1. DIFFERENT 'TYPES' OF 'EVOLUTION'.

1.1 'Evolution' May Be Encountered In ManyGuises. COSMIC-Evolution ('Big Bang'): TheUniverse appears remarkably (withoutGod!) outofnothing through nothing. CHEMICAL-Evolution: The interaction be-tween hydrogen and helium leads remarkably(without God!) to all the Elements of the'Periodic Table'! STAR-Evolution: Stars form remarkably(withoutGod!) out of compressed gas, clots anddust! ORGANIC-Evolution:Life appears remarkably(withoutGod!)out of a primordial soup mixture... Life from Non-Life! MACRO-Evolution: Crossbreedingremarkably (without God!) between majorspecies in basic categories! MICRO-Evolution: Variations within thesame species (without God!) leading to manysubspecies!

1.2 'Micro-Evolution' A Gross Misnomer.Christians (Creationists') do not consider so-called 'Micro-Evolution' (the only 'observableevolution') as 'Evolution' at all, but only asvariations upon a theme within major species ...with many subspecies as a result. The diversity

within God's Creation is surprisingly rich,without the aid of so-called 'evolution'! Thebreeding of, for instance, a new dog-breed, is notdue to evolutionary processes, but thanks to thepossibility of a biological variation upon aspecific theme, i.e. dogs. Both the parents ofthat new breed were still dogs ... have you everobserved a dog being born from a non-dog, or afinch from a non-finch, or a moth from a non-moth?

1.3 True 'Evolution'? (a) The Brown Bear? True 'Evolution'would bewhere the hippopotamus or the North Americanbrown bear 'evolve' (change over time) into awhale, as Charles Darwin actually believed!

(Hippo/Brown Bear + Evolution Whale). Do yourealise that this could actually mean the solutionto the whale-fishing industry! It has, of course,neverhappened and cannot everhappen.

(b) Darwin's Finches. Darwin's finches in theGalapogos-Islands, although many subspecies,were all still finches, and their parents were allstill birds. Have you ever observed a birdbeingborn from a non-bird?

(c) The Peppered Moth? The 'Peppered Moth'in England, although more than one subspecies,had parents that were all still moths ... have youever observed a moth being born from a non-moth? Darwinists (Evolutionists) neverthelessact in 'Nature'-programmes (Video/TV/DSTV)

to be an atheist without God. An atheist is onewho does notbelieve in God, so, withoutGod, theatheist cannot be an atheist ... he won't haveanyone not to believe in. Anyway, thisremarkable series of 'biological accidents' or'white magic' ofEvolution is then explainedwiththe aid of a set of recipes supposed to be'operating' in Nature, e.g.:

'Natural Selection' (Darwinism) Natural Selection + Mutations (Neo-Darwinism) Hopeful Monsters (PunctuatedEquilibrium) The Inheritance Of Acquired Characteristics

(Lamarckism)

[PS. The $1 million dollar-question: Since whenare recipes the result of random, brainless,coincidental accidents? (Chefs will laugh theevolutionists out of the house)].

3. THE RIDICULOUS 'PRE-ADAMITE RACE'THEORY.

3.1 A Primitive Superstition. Thisdisconcerting superstition i.e. that a 'pre-adamite race' must have existed (and goneextinct, obviously) on some 'pre-chaotic Earth'long before Gnesis 1 or Adam & Eve (orsomewhere between Gnesis 1:1 and Gnesis 1:2)is oneof the the tragic results emanating from

'Creative Evolution', a pathetic effort byuninformed theists (believers in God) to appearfashionably 'scientific' to their friends. This 'Pre-Adamite Race-Theory'is Unscriptural because:

(a) Adam & Eve The First people. The Bibleclearly 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; 1 Kor.15:22,45; 1 Tim.2:13)

(b)No Other People Existed. No people of anykind could have existed before Gnesis 2:5: ' ... Andevery plant of the field before it was in the earth, and everyherb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had notcaused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man totill the ground'. The first man, Adam, was createdinGnesis 2:7, and before Adam there was no man(of any kind) to 'till the ground'.

