bases safely covered:

(a) Should Evolution Prove 'True'. They will atleast be seen as still fashionably supportingmodern Humanist-Uniformitarianthought, or,

(b) Should TheGnesis Creation Accountprovetrue. They will hopefully still be on the safe sideof God's wrath (they reckon!), for at least theywill not be seen as having totally abandoned theBible and God.

2. WERE THERE REALLY A 'PRE-ADAMITERACE' BEFORE GNESIS 1 OR BEFORE ADAM& EVE?

2.1 An Amazing Heresy. This amazing heresy,i.e. that there must have existed a 'pre-adamiterace' long before Gnesis 1 or before Adam & Evewere created, is one of the tragic (and false) off-shoots ofCreative Evolution, a pitiful attempt bygullible people to appear fashionably 'scientific',not realising that the Evolutionary Theory is nota science, but (a) a full-blooded religious cult,(b) ideologically promoted by Atheists and(c) financially sponsored by Taxpayers. The ideaof a 'pre-adamite race' that must have lived and

gone extinct long before Gnesis l & and Adam &Eve is Unscriptural, because (d) The Bibledistinctly states that Adam & Eve were the firstpeople(Gen.1:26-28; 2:7; 3:20; 5:1; 5:5; Deut.32:8; Job.31:33; Rom.5:14; 1Cor.15:22,45 1 Tim.2:13) (e) No people (of any kind) werealive prior to Gnesis 2:7 AMP: ' ... for the Lord God hadnot yet caused it to rain upon the Earth and there was noman to till the ground' (The first man, Adam, wasmade in Gnesis 2:7 and prior to Adam there wasno man of any kind available to till the ground ).

2.2 No Life Before Adam And Eve. Nobody, orany living organism for that matter, e.g.mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds, insects

etc., could have lived (and then died) beforeGnesis 1 or before Adam & Eve were created,because the concept of 'DEATH' was onlyintroduced for the very first time to the World byAdam (Gn.3:19; Rom.5:14; 1 Cor.15:22) .

2.3 The Introduction Of Death. The firstanimals and the first people that ever died forthe first time, died only after Adam hadintroduced Death (as a result of sin) to theWorld. I thus state categorically that no peopleor animals (including a so-called 'pre-adamiterace'or dinosaurs) could either have (a) existedor (b)diedbefore Gnesis 1 , or before Adam & Eveand the animal kingdom were created on Days 5& 6 of Creation.

2.4 Gap Theory Is Heresy. This of course blowsthe preposterous Gap Theory ('millions of years'between Gnesis 1:1and Gnesis 1:2) into smithereens.Christians ought to learn to reply to evolutionistdoctrine on its own merit and not fabricate theirown brand of synthetic 'theology' in order toappease their evolutionist friends.

2.5 The Dinosaurs. The 'dinosaurs'(actually'dinocrocodilians', as the dinosaurs wereprobably closer related to crocodiles than tolizards) did not 'evolve' over 'millions of years',but were created by God (and notby the Devil)

on Day 6 of Creation, i.e. within 24 hours,together with all the other animals: 'All things weremade and came into existence through Him (God); andwithout Him (God) was not even one thing made that hascome into being.' (John 1:3 AMP). There is nothingsinister about dinosaurs at all ... they werecreated animals like any other animals created byGod, i.e. Jesus Christ.

2.6 The Devil Cannot Create.(a) The Devil Is Limited. The Devil (the

'Destroyer') cannot create. He can onlydestroy.Both Judas Iscarioth and the Anti-Christ arereferred to in the Bible as 'sons of perdition' ...offspring of the Destroyer. He could not evenhave 'created' as much as a lousy cockroach to

save his own miserable life.(b) The Devil An Inferior Creature. Don't

believe that myth that the Devil is somehow onpar with God like some sort of evil alter-ego, withboth of them jostling for position and leadership,haunting and frustrating Creation like a type ofschizophrenic Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde. God is the(i) ('uncreated') Creator and omnipotentAlmighty ... and the Devil (ii) a ('created')creature and a vastly inferior rebel with adisgustingly suspect past and unenviable,miserable future. I don't want to bursts anybody'sballoon in particular, but the Devil with thehordes of Hell following him and the satanistsworshipping him have a sketchy future at best.

