Abstract: When it comes to human evolution, only the fossils tell the real story. With over thirty-five years of research in the areas of creationism and evolutionism, Professor Marvin Lubenow seeks to disprove both the philosophical and scientific untruths in the theory of human evolution. Lubenow does not place himself in the role of ultimate authority, merely as the man with the courage to coalesce his argument for creationism in a scientific community where dissention is scorned. In addition to providing some splendid arguments which expose the weaknesses of evolutionary assumptions and explanations for both alleged human evolution and evolution in general, Lubenow discusses the actual fossil specimens with their official designations, their putative ages, and their classification according to evolutionists.