(c) Nobody Or Nothing Could Have Died.Nobody or no animals of any kind e.g. landanimals, amphibians, birds, reptiles, dinosaurs,insects etc. could have existed or died beforeGnesis 1 or before Adam & Eve and the animalkinfdom were created on Days 5 & 6 of theCreation Week in Genesis 1, for DEATH as aconcept or phenomenon came into existence forthe first time only after it was introduced byAdam (Gn.3:19; Rom.5:14; 1 Cor.15:22). The firstanimals and the first people died for the firsttime in the history of this planet only after Adamhad introduced DEATH into the world throughsin. I put it categorically that no people oranimals ever (i)could have existedor(ii) could

have died before Gnesis 1 or before Adam & Eveand the animal kingdom were created on Days 5& 6 ofCreation Week. Herewith we are hopefullyalso finally rid of the ridiculous Gap Theory (theso-called 'millions of years' that transpiredbetween Gnesis 1:1 and Gnesis 1:2).

(c) The Dinosaurs Were Created By God. Thedinosaurians (actually 'dinocrocodilians', as thedinosaurs were probably closer related tocrocodiles than to lizards) did not 'evolve' over'millions of years' as alleged by the evolutionists,but were created by God on Day 6 of CreationWeek within 24 hours, together with all the otheranimals. 'All things were made by him [GOD]; and withouthim [GOD] was not any thing made that was made'.(Jhn.1:3). There were nothing sinister aboutdinosaurs ... they were animals like any otheranimals, and probably grew so large because theynever stopped growing, in a near-perfectenvironment, for hundreds of years. Reptilesnever stop growing until they die.

(d) The Devil Cannot Create. It is thus clearfrom Jhn.1:3 that the Devil never createdanything at all ... he won't be able to create asmuch as a gnat if his life depended on it. TheDevil is the master of perdition (the 'Destroyer')and can only destroy as far as his perverse talentstretches, unless one chooses to employ the word'create' poetically ... for certainly the Devil cancreate (cause) havoc.

(e) The Devil No Match For God. Don't believethat myth that the Devil is somehow on par withGod like some sort of evil alter-ego, with both ofthem jostling for position and leadership,haunting and frustrating Creation like a type ofschizophrenic Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde. God is the(i) ('uncreated') Creator and ('omnipotent')Almighty ... and the Devil (ii) a ('created')creature and vastly inferior rebel with adisgustingly suspect past and unenviable,miserable future. Nevertheless, everything wascreated by God and without God nothing wascreated that was ever created.

3.2 Creation-Week. Pro-evolutionist 'theists'(people who believe in God) try very hard to

ascribe long periods to the process of Creation.They will for instance allege that God never reallycreated the World in 6 literal days of 24 hourseach,(Total = 144 hours: Heb. 'Yom')but ratherover e.g. '6 millenniums of 1000 years' each; or'6 eons of time over millions ofyears'. This maybedue to: (a) Their mechanical interpretation ofthe scripture that reads: 'But, beloved, be not ignorantof this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousandyears

, and a thousand years as one day. (2 Pet.3:8); (b)They do not consider God as really omnipotentenough (!) to have created the World in 144hours; (c) They insist on a CompromiseCreation Model to accommodate the evolution-minded members in their local churches;

as if their 'Finch & Peppered Moth-Evolution'were ratified seven times by the ConstitutionalCourt.

2. TWO MAJOR WORLDVIEWS I.R.O.'EVOLUTION'.

2.1 'Atheistic Evolution'. This is suppose tomean 'Evolution Without God' ... a strangetautology as Evolution is anyway, per definition,atheistic to begin with. One might just as wellsay 'free gift' (It is not illegal ... only silly).

2.2 'Theistic Evolution'/'Creative Evolution'(Anomaly). This is suppose to mean 'EvolutionWith God' ... a strange anomaly as Evolution isanyway, per definition, a phenomenon that issupposed to happen without God i.e.evolutionists teach that evolution is anunplanned, brainless process, a progressivebiological accident that takes place randomlywithout the aid or assistance of IntelligentDesign, Special Creation or an Intelligent FirstCause. Philosophically, the idea of 'CreativeEvolution' is as ridiculous as the anomaly'satanic church or 'rap music'. 'TheisticEvolution' is sometimes also referred to as'Creative Evolution', a last-ditch effort by'theists' (believers in God) to make 'TheisticEvolution' sound more plausible in public, and

also to, theologically, accommodate theirevolutionist-friends' New Age, Secular-Humanist Atheism & Agnosticism.