3. IS THE GNESIS CREATION ACCOUNTCOMPATIBLE WITH EVOLUTION ('CREATIVEEVOLUTION')?

3.1 Never in a million years! In order toaccommodate their Evolutionistpals, pro-evolu-tion Christians today try to ascribe long ages tothe Creation Process, i.e. they assert that Godnever created the World in 6 literal days of 24hours each (Total = 144 hours), but more likely in'6 millenniums of 1 000 years' each, or perhaps'6 eons oftime of millions/billions'of years each.They say this probably because of:

(a)A Rigid Interpretation. They interprete theBible mechanically where it states that, '... with theLord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand yearsas one day'(2Pet.3:8);

(b) God Not Almighty (Omnipotent) Enough?They don't really think God is omnipotentenough (!?) to create a Universe in 144 hours, i.e.He needed at least '15 billion years' for thisdaunting task;

(c) They Invent Compromise-Theology. Theyinsist on developing a compromise-model ofCreation in order to accommodate theEvolutionists ... or to not disturb the peacefulsleep of those evolution-minded members in thechurch; and

(d) They Are Just Generally Ignorant. Theysimply are not informed enough to develop

counter-arguments for the teachings ofEvolutionary Theory, and so gullibly buy pro-evolution rhetoric because, After all, how can the'Scientists' be wrong? Keep in mind that there arescientists (genuine scientists) and then there arethe scientists (evolutionists). There is a vastdifference between the two categories.

3.2 Putting Things Into Perspective. When theBible states that 'a day is as a 1000 years for God', itmeans that, for God, Time is relative ... He isneither the prisoner of the calendar nor thecaptive of the physical laws of His own Creation.God exists and operates independent of theconstraints & dynamics ofMatter, Space &Time.

3.3 Creation Week. The 6 days of Creationwere literally 6 days of 24 hours each.(a) The Plants. The plants were made on Day

3: How long could the poor flowers haveafforded to wait for the Sun to come up (on Day4) and supply the rays for the chlorophyll toform ... a 1000 years?

(b) The Insects. The insects were probablymade on Day 5and the birds & bats on Days 5 &6 long could the poor flowers have afforded towait for the insects, birds and bats to pollenatethe flowers ... 2 000 to 3 000 years? [Tip: Forhow long was Jesus in the grave ... 3 days or3 000 years?].

3.4 More Time Will Not Solve TheEvolutionists' Problem.

(a) Can God Override Time Constraints? Itamazesme that some people could actually thinkthat (the Omnipotent!) God is not powerfulenough to make the Universe in 144 hours, butthat 15 billion years for the Creation-processrepresents 'a more reasonable' time! They treatGod as if He were some lazy, incompetent farm-labourer. What makes them anyway think that tocreate a Universe in 15 billion years would in anyway prove 'easier' than to do it in 144 hours?Respectfully ... if God could not develop theability to jump and touch the Moon with Hisfingers within 144 hours, the 'Immutable' Godwould also not be able to develop the ability tojump and touch the Moon with His fingers within15 billion years either. Either way it will proveequally difficult (or easy) for an OmnipotentDeity.

(b) The Mathematical Laws Of Probability.Also, any mathematician acquainted withProbability Theory will tell you that longer agesmay actually make Evolution, over extendedperiods, with the odds increasingly andcumulatively stacked against it, onlyincreasinglymore unlikely. More time would actuallycompound the evolutionist's problem.Probability Theory teaches that with passingtime the chances for success diminish, they do

not improve. Any seasoned gambler (still aliveto tell the tale) will confirm this nastyphenomenon. At the 1966 Wistar Symposium inthe USA the mathematicians articulated this factto the evolutionists, but they would not listen.Vance Ferrell BA., MA., BD. writes:

The point is that TIME can never work in favour ofsomething that cannot happen. Can TIME change rocksinto badgers; seawater into turkeys; sand into fishes? CanTIME discver human hormones; manufacture the telescopiceye of the eagle; or arrange for the Moon to orbit the Earth?The truth is that, the longer the TIME, the greater thechances fordecay, and the less the chances that Evolutionwill take place. (Vance Ferrell BA, MA, BD: 'Science vs. Evolution',p.162).

