Creation’s Unheard Argument

Since the 1960’s, evolution has been taught in schools and believed by a majority of people. One group has refused to believe in evolution, and it makes a strong opposition to Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory. This anti-evolutionary crowd which refuses to believe that man has evolved from apes, is called the creationist group. Creationists believe that man was created by God and not by chance.

Popular science seems to side with evolution, and yet great scientists such as Galileo, Newton, Kepler, and Boyle were all faithful creationists (Matter and Motion 270-271). Granted, these men lived at a time before the theory of evolution was formed, but if their great minds could think of no other possibility than creation then that is a testament to creation. Both viewpoints deserve consideration, but creation shows more stability when tested by reason. The creation viewpoint explains man’s origin by presenting sound evidence.

Truthfully, creation, like evolution, is impossible to prove because we cannot go back in time to experience the beginning as it happened. Despite this fact, evolution is widely accepted. Since neither evolution nor creation can be proven, the two should be looked at objectively by using scientific evidence.

An argument for evolution claims that creation is too shaky; it is all faith. To such a comment, Australian geologist Arthur N. Fields says, “What is evolution based upon. Upon nothing whatever but faith, upon belief in the reality of the unseen – belief in fossils that cannot be produced, belief in the embryological evidence that does not exist, belief in the breeding experiments that won’t come off. It is faith ‘unjustified by works’” (qtd. in Matter and Motion 287).

Much of the evidence that supports creation has not been recognized. For instance, anthropologist Richard Leakey found a skull that was determined to be two point eight million years old. The skull was of a modern human. After finding the skull he said, “Either we toss out this skull, or we toss out our theories of early man” (qtd. in Matter and Motion 298). If man has evolved over time, why did a two-point eight million-year-old skull look the same as a modern day human’s skull. It is clearly evidence of creation because it is older than the evolution of man. This type of fossil is “misplaced” by evolutionists. They explain it as a fluke. Another example of a misplaced fossil would be footprints of a normal human next to footprints of a dinosaur (Morris and Parker 161-163). For evolution to be true, a fossil like that would be impossible, yet it has been found. Another problem with evolution’s time scale is the placement of a trilobite as the first organism. The trilobite was supposedly extinct long before man and yet a footprint of an ancient shoe contained the fossil of a squished trilobite (Wysong 379).

Charles Darwin was not a stranger to creationist fossil evidence. To fossil evidence he said, it was “perhaps the most obvious and serious objection which could be urged against the theory [of evolution]” (qtd. in Morris and Parker 130). Despite his words, Darwin chose to believe his theory, hoping that future generations would find the missing links. It has now been over one hundred and twenty years since Darwin founded evolution and still no evidence has been found (130-131).

Creation not only has an abundance of evidence of evolutionary animals living at times that contradict evolution’s time scale; it also has evidence of the proclaimed Great Flood. Evolutionists deny the Great Flood because, just like creation, it comes from the Bible, but creationists have evidence that proves that it occurred. Many trees that would have rotted if they did not have a quick burial have been found fossilized through several different evolutionary eras (Wysong 366). A Great Flood that misplaced a lot of mud and rock was needed to produce such a phenomenon. The evolutionary slow deposit theory just does not work. The evolutionary slow deposit theory states that layers of rock are formed through time with each layer belonging to a specific time. Fossils are dated merely by what level of rock they are in. An ammonite, which is a shellfish, has been found sticking through twenty million years of evolutionary time scale rock (Morris and Parker 168). Such evidence doesn’t bode well for evolution’s time scale. Evolutionists cannot deny the flood theory with such evidence. If the Flood occurred and it was related in the Bible, why shouldn’t creation be considered with the Flood.

Evidence for creation does not stop with fossils and evidence of the Great Flood. Science has some big problems with evolution. A law of science directly opposes evolution and agrees with creation. The Second Law of Thermodynamics clearly states that the universe is wearing down with time. That means that it would have to start at the highest point, which is equivalent to creation. Evolution, on the other hand, says that everything is becoming greater and more sophisticated (Matter and Motion 285). Science has another problem with the sophistication of life. A basic need of life is the existence of DNA. Dr. Eric Norman did work on combining DNA subunits and it took him many months to combine three units. A DNA molecule has millions of subunits. Dr. Norman’s process also required a water-free en
