It is useless." -Professor Louis Bounoure, Director of the Strasbourg Zoological Museum ________________________________________________________________________________ 1. WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY ABOUT THE BIBLE IN CLASSROOMS? "The Bible may constitutionally be used in an appropriate study of history, civilization, ethics, comparative religion, or the like." -Stone v. Graham, 449 U.S. 39, 42 (1980) Supreme Court. "No statute exists in any state to bar instruction in creation science, it could be taught before and it can be taught now." -famous evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould, The Verdict On Creationism, NY Times July 19, 1987 p 34. This was after the 1987 Louisiana Supreme Court case struck down the balanced treatment act. The bottom line is: no law requires that evolution be taught in the first place, so no law should require creation be taught either. This is also why the Dover, Pa case failed as well. "Communism is the goal." -Roger Baldwin, founder of the ACLU, speaking on what the purpose of the ACLU is.

________________________________________________________________________________ 2. WHAT IS THE TIMELINE OF LIFE ON EARTH? "As the Earth formed the surface was hot and there were large pools of bubbling lava....Millions of years of torrential rains created oceans. Swirling in the oceans was a bubbling broth of complex chemicals, and from this primordial soup came the first life on Earth...progress from a complex chemical soup to a living organism is very slow." -Holt, Earth Science, 1994 p. 280-282 "The first self replicating systems must have emerged in this organic soup." -Biology, the unity and diversity of life, Wadsworth, 1992 p. 301 "Humans probably evolved from bacteria that lived more than 4 billion years ago." -HBJ Earth Science, 1989 p. 356 "The first living cells emerged between 4 billion and 3.8 billion years ago. There is no record of the event." -Biology The Unity and Diversity of Life, Wadsworth 1992, p. 300 "About 30 million years ago, larger primates such as monkeys and apes evolved. The earliest fossil apes that may be ancestral to humans and modern apes date 15-20 million years ago." -HBJ General Science, 1989 p. 385 "You are an animal and share a common heritage with earthworms." -Biology: Visualizing Life, Holt, 1994 (should any Christian want their child to be taught this?) ________________________________________________________________________________ 3. WHAT LIES DO AMERICAN TEXTBOOKS TEACH? The whale has a vesitigal pelvis. -Curtis & Barnes, Biology, 1989 p. 969 The whale has a vestigial pelvis and partial leg bone. -Holt Biology 1994, p. 182 "Whales have a vestigial pelvis and leg bones that serve no purpose." -Glenco Biology Living Systems 1998 p. 311 "The whale's pelvis is located far from the vertebrae and has no apparent function." -Holt Biology, 2001 p. 288 "Just imagine whales walking around, it's true." -Eyes on Nature, Whales and Dolphins, 1994 p. 6 What is being referred to as vestigial pelvis and legs in whales are actually bones used as anchor points for reproductive muscles used in mating, they are also different in the male and female. What are called vestigial legs in snakes are actually tiny hooks used in mating. Human appendix is vestigial. -Glenco Biology, 1994 p. 311 Human appendix is not vestigial, it is a part of your immune system -Roy Hartenstein, Grolier Encyclopedia 1998 "Humans have a tailbone with no apparent use." -Holt Biology 1989 "The coccyx is a small bone at the end of the human vertebral column and is thought to be the remainder of bones that occupied the long tail of a tree dwelling ancestor." -Heath Biology, 1991 p. 264 The tailbone actually has 9 muscles that attach to it that have to do with controlling bowel movements, some people born without tailbones, or those who need to have theirs surgically removed due to injury, sometimes have to wear diapers. The tailbone is also the end of the spinal cord, so it is curved in between the contours of the buttocks to make sitting comfortable, and prevent pressure on the spinal cord.