2.2 Genesis & Evolution? The (Genesis) Story-Of-Creation and Evolution are totallyirreconcilable, and there is no way in which Godused Evolution (like a process or a tool) to 'make'or 'maintain' this Universe, the World and theliving organisms in it. Jesus changed water intowine, and 3 fishes and 5 loaves of bread intothousands of portions in a matter of minutes, tofeed the multitude ... so why would He (a) need15 billion years to create a Universe; (b)5 billionyears to create a Solar System (and planetEarth) and (c) 1,75 3 million years to create

homo sapiens ('wise man') & homo sapienssapiens ('wise wise man').

2.3 Atheism's Legacy. Atheism rejects theconcept of a God, Divine Providence, a SupremeBeing, Intelligent Design and Special Creation.The entire 'process of Evolution' takes place,according to evolutionists, randomly andspontaneously ... an absolute brainless,purposeless coincidence; a remarkable series ofcreative biological accidents! One mustunderstand that Atheism, per se, is a religion,and not a neutral, sterile philosophy invented bywise old sages reeking with wisdom, fish oil andtobacco. It is a religion because it is impossible

(d) They are simply not mentally equipped todevelop counter-arguments against thearguments of the evolutionists ... after all, Howcan the 'scientists' be wrong?

Explanation: When the Bible states that 'one dayis with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand yearsas one day',it simply means that, for God, Time isrelative. He is not the prisoner ofTime or of theLaws of the Universe. God exists and operatesindependently of any limitations and constraintsposed by Matter, Space and Time, and, shouldwe insist on a mechanical interpretation of 2Pet.3:8 we will have to be consistent and teach that

Jesus spent 3 000 years ('3 days') in the graveafter the crucifixion.

4. SOME CRITICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEENHUMANS AND APES.

4.1 DNA-Realities. Scientists who are regularlyengaged in work involving DNA will confirm thatEvolution across major species (such as betweenapes and humans) are impossible, as the DNS-code in every animal-type possesses a securitymechanism ('firewall') that prohibits it: Darwin'sgradualism was bounded by internal constraints, beyondwhich selection was useless(R. Milner, 'Encyclopedia Of Evolution',p.46-1990).

4.2 Language Problems. Apes have, after

'millions of years', never been able to learn tospeak and also willnever be! This gift is uniqueto humans, as the human brain possesses aspecial facility called 'Proca's Convolution', thatarea in the brain responsible for speech inhumans. Apes/animals do not have such afacility: Human language appears to be a uniquephenomenon

, without significant analogue in the animalworld (Noam Chomsky, 'Language And Mind', p.67 -1972).

4.3 Apes Are Incredibly Stupid. MacRoberts,an Evolutionist-researcher, regrets the fact that,after 'millions of years', apes are still so stupid:Given their hands and huge brains, its amazing apes andmonkeys don't do a lot more tool-using. They're incrediblystupid. (Michael MacRoberts, Quoted In R. Milner, 'Encyclopedia Of

Evolution', p.438 -1990).

4.4 No Transitional Fossils Between MajorSpecies. Out of more than100 million classifiedfossil-fragments in the World, not even o ne singlefragment can be cited as an example of atransitional fossilto illustrate Evolution betweenspecies such as apes and humans, andevolutionists have been searching for them forover a 100 years! Out of billions of fossilsprobably still buried in the rich Karoo-formation,no transitional fossil has ever surfaced there toillustrate Evolution between species. If Evolutionwere true, there would have existed many livetransitional examples of the transition between

apes and humans. We would have observed(i) Apes engaged in adopting the limbs,appearance, behaviour, habits, language,mathematical capabilities, religious expression,commercial activities, culture and dress ofHumans; and (ii) Humans finally shedding theappearance, habits and behaviourof Apes. Haveyou ever met someone who fits this description?IfEvolution were true, which moral law compelsus to wear clothes? (its darn expensive!); and whyhave humans, in contrast to apes, never shed thepsychological baggage of their ingrained 'sense of'shame'?

