NO MONKEY, PLEASE!

Scripture: Genesis 1:20-31.

Like a religion Evolutionists have been trying to pass off the theory of evolution as scientific fact. But in fact, to date, there is not a shred of scientific evidence to support it. It remains just that, a theory.

Then there is the clever argument that humans have too much in common with apes when it comes to DNA. True we even have a lot in common with worms in our DNA. Do you know why?

We belong to the same class as living creatures --- man, animals, including bugs and all. From the dust of the earth we were made, and to dust we return when death arrives. The only thing that sets man apart is the "breath" (Genesis 2:7, neshema in Hebrew) that God placed on us. It implies inspiration, spirit, intellect, soul. Also the term "ruach" (spirit) is applied to both God and man, indicating spirit and rationality (Genesis 1:2; 41:8,38, etc).

Man can read and write and have rules in traffic, games, business, governments. Man have gone to the moon. Apes have yet to learn to fly a kite. Infinite difference. Man is made in the image of God.


N.B. "...his mind was troubled" (Gen. 41:8, NIV); KJV got the correct word ... "his SPIRIT was troubled".

Theja,
It's true that mankind's DNA has much in common with many species,not just primates however it is with primates that man's DNA is most closely related.This in itself may not be solid proof of a shared ancestry however the physiological similarities between man and apes are such that a link between our species is beyond dispute.For example almost uniquely amongst the animal kingdom man and apes cannot synthesise vitamin C.This is due to a genetic abnormality which could not possibly occur in species which were totally unrelated.Also only mankind and apes have a coccyx-the small bone which protrudes from the base of the spine-which again is solid evidence of a shared ancestry.However the final nail in the creationist coffin is provided by the fossil record which provides ample proof of the various evolutionary stages which the human species has gone through.And as for evolution being only a theory-a theory is as good as it gets in science.Scientists provide hypothesis which can be tested and the great mass of evidence which has been discovered to support evolution has withstood every test it has been subjected to.It is a theory backed by such overwhelming evidence that it cannot be dismissed by anyone who wishes to retain a shred of intellectual credibility.That is not to say however that all of the mechanisms involved in evolution are fully understood however it is fair to say that the great majority of biologists accept the basic principles of Darwin's theory of evolution by means of natural selection.What credible arguments have the creationists come up with to challenge evolution-not one.Every argument they have employed has been shown to be flawed and evolution has not been undermined by their efforts which have persisted for the past 150 years.

Andy, you're promoting a religion, not science.

Let's see how "scientists" tried to introduce the cousin of Tomsawyer as "evidence".

To be sure, throughout known history, chimps have not improved in intelligence all these thousands of years. Even with help from modern mankind, it cannot be trusted with a computer to write its own name.

Here we go...

1. Piltdown man --- turned out to be hoax.
2. Java man --- rejected.
3. Peking man --- bones left by monkey eating Chinese.
4. Nebraska man --- a hoax, developed from a tooth of a pig.
5. Lucy --- classified as extinct.
6. Ramapithecus --- turned out to be orangutan.

Next please.... to be announced by Tomsawyer.

Evolution cannot stand on its own, so it has to feed on in opposition to creation. Since many today are antisupernaturalist, they are at a loss how to explain the world. So they frame nice theories and try to pass them off as science.

To doctrinaire evolutionist Colin Patterson, I say thank you for your honesty: He said ---

"For over 20 years I thought I was working on evolution ... [But} there was not one thing I knew about it .... So for the last few weeks I've tried putting a simple question to various people and groups of people. Question is: "Can you tell me anything you know about evolution, any one thing, any one thing that is true?" I tried that question on the geology staff at the Field Museum of Natural History and the only answer I got was silence. I tried it on the Evolutionary Morphology Seminar in the University of Chicago, a very prestigious body of evolutionists, and all I got was silence for a long time and eventually one person said, "Yes, I do know one thing --- it ought not to be taught in high school".... During the past few years ... you have experienced a shift from evolution as knowledge to evolution as faith.... Evolution not only conveys no knowledge, but seems somehow to convey anti-knowledge."

Some are just holding on to evolution to keep their jobs.

How does extinction (Lucy) prove evolution does not work?

Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon are extinct as well would you also deny they are "Homo" species.

The scientists want to reclassify chimpanzees from their current genus to the "Homo" genus.

Evolution and Darwinism are not exactly the same thing these days.

[Theja]

One does not have to believe in creationism to know that evolution has no scientific evidence.

On its own evolution is a fraud.

RATIONALE. Or SANITY.

Example --- Sanity Lost, Sanity Restored: Nebuchadnezzar.

If this element is absent, mankind is just like any other living beings, apes and all.

God granted this Sanity to mankind that is why we are different. Daniel 4:28-37.