Red giant stars evolve into white dwarf stars over billions of years. -Prentice Hall Earth Science, 1995 (see section 5 of this text file) the rocks date the fossils but the fossils date the rocks more accurately. -Glenco Biology 1994 p. 306-307 (see section 20 of this text file) Natural selection causes evolution. -Holt Biology, 1994 p. 186 "Over a long period of time, natural selection can lead to evolution." -Prentice Hall, Focus on Life Science, 2001 p. 141 (see section 23 of this text file) It is not necessarily easy to "see" macroevolutionary history; there are no firsthand accounts to be read. -Berkley website explanation evolution http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/0_0_0/evo_48 ________________________________________________________________________________ 4. THE BIG BANG? "18-20 billion years ago, all the matter in the universe was concentrated into a very dense, very hot region that may have been smaller than a period on this page. For some unknown reason, this region exploded. This explosion is called the big bang." -Prentice Hall, General Science, 1992 p. 61 "All of the matter and energy will once again be packed into a small area...then another big bang will occur...this may occur every 80-100 billion years." -Prentice Hall, Earth Science, 1991 p. 36-37 "Nothing really means nothing. However, physicists theorize that from this state of nothingness, the universe began in a gigantic explosion." -HBJ General Science, 1989 p. 362 "The universe burst into something from absolutely nothing--zero, nada. And as it got bigger, it became filled with even more stuff that came from absolutely nowhere. How is that possible? Ask Alan Guth, his theory of inflation helps explain everything." -Discover magazine, April 2002 The big bang theory was started by George Edward Lemaitre. According to Isaac Asimov, at the very least the concentrated matter was 2,000 lightyears across (12 trillion miles). But by 1965 the new theory said it was 275 million miles across 1972--71 million 1974--54 thousand 1983--1 trillionth of the diameter of a proton April, 2002--Discover magazine says "nothing, just a singularity" Scientific American says Alan Guth has a good explanation for this nothingness. ________________________________________________________________________________ 5. THE AGE OF THE EARTH? In 1770 George Buffon said the Earth was 70,000 years old. 1905--2 billion years old. -Newsweek, July 20th, 1958 1969--3.5 billion. -Minneapolis Tribune, August 25, 1969 2005--4.6 billion This equals adjusting 21 million years per year for the last 220 years, or 40 years per minute.

"Based on DNA studies, secular scientists are now theorizing there was a catastrophe 70,000 years ago that reduced the human population to a few thousand, creating a genetic bottleneck." -Discovery Channel, May 12, 2002 (they propose it was a volcano) Jupiter's moon, Ganymede has a strong magnetic field, this is caused by liquid motion of molten metal inside a body. Yet Ganymede should have cooled solid billions of years ago. -Holt, Earth Science, 1994 p. 57 The Sahara Desert is about 4,000 years old. -Geophysical Research Letters, study led by Martin Claussen for the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, July 15, 1999 Oil can be made in 1,000 to 10,000 years. -Leigh Price, Journal of Petroleum Geology vol.6 #1 July 1983, p. 22 Converting organic wastes to oil in 20 minutes. -Hadden Appell, US dept of interior Bureau of mines, Pittsburgh, March 1, 1972 Why is there no tree older than the bristlecone pine? Or a reef larger than the great barrier reef? it got bombed in WW2, and most of what was destroyed has grown back in only 60 years. Red giant stars evolve into white dwarf stars over billions of years. -Prentice Hall Earth Science, 1995 Egyptian hieroglyphs from 2,000 bc described Sirius as a red star. Cicero in 50 bc stated Sirius was red. Seneca described Sirius as one of the 6 red stars in 150 ad. Today it is a white binary star. see also 'It's a Young World', by Paul Ackerman Niagra Falls museum guide says and shows 4.7ft per year of erosion since first observed in 1764 until most of the water was diverted to hydroelectric power in the 1930s. It should have eroded back to lake Erie if the Earth is billions of years old. The Teepee Fountain is a flowstone formation in Thermopolis, Wy, it's just 100 years old but it's over 20ft high and 60ft around. -featured in Liberty Magazine, May/June 1993 p.24 Evolution assumes that man dropped out of the trees 1 to 5 million years ago and became fully human approximately 100,000 years ago. Yet archeological records show civilization arising only about 5,000 years ago (based on evolutionary thinking). In other words, by evolutionary reasoning, it took mankind 95,000 years after becoming fully human to figure out that food could be grown by dropping a seed into the ground. It has been estimated by evolutionary anthropologists that the earth could have easily supported 10 million hunter/gatherer type humans. To maintain an average of 10 million people, spread over the entire planet, with an average life span of 25 years, for the last 100,000 years . . . .would mean that 40 billion people had lived and died. Archeological evidence clearly shows that these "stone age" people buried their dead. Forty billion graves should be easy to find, yet only a few thousand exist. The obvious implication is that people have been around for far less time. Another indication of both a young earth and a confirmation of the worldwide flood is the scarcity of meteors in sedimentary rock layers. Although some meteors have

been found in sedimentary layers, they are relatively rare. Meteors are easily identifiable, and many thousands have been identified and recovered from recent impacts on the planet�s surface. If most of the rock layers were laid down rapidly during the one year period of a worldwide flood, you would not expect to find many meteorites buried in only one year. However, if the sediment was laid down over billions of years, there should be multiple billions of meteorites buried within this sediment. The fact that we find so few is another possible evidence for the rapid accumulation of the sedimentary layers and a young earth. Suppose you walked into an empty room and found a smoking cigar. You could assume that the cigar was very old and that it had only recently burst into flames, but the more logical conclusion would be that someone had recently been there to light it. The universe is full of similar "smoking cigars": All planetary rings still exhibit intricacies which Should Have long ago disappeared. All known comets burn up their material with each pass around the sun and should have a maximum life expectancy of 100,000 years. The outer solar system planets should have long ago cooled off. The spiral galaxies Should Have long ago unspiraled, and the uneven dispersion of matter in the universe should have long ago dispersed. Scientists working from the preconception that the universe is 10-20 billion years old have suggested controversial and complicated possibilities for how these types of transient phenomena could still exist but their explanations are based more on faith, not science. The simpler explanation is that these "smoking cigars" are smoking because they are young. ________________________________________________________________________________ 6. IS THERE A BIAS AGAINST CREATIONISTS? Kevin Haley, (541-382-2278) a Biology teacher at Oregon community college lost his job for exposing errors in text books. -World magazine June 24, 2000 Baylor University, Waco, Tx fired William Dembski in April 2000, for advocating intelligent design. -Panama City News Herald 11-11-00 Forrest Mims, a science writer for 20 years, having been published in National Geographic, Science Digest, American Journal of Physics, and 60 other magazines/newspapers, was denied a job writing for Scientific American because he was a creationist. -NY Times, Oct 24, 1990 see also Minneapolis Tribune, Oct 29, 1990. Robert Gentry (halos.com) lost funding because he said he was a creationist. Roger Dehart, a Science teacher at Burlington-Edison highschool in Seattle, Wa was told he could not point out errors in text books. ________________________________________________________________________________ 7. WHAT DO THE POLLS SAY ABOUT WHAT AMERICA BELIEVES? Gallup Poll, US News 12/91 God created in less than 10,000 years--47% God used evolution over millions of years--40% Pure evolution, no God--9% Didn't know/didn't answer--4% Mobile Press Register 3/93 God created in less than 10,000 years--61% God used evolution over millions of years--30%

Pure evolution, no God--4% Didn't know/didn't answer--6% So why does the majority have to pay to teach what the minority believes? As far as the scientific community.... Only 55% of US natural scientists believe in Darwinian (atheistic) evolution. -Washington Times 8-31-98 CBS news poll on evolution or creation http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/10/22/opinion/polls/main965223.shtml Nov 2004 God created humans in present form--55% Humans evolved, God guided the process--27% Humans evolved, no God--13% Didn't know or didn't answer--5% Oct 2005 God created humans in present form--51% Humans evolved, God guided the process--30% Humans evolved, no God--15% Didn't know or didn't answer--4% And for the most recent Gallup Poll, from galluppoll.com... As of June 5, 2006 almost half of Americans believe God created man in the last 10,000 years and has gone through NO evolution. http://www.galluppoll.com/content/?ci=23200&pg=1 ________________________________________________________________________________ 8. ARE THE BIBLE AND EVOLUTION COMPATIBLE? Bible says: Earth before the Sun--Evolution says: Sun before the Earth. Bible: oceans before land--Evolution: land before oceans. Bible: light before the Sun--Evolution: Sun=light. Bible: trees before fish--Evolution: fish before trees. Bible: marine mammals before land mammals--Evolution: land mammals before marine mammals. Bible: birds before reptiles--Evolution: reptiles before birds. Bible: plants before the Sun--Evolution: Sun before plants. Bible: 6 days--Evolution: billions and billions of years (not even thousands as with the day-age theory). Bible: man brought death into the world--Evolution: by millions of years of death, man was finally brought into the world. "The law of Christ is incompatible with the law of evolution... Nay, the two laws are at war with eachother." -evolutionist Sir Arthur Keith, Evolution & Ethics (book) ________________________________________________________________________________ 9. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PETRIFY? Petrified dog in a hollow tree--Southern Forest World Museum in Waycross, Ga. Petrified cowboy leg in cowboy boot found in dry creek bed in Iraan, Tx by Jerry Stone in 1980 who was an employee of Corvette oil company. CT scans were performed by Evelyn Americus at Harris Methodist Hospital on July 24, 1997 in Bedford, Tx.

Petrified pickle from the 1930's in Kent Hovind's creation science museum. Petrifed bowlers hat found in New Zealand. -Creation Magazine February 2001 p. 11 Dan Gunter, (now a pastor) while drilling for Chevron, drilled through a 60ft tree at 14,000ft below the surface in block 457 of the Mississippi River canyon field. [email protected] Tyranosaurus soft tissue found in Prudhoe, Alaska, Omni magazine, January 1990 p. 32 ________________________________________________________________________________ 10. WHAT ABOUT THE OORT CLOUD? Comets constantly lose their material as they hurl through space, because of this, astronmers believe comets have ages less then 10,000yrs, so if the universe is 13 billion years old, and our own planet is 4 billion years old, we should not still be seeing comets. Jan Hendrick Oort, a Dutch astronomer, proposed in 1950 the idea that there was a cloud of comets far outside the solar system that was constantly throwing in new comets. Unfortunately, this is nonsense. "Oort proposed a cloud of comets surrounding the solar system based on mathematical errors." -Raymond Littleton, The non-existence of the Oort cemetery shell, Astrophysics and Space Science vol.31 Dec, 1974 p. 385-401 It only exists in theory, Oort never saw the Oort cloud. ________________________________________________________________________________ 11. THE PRE-FLOOD WORLD? At the meeting of the Geological Society of America in the first week of November 1987, they revealed after analyzing air bubbles trapped in amber, that the Earth's atmosphere contained 50% more oxygen than it does now. -Time Magazine, Nov 9, 1987 p. 82 Some research says 35% -New Scientist, March 11, 2000 Dr. Carl Baugh's museum has raised living pirhanas 4 times larger than normal in pressurized aquarium tanks trying to simulate the pre-flood world, other pressurized tanks of his have turned venomous snakes non-venomous. ________________________________________________________________________________ 12. GIANT ANCIENT MEN Roman emperor Maximus was 8'6" -Chronicle of the Roman Emperors, 1995, p. 160 A skeleton 9'8" tall was found in a stone burial mound in Brewersville, Indiana in 1879. -Indianapolis News, November 10, 1975. see also Readers Digest's Mysteries of the Unexplained. A skeletion 10ft tall was found in Humbolt Lake, Nv in June, 1931. -Lovelock Review-Miner, June 19, 1931 A skeleton 12ft tall was found by soldiers in Lompoc Rancho, Ca in 1883. The remains were reburried due to objections from the local Indians for disturbing the grave. -The Unexplained, Dr.Karl Shuker p. 151 Glen Campbell (715-962-3299) took the picture of the giant Inca skull for Ancient American magazine vol. 34 p. 37 Scientific American Aug 14, 1880 describes 2 giant human skeletons that were found. Scientific American again in 1883 describes massive graves of giant skeletons in

North Dakota. ________________________________________________________________________________ 13. WHAT ABOUT CAVE MEN? "There are not enough fossil records to answer when, where, and how homo sapiens emerged." -Takahata, Molecular anthropology, Annual Review of Ecology & Systematics, 1995 p. 355 Nebraska Man--all they found was 1 tooth, built an entire man, and his wife, from 1 tooth.--hoax, it was a pigs tooth. Piltdown Man (1912)--was in textbooks for over 40 years, but was a deliberate fraud. Someone took a humans skull and an apes jawbone, filed them down and made them fit together. -Popular Science, April 1956 Peking Man--made from pieces of skulls found in Peking, China in the 1920's. All evidence was lost after WW2. Most people were never told that the remains of at least 10 humans were found near these "monkey" bones. Neanderthal Man--named for the Neander valley (Germany) that he was found in, named for Joachim Neander. The first one was found in 1856 and classed as 100% human. More than 300 Neanderthals have been found, all remarkably human. After examining Broken Hill Rhodesia man's (Neanderthal) skull. Dr. Jack Cuozzo said "You must understand, this skull really cries out disease. The teeth are badly decayed and the bones of the vault of the skull are extremely thick. There are many features that testify of acromegaly, the excess secretion of growth hormone in adulthood." 973-743-7074 jackcuozzo.com Cromagnon Man--perfectly normal, totally human. Skull is 13cm larger than average man....so? he had a big head. Australopithecus africanus, (the Taung skull)--found by Raymond Dart in 1924 and proclaimed as a missing link. In 1973 South African geologists announced that the cave the skull was found in was no more than 3/4ths of a million years old, so they then had to rule this out as a missing link because it was too young. -Bones of Contention, Marvin Lubenow p. 50 Australopithecus afarensus--found by Donald Johansen in Africa in 1973. He had gone there on grant money looking for missing links. 2 weeks before the money ran out, he found 'Lucy'. 40% of a skeleton, neither hand, a few ribs, part of 1 leg, and only a few skull fragments. The femur (leg bone) was slightly angled, this was supposed to be proof Lucy was an ape turning into a human, monkeys have angled femurs as well, Lucy was a large monkey or chimpanzee. The St. Louis zoo put human feet on their Lucy display, although no foot bones were found. All other australopithecines found with feet had chimpanzee foot bones (knuckle walkers). Professor David Menton of Washington State University has pointed this out, and zoo officials refuse to change it. "We look at the overall exhibit and the impression it creates." -David L. Carr, zoo's director of education, St. Louis Post Dispatch, July 22, 1996 p. 1 The various australopithecines are, indeed, more different from both African apes and humans in most features that these latter are from each other." -Dr. Charles Oxnard in Fossils, Teeth, and sex...New Perspectives on Human Evolution. University of Washington press, Seattle and London. 1987 p. 227 Java man, now called homo erectus--Found by Dutch anatomist Dr. Dubois in 1891,

who believed in evolution and had gone to Java, Indonesia specifically to look for missing links. He had convicts doing his work for him and bringing him random pieces of bones (a human skullcap, 3 teeth, and a thigh bone) and constructed a whole skeleton out of it. He hid the 2 normal human skulls that were found in the same area. It was revealed 30 years later. -Bones of Contention, Marvin Lubenow p. 86 Russel H. Tuttle, University of Chicago, did the most extensive study of the Laetoli footprints, as well as studying more than 70 habitually barefoot people and found "the 3.5 million year old footprints at Laetoli site G resemble those of habitually unshod modern humans. None of their features suggest that the Laetoli hominids were less capable bipeds than we are. "If the footprints were not known to be so old, we would readily conclude that they were made by a member of our own genus, homo." -"The Pitted Pattern of Laetoli Feet", Natural History, March 1990 p. 64 quoted in Bones of Contention p. 174 ________________________________________________________________________________ 14. GIANT FOSSILS? Oysters 11.5 ft wide found closed in the mountains of Peru 3.5 miles above sea level. -Express Times, 3-2-01 p. A-2, and Daily American Republic, 3-2-01, Poplar Bluff, Missouri. Fossil centipede 8ft long fossil cockroach 18in long fossil grasshopper 2ft long fossil dragonfly with a 50in wingspan fossil beaver skull of a beaver 6ft long in Ohio fossil salamander skull of a salamander 6ft long fossil shark tooth of an 80ft shark the indricotherium (18ft high) is an ancient hornless rhinocerous, the largest land mammal ever found. horns of an American buffalo 8ft wide Many of these are at Joe Taylor's museum, mtblanco.com Fossil ostrich type bird named dinornis maximus, was 13 ft tall. -strange stories, amazing facts p. 246 Readers Digest Fossil human hands found in cretacious rock with ichthyosaurus, by Dr. Jamie Gutierrez in South America. Pictures and more at creationevidence.org In one rock strata, researchers found several types of dinosaurs and were surprised to find frog, fish, turtle, small mammal and plant fossils as well. -New Scientist, February 24, 2001 p. 13 ________________________________________________________________________________ 15. ARE THOSE ROCKS MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD? Carl Baugh has a hammer in his museum that