4.5 Anatomy. (a) Primates are forced by theirspine, which enters the skull from 'behind' at analmost horizontal angle, to walk on all fours mostof the time. The Human-spine enters the skullvertically from 'below' at an angle of almost 90,forcing humans to walk upright. (b) Even hadprimates been able to walk upright (e.g. thegibbon) it still would not have sufficed as anargument forEvolution. The penguin also walksupright ... so, have we now descended frompenguins? (c) The (i) number of vertebrae,(ii) skull-capacity [humans 750cc. /apes 750cc. ('Keith's Rubicon')], (iii) rib-structure and(iv) DNA between humans and apes differirrevocably.

REMEMBER

The remarkable similarities (sometimes) betweenhumans and apes are not due to a Mutual Ancestor,but due to a Mutual Creator... Jesus Christ!

5. HOAXES AND MISREPRESENTATIONS.

5.1 Evolution's Dubious Icons. Many of the so-called 'proofs for Evolution' were eitherfalsifications or misrepresentations, e.g.:(a) Archaeopteryx (hoax); (b) Java Man (gibbon-ape); (c) Lucy (ape); (d) Piltdown Man (hoax); (e)Peking Man (misrepresentation); (f) Nebraska Man(tooth of a pig); (g) Orce-Man (skull of a 4-month olddonkey); (h) Mrs. Ples (ape); (i) Rhodesian Man(human); (j) the Taung-Child (ape) and (k)

Neanderthal Man (ordinary, aged human probablysuffering from arthritis, diabetes and rickets. The bone-deformities responsible for that well-known Neanderthal-look were probably caused by these diseases combinedwith high age and chronic Vitamin D-deficiencies).

5.2 The Coelacanth-Joke. The Evolutionistshave a history of the fabrication of so-called'fossil-evidence'. Their greatest embarrassmentmust surely be the discovery of a live specimen ofthe coelacanth-fish ('extinct for 70 million years'),which were caught off the coast of South Africand Mozambique on 22 December 1938(thereafter more live specimens were found). Toadd insult to injury (and not entirelymy fault!)

a the living specimen lookedexactly like the so-called '70 million year'old fossil-specimen ... i.e.no 'Evolution'had occurred at all.

6. BIBLICAL ARCHEOLOGY MORE RELIABLETHAN PALEONTOLOGY.

6.1 If Planet Earth Were Really '5 Billion Years'Old.

(a) Why No Records? Why do the oldestrecords (languages; writing, mathematical andjudicial systems, etc.) of earlier civilisations neverdate further back than 2 000 3 500 B.C.? Whydo the oldest Biblical-Archeologicalrecords (veryreliable!) never date further back than 1 510 1 450 B.C.?

(b)Why No Development? Why no significantdevelopment for '1,75 million'to '3 million years'at 'Maropeng' ('Cradle Of Humankind')? Whereare the pyramids, ziggurats, clay tablets, papyrusscrolls and ancient astronomical-observationsand instruments? What did Mrs. Ples do withher time ... watch 'Oprah'?

(c) Why No Solar Eclipses? Why no records ofsolar eclipses ever observed by humans (aftercenturies of astronomical observation) before2 250 B.C.?

(e)Why No Writing Systems? Why no (more-ancient) writing system than the Sumerian claytablets of3 500 B.C.? Why no earlier Western-

type handwriting (proto-Sinatical) than 1 550B.C.?

(g) Why No Languages? Why no olderlanguages on record than 3 000 B.C.?

6.2Population Statistics. Population-statisticsindicate that, in the year 3 300 B.C., there couldhave been onlyone family on Earth. If humansincreased in accordance with Evolutionist-arguments, and the human race were, e.g., only'one million years' old (even at the low annualgrowth-rate of 0,01%) the World-population atthe time of the birth of Christ would have been2 x 103 ... that means so many people that 1 000Solar Systems comprising 9 planets each (i.e.9 000 planet 'Earths') would not have been able

to contain the population!

6.3 Creation By Divine Decree. God's great actof the Creation of our World (there may be otherswe don't yet know of) probably appeared byDivine Decree out of a 'Metaphysical Space'through 'Metaphysical Processes' driven by'Metaphysical Causes' ... empirically totallyundetectable. Today, astronomers, cosmologists,astrophysicists and geophysicists endeavourbravely to detect and explain 'MetaphysicalCauses' and 'Metaphysical Processes' with theaid of ('primitive') naturalist-instruments,-processes and -knowledge ... talk aboutambitious!
