Evolution is more credible than Creationism

Opponent Fact #1 - Species adapt to their environment through natural selection. ""Not one change of species into another is on record ... we cannot prove that a single species has been changed." Charles Darwin, - My Life & Letters Charles Darwin, - Origin of Species, Chapter Difficulties ""To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I Freely Confess, Absurd In The Highest Degree." Opponent Fact #2 " Fossils of some species exhibit traits of being transitional species. Giraffes have some identical skeletal traits as Horses, even some of the exact same internal organs. Are we to believe the Horse is a new species of the same animal? Tom Kemp, - Oxford University ""As is well known, most fossil species appear instantaneously in the fossil record." Dr. David Raup, - Curator of Geology, Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago ""...most people assume that fossils provide a very important part of the general argument in favour of Darwinian interpretations of the history of life. Unfortunately, this is not strictly true." David Kitts, - Ph.D. Palaeontology and Evolutionary Theory, Evolution, Vol. 28 Sept. 1974 p.467 ""Despite the bright promise that palaeontology provides means of "seeing" Evolution, it has provided some nasty difficulties for Evolutionists, the most notorious of which is the presence of "gaps" in the fossil record. Evolution requires intermediate forms between species and palaeontology does not provide them." William R. Fix, - The Bone Pedlars, New York: Macmillan Publishing Company, 1984, p.150 ""The fossil record pertaining to man is still so sparsely known that those who insist on positive declarations can do nothing more than jump from one hazardous surmise to another and hope that the next dramatic discovery does not make them utter fools ... Clearly some refuse to learn from this. As we have seen, there are numerous scientists and popularizers today who have the temerity to tell us that there is "no doubt" how man originated: if only they had the evidence..." Francis Hitching, - Archaeologist ""The curious thing is that there is a consistency about the fossil gaps; the fossils are missing in all the important places." J. O" Rourke, - In The American Journal of Science ""The intelligent layman has long suspected circular reasoning in the use of rocks to date fossils and fossils to date rocks. The geologist has never bothered to think of a good reply." Dr. Gary Parker, - Biologist/Palaeontologist and Former Ardent Evolutionist ""In most people"s minds, fossils and Evolution go hand in hand. In reality, fossils are a great embarrassment to evolutionary theory and offer strong support for the concept of Creation. If Evolution were true, we should find literally millions of fossils that show how one kind of life slowly and gradually changed to another kind of life. But missing links are the trade secret, in a sense, of palaeontology. The point is, the links are still missing. What we really find are gaps that sharpen up the boundaries between kinds. It"s those gaps which provide us with the evidence of Creation of separate kinds. As a matter of fact, there are gaps between each of the major kinds of plants and animals. Transition forms are missing by the millions. WHAT WE DO FIND ARE SEPARATE AND COMPLEX KINDS, POINTING TO CREATION." Michael Denton, - "Evolution, A Theory in Crisis" Page 358 ""Ultimately, the Darwinian theory of Evolution is no more nor less than the great cosmogenic myth of the twentieth century." K. Hsu, - Geologist At The Geological Institute At Zurich ""We have had enough of the Darwinian fallacy. It is time that we cry: "THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES" Sir Fred Hoyle, - Evolutionist ""The notion that ... the operating programme of a living cell could be arrived at by chance in a primordial soup here on earth is evidently nonsense of a high order." Scott M. Huse, - The Collapse of Evolution Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, Michigan, pp 127 ""Far from being an established fact of science that it is so typically portrayed to be, Evolution is, in reality, an unreasonable and unfounded hypothesis that is riddled with countless scientific fallacies." Dr. T. N. Tahmisian, - A Former U.S. Atomic Energy Commission Physiologist ""Scientists who go about teaching that Evolution is a fact of life are great con men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever. In explaining Evolution we do not have one iota of fact." Dr, Louise Bounoure, - Director of Research at the French National Centre for Scientific Research, Director of the Zoological Museum and former president of the Biological Society of Strasbourg ""Evolution is a fairy tale for grown-ups. This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless." George Kocan, - Evolution Isn't Faith But Theory, Chicago Tribune 9 Monday April 21 1980 ""Unfortunately many scientists and non-scientists have made Evolution into a religion, something to be defended against infidels. In my experience, many students of biology - professors and textbook writers included - have been so carried away with the arguments for Evolution that they neglect to question it. They preach it ... College students, having gone through such a closed system of education, themselves become teachers, entering high schools to continue the process, using textbooks written by former classmates or professors. High standards of scholarship and teaching break down. Propaganda and the pursuit of power replace the pursuit knowledge. Education becomes a fraud." I. L. Cohen, - Darwin Was Wrong - A Study in Probabilities P.O. Box 231, Greenvale, New York 11548: New Research Publications, Inc. pp 6-8, 209-210, 214-215. I.L.Cohen, Member of the New York Academy of Sciences and Officer of the Archaeological Institute of America. ""Any suppression which undermines and destroys that very foundation on which scientific methodology and research was erected, Evolutionist or otherwise, cannot and must not be allowed to flourish ... It is a confrontation between scientific objectivity and ingrained prejudice - between logic and emotion - between fact and fiction ... In the final analysis, objective scientific logic has to prevail - no matter what the final result is - no matter how many time-honoured idols have to be discarded in the process ... After all, it is not the duty of science to defend the theory of Evolution and stick by it to the bitter end -no matter what illogical and unsupported conclusions it offers ... If in the process of impartial scientific logic, they find that creation by outside intelligence is the solution to our quandary, then let"s cut the umbilical chord that tied us down to Darwin for such a long time. It is choking us and holding us back ... Every single concept advanced by the theory of Evolution (and amended thereafter) is imaginary as it is not supported by the scientifically established probability concepts. Darwin was wrong... The theory of Evolution may be the worst mistake made in science." Sir Fred Hoyle, - Well-Known British Mathematician, Astronomer & Cosmologist ""Once we see, however, that the probability of life originating at random is so utterly minuscule as to make it absurd, it becomes sensible to think that the favourable properties of physics on which life depends are in every respect deliberate .... It is therefore almost inevitable that our own measure of intelligence must reflect ... higher intelligences ... even to the limit of God ... such a theory is so obvious that one wonders why it is not widely accepted as being self-evident. The reasons are psychological rather than scientific."
