  until 2 days ago, i was quite uninformed about the scientific evidence
that blew evolution to pieces.  but 2 days ago i found the following book.

  in the book _In The Beginning_ [Walter T. Brown, Jr., 5th edition, (Phoenix:
Center for Scientific Creation, 1989)] Brown shows that in 127 areas, based on
evolutionists' data and quoted conclusions, the theory of organic evolution
is invalid, secondly, the universe, the solar system, the earth, and life
were recently created and thirdly that the earth has experienced a worldwide
flood.

  each of the three above statements dealing with the life sciences, 
astronomical sciences and earth sciences are divided each into three main
arguments:

  organic evolution:
	- organic evolution has never been observed
	- the arguments for evolution are outdated and often illogical
	- new research shows that life is so complex that chance processes
		and even billions of years cannot explain it

  the universe...:
	- naturalistic explanations for the evolution of the solar system
		and universe are unscientific and hopelessy inadequate
	- techniques that argue for an old earth are either illogical or
		are based on unreasonable assumptions
	- most dating techniques indicate that the earth, the solar system,
		and the universe are young.

  that flood thing:
	- archaelogical evidence indicates that Noah's Ark probably exists
	- many of the earth's previously unexplainable features can be
		explained by a cataclysimic flood
	- the seemingly impossible events of a worldwide flood
		are really quite plausible if examined closely


  now i haven't gone through all the sources for the 127 points that
lead to the above conclusions, and i've decided to not bother.  enough
of them are sound and enough are actually quoted that i'm not going to 
go to the effort to check them all, especially when many are from 
darwin himself, and many of the most reputable scientific journals that
have ever existed.  initially i was concerned that Brown was merely
drawing his own conclusions based on potentially ambiguous data, but 
he is merely compiling evolutionists' conclusions from relevant fields
within the earth, life and astronomical sciences based on their own data.
i don't suppose this book represents an exhaustive list of all evolutionists'
attempts to verify evolution and the big bang that ended up supporting 
those theories invalidity, but based even on only about 20-25 of the 127
cases, one can easily see the invalidity of these theories.

  not surprisingly this book may be hard to find, tho any reputable
scientific bookstore ought to have it in stock if you check.  if not,
i've found it in christian bookstores and it can be ordered from the 
publisher:
