When Evolutionists Tell the Truth

Introduction to Religion by Richard Norbeck “ How Religion Originated. Among the non-scholarly populations of at least the civilized world, surely the most common idea is that religion, if it be true, has been divinely revealed.

Introduction to Religion by Richard Norbeck Divine revelation as an explanation of religious genesis has no place in this book, and under ordinary circumstances all theological interpretations of the origins of religion would be dismissed from consideration as irrelevant or prejudicial.”

Biology Prentice Hall, p. 386 “Darwin’s theory of evolution presented a new way of life…This view…continues to be upheld by research today…All organisms on Earth are united into a single tree of life by common descent.”

On the Origin of the Universe

Scientific American G. Burbidge, 266(2):96, ‘92 Big bang cosmology is probably as widely believed as has been any theory of the universe in the history of Western civilization... It rests, however, on many untested, and in some cases untestable, assumptions. Indeed, big bang cosmology has become a bandwagon of thought that reflects faith as much as objective truth.”

Until The Sun Dies Dr. Robert Jastrow “The Universe, & everything that has happened in it since the beginning of time, are a grand effect without a known cause.” “In science, as in the Bible, the world begins with an act of creation. That view has not always been held by scientists.”

Until The Sun Dies Dr. Robert Jastrow “Only as a result of the most recent discoveries can we say with a fair degree of confidence that the world has not existed forever; that it began abruptly, without apparent cause, in a blinding event that defies scientific explanation.”

On the Appearance of Life

Until The Sun Dies Dr. Robert Jastrow “Science still has no answer to the riddle of life. The record of the first billion years of the earth’s existence has been erased – the magic period when life evolved here. The theory of the chemical origin of life is held by scientists as an article of faith without proof.” (ibid)

Until The Sun Dies Dr. Robert Jastrow “Many chemists have tried, and their results shed some light on the problem, but the gap between nonlife and life remains. At present, science has no satisfactory answer to the question of the origin of life on the earth.” Pg. 62

Evolution: A Theory in Crisis Dr. Michael Denton “Considering the way the prebiotic soup is referred to in so many discussions of the origin of life as an already established reality, it comes as something of a shock to realize that there is absolutely no positive evidence for its existence.”

The Intelligent Universe Michael Joseph Quote from Sir Frederick Hoyle

On the Evolution of Life

Biologists would dearly like to know how modern apes, modern humans and the various ancestral hominids have evolved from a common ancestor. Unfortunately, the fossil record is somewhat incomplete as far as the hominids are concerned, and it is all but blank for the apes…

The Making of Mankind Richard E. Leakey “David Pilbeam [a well-known expert in human evolution] comments wryly, ‘If you brought in a smart scientist from another discipline and showed him the meager evidence we’ve got he’d surely say, “ forget it: there isn’t enough to go on. ”’”

Ad for Evolution Without Selection A. Lima de Faria “The interpretation of evolution is in a state of upheaval: the rapid advancement of Molecular Biology has led into question many of the tenets of Darwinism and neo-Darwinism…

Ad for Evolution Without Selection A. Lima de Faria which, although valuable approaches at the time they were formulated, never fulfilled the criteria demanded by real scientific theories... In the author’s opinion, no real theory of evolution can be formulated at present.”

On The Evolution of Life Niles Eldredge, the paleontologist and evolutionist: “We paleontologists have said that the history of life supports [the theory of gradual adaptive change, dc], all the while really knowing that it does not.” – from Darwin On Trial

On The Evolution of Life “The neo-Darwinist is now reaching the point of dignity in the history of science that the Ptolemaic system in astronomy, the epicycle system, reached long ago. We know that it does not work. And that is interesting…

On The Evolution of Life Because from the actual structure of the chromosome we can demonstrate that the human species did not come from a progressive humanization of a pre- human.”

On The Evolution of Life Dr. Graeme Patterson, Sr. Principle Officer of Paleontology, British Museum of Natural History, challenged his colleagues… to name one thing they knew to be true about evolution. NO ONE DID.

The Motive Behind Evolution

Sir Arthur Keith (evolutionist): “Evolution is unproven and un-provable. We believe it because the only alternative is special creation, which is unthinkable.”

The Motive Behind Evolution “I had motive for not wanting the world to have a meaning; consequently assumed that 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 concerned to prove that there is no valid reason why he personally

The Motive Behind Evolution should not do as he wants to do, or why his friends should not seize political power and govern in the way that they find most advantageous to themselves. … For myself, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation, sexual and political.” Aldous Huxley, Ends and Means, p. 270ff.

The Motive Behind Evolution “They [most Americans] believe that the Earth is billions of years old and that life evolved gradually from simple to complex forms. But they also believe that evolution was a means by which God carried out a plan to create humans. For tactical reasons, Darwinists don’t rush to tell all these people that they are missing the point…

The Motive Behind Evolution but all in good time. Let people first learn that evolution is a fact. They can be told later what evolution means.”

The Motive Behind Evolution “We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of t/tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment …

The Motive Behind Evolution a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter- intuitive, no matter how mystifying…

The Motive Behind Evolution “Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door. ” Richard Lewontin, “Billions and billions of demons”, The N. Y. Review, January 9, 1997, p. 31.

The Motive Behind Evolution “One is forced to conclude that many scientists and technologists pay lip- service to Darwinian theory only because it supposedly excludes a Creator.”

The Results of Evolution

The Result of Evolution “It is absolutely safe to say that, if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I’d rather not consider that).” (Richard Dawkins, Oxford Prof. New York Times book review, 1989)

The Antidote to Evolution