3.5 Compromise Creation-Models (i.e. CreativeEvolution or CE) are Unscriptural.

(a) It Is Nowhere Taught In The Old Testament.None of the great Old Testament-prophets (e.g.Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Samuel, Daniel, Elijah,Elishah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Zechariah etc.) evertaught CE.

(b) Jesus And His Disciples Never Taught CEInThe New Testament. None of the authors of theEpistles (i.e. Paul, Peter, James, John or Judas)ever taught CEin the Early Church.

3.6 Jesus Christ Or Charles Darwin? Whywould anyone in his right mind anyway prefer theintellectual insights,spiritual capacity and

2/2

'cosmic stature' of a Charles Darwin over that ofJesus Christ? Have they never read Jesus' CV(Curriculum Vitae)? And why would anyonefollow the opinions of one (Darwin) whoentertained the silly notion that his brain'evolved' from that of an ape? I would not evenentrust my car-keys (knowingly) to someone whothinks he evolved from an ape! Even ifEvolution were true (which it is not), could weanyway then have afforded to trust thejudgements and intellectual processes of our own'dumb primate brains'? If not, how then can theevolutionists expect us to trust theirs?

3.7 Increase Your Knowledge. So, to increaseyour knowledge on Evolutionism, read someworthwhile critiques on the Theory such as:

'The Long War Against God' (Henry Morris)'The Evolution Handbook' (Vance Ferrell)'Science vs. Evolution' (Vance Ferrell)'EvolutionExposed' (Roger Patterson)'Darwin On Trial' (Phillip Johnson)'Darwin's Enigma' (L.D. Sunderland)'Darwin's Black Box' (Michael Behe)

4. DID THE DEVIL CREATE THE DINSOSAURSAND WERE THEY KICKED OUT OF HEAVEN(DOWN TO PLANET EARTH) TOGETHERWITH THE DEVIL?

4.1 Back To Those Distressing Compromises.

This is also another of the many (false)'Compromise Creation-Models' betweenEvolutionism and Creationism (Evolution + Creation)and is Unscriptural. It was probably sparkedwhen some nave Christians were duped intobelieving that: (a) The Earth is literally 'millionsof years' old and (b) The 'fossil-record' poses aninsoluble problem to Christians and has to beexplained one way or the other, even if it meansengineering the heresy of this ridiculous theory.

4.2 The Devil Never Created Anything. Asmentioned earlier, the 'dinosaurs' (actually'dinocrocodilians') did not 'evolve' over 'millions

of years', or got 'kicked out of Heaven' by God,but were createdby God (and notby the Devil)on Day 6 of Creation, i.e. within 24 hours,together with all the other animals. The Devilnever created anything! The Bible says: 'All thingswere made and came into existence through Him (God);and without Him (God) was not even one thing made thathas come into being' (John 1:3 AMP). The Devil wasonly given, at most, the authority to destroy(Isa.54:16 KJV), unless we of course employ the term'create' poetically ... for certainly the Devil can'create (cause) havoc'.

4.3 Adam Was Created First. Not only did he see

garment; the waters stood above the mountains. At Yourrebuke they fled; at the voice of Your thunder they hastenedaway. The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the

place which You appointed for them.' (Ps.104:6-9).

5.2 Oil & Petroleum Reserves. Today's oil-reserves (and billions of fossils) were probablyformed within months (not 'millions of years')during this Flood by the rapid, catastrophicburial of marine and land-animals underneathtons of sediment and under great pressure.

5.3 Coal Reserves. The coal-reserves (andfossils) were formed within months during thisFlood by the rapid, catastrophic burial of treesand plants underneath tons of sediment undergreat pressure. Incidentally, no petroleum orcoal [fossil-fuels] are being formed naturallytoday! It happened en masse probably only oncein the history of our planet on the immense scalewe today routinely deduct from the fossil-record.

6. THE 'FOSSIL-RECORD' ACTUALLYCONFIRMS THE GNESIS CREATIONACCOUNT.

6.1 The Fossil-Record Represents God'sDocumentation Of The Biblical Flood. Instead ofindicating Evolution, the 'fossil-record' thusactually confirms the Creation-Account of theBible. Evolutionists cannot e.g. explain the

'Cambrian Explosion', i.e. the sudden appearanceof distinct & diverse species in the lowest stratum(Cambrian) of the 'Paleozoic Era'of the so-called'Geologic Column'or 'Geological Time Scale'). Inthe 'Pre-Cambrian'sediment (immediately belowthe 'Cambrian') there are virtually no animal-fossils to be found, but, suddenly, in the'Cambrian', the incredibly diverse animalkingdom appears out of seemingly nowhere, allfully developed and classifiable as distinctspecies ('Stasis'). They are supposed to be'ancient', but are all dressed up for action (as intheatre) in 'modern costumes', exactly as Gnesisasserts.

6.2 There Are No Transitional (Intermediary)

Fossils Available To Prove Evolution AcrossSpecies. There are an estimated 100 million (ormore) cataloguedfossils/fragments in the Worldtoday, and not one of them is a transitional fossilto prove that any so-called 'Evolution'had takenplace. Also, in spite ofbillions of fossils probablystill buried in the rich Karoo-formation, notransitional fossil has ever been found there, aclear sign that Evolution had never occurred inhistory ... ever. The evolutionists have beensearching for their 'missing link'(a transitionalfossil) for over 100 years now ... to no avail.When they do find one, please let me know too,for that will certainly be announced as the 8 th

Wonder of the World.

the animals (and dinosaurs) being created, butprobably also namedthem all one-by-one.

4.4 Eve Was Created Last. She probablyneversaw God create anything (she was made last).She must have been more susceptible to Satan'sdeceit than Adam because she probably had nofirsthand experience of Creation (up to thatstage) ... at least nothing comparable to that ofAdam.

4.5 Neither Taught By The Prophets, Or ByJesus Nor By The Disciples. This 'the-dinosaurs-were-kicked-out-of-heaven-together-with-thedevil-and-the-fallen-angels' Theory was neithertaught by(a) the prophets and priests of the OldTestament, nor (b) by Jesus Christ, or (c) any ofthe apostles, disciples (or authors of the Epistles)of the New Testament.

4.4 Where Did The Rumour Come From? Howdid the rumour that the Earth was '4,6 billionyears' old actually begin? It developed in aridiculous manner:Thompson. In 1862, Thompson said the Earthwas '20 million years'old.Thompson. In 1897, Thompson doubled it to'40 million years'.Joly. In 1899, Joly decided that the Earth was'90 millionyears'old.Raleigh. In 1921, Raleigh said the Earth was '1billionyears'old.Hotchkiss. In 1932, W.O. Hotchkiss moved thefigure up to '1,6 billionyears'.Holmes. In 1947, A. Holmes declared PlanetEarth to be exactly'3,35 billionyears'old but,Holmes. In 1956, A. Holmes raised it to '4,5billionyears'.Today. At present, the so-called age of theEarth stands at a wopping '4,6 - 5 billionyears' (Theonlymissing link here appears to be a competentpsychiatrist). Keep a close eye on the pro-evolutionist press ... evolution-inflation mayforce the age of the Earth up yet again.

5. OUR OIL/PETROLEUM AND COAL 'FOSSIL

FUELS'.

5.1 The Deluge Called The Flood. About 4 400years ago ( 2 348 B.C.) our Planet was subjectedto a Worldwide catastrophe known as the Flood.This deluge was accompanied by the force ofdevastating tsunami's, volcanic eruptions andearthquakes roughly the equivalent of 8 billionhydrogen bombs; compounded by the powerfulinfluence of the Moon's tidal forces on Earth,according to some geo-physicists. This musthave caused ocean-basins to sink, continents torise and mountains, as we know them today, toform: 'You covered it[Earth]with the deep as as with a

Why do you look so shocked? All Isaid was: 'All these so-called'homonids'and other fossils ... surely itproves that a pre-adamite race ofpeople and the dinosaurs must haveexisted and went extinct on some sort ofpre-chaotic Earth millions of yearsbefore Adam and Eve and the animalkingdom was created?'