was found in rock dated at 400 million years old. Batelle Lab examined it and said it's 96.6% iron, 2.6% chlorine, and .74% sulfur. Tubal-cain in the Bible was an artificer of brass and iron, that was before the flood. Baugh has many other artifacts. A 4 1/2in high zinc and silver vessel was found in solid rock dated over 600 million years old in Dorchester, Ma in 1851. -Readers Digest Mysteries of the Unexplained p. 46 see also Scientific American, June 1851 see also The Hidden History of the Human Race, Michael Cremo. (Cremo believes in aliens, and an old earth, so reject his interpretations) A clay doll was found by a well driller at a depth of 320ft near Nampa, Id in

1889. The rock layer was supposedly 12 million years old. -Idaho State Historical Society in Boise (208-334-2120) Workers found human bones and a well tempered copper arrowhead in a vein of silver at the Rocky Point Mine in Gilman, Co in 1865. -Ammunition by Norm Scharbough Communique 1991 p. 177 In 1880 J.D. Whitney the state geologist of California published a lengthy review of advanced stone tools found in California gold mines deep in mine shafts underneath thick, undisturbed layers of lava, ranging from 9 to 55 million years old. -The Hidden History of the Human Race, Michael Cremo p. 97 W.H. Holmes of the Smithsonian Institute wrote "Perhaps if Professor Whitney had fully appreciated the story of human evolution as it is understood he would have hesitated to announce the conclusions, notwithstanding the imposing array of testimony with which he was confronted." In the 1950's Thomas E. Lee of the National Museum of Canada found advanced stone tools in glacial deposits at Sheguiandah on Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron. The deposits were 65,000 to 125,000 years old. The director of the museum was fired for refusing to fire the discoverer. -The Hidden History of the Human Race, Michael Cremo. see also In the Beginning, Walt Brown p. 22 New Scientist vol. 139 September 11, 1993 has salamanders found buried in ice from the pleistine age 12,000yrs ago, who thawed out and ran off. While it's true that amphibians have a type of antifreeze in their blood for hibernation, it's a stretch to believe they could last 12,000 years. In 1930 Roland T. Bird, field explorer for the American Field Museum, reported 1520 inch long "clearly defined" human footprints with the dinosaur tracks. The Joe Taylor trail, the Paluxi River tracks, and other famous tracks showing human footprints, in sediment supposedly millions and millions of years old. "...dinosaur footprints, side by side with humans. Finding them would counter evidence that humans evolved long after the dinosaurs became extinct and back up the claim that all species, including man, were created at one time." -Nova tv special: God, Darwin and the Dinosaurs. ________________________________________________________________________________ 16. WORLD FLOOD STORIES Hawaii Long after the death of Kuniuohonna, the first man, the world became a wicked terrible place to live. There was one good man left: his name was Nu-u. He made a great canoe with a house on it and filled it with animals. The waters came up over the earth and killed all the people. Only Nu-u and his family were saved. China This story records that Fuhi, his wife, three sons and three daughters escaped a great flood. He and his family were the only people alive on earth. After the great flood they repopulated the world. Mexico The Toltec Indians of ancient Mexico said "The first world last 1,716 years and was destroyed by a great flood that covered the highest mountains." only on family names Coxcox survived. The Bible dates add up to 1,656 years after creation, the Toltec legend is only 60 years off after 4,000 years. There are dozens of other flood stories passed down in cultures around the world.

________________________________________________________________________________ 17. RECORDS OF ANCIENT MAN WITH DINOSAUR STORIES The word "dinosaur" was invented in 1841, before that they were called "dragons". One of the Chinese legends tells of a famous Chinese man named Yu. After the great flood, Yu surveyed the land of China and divided it into sections. He built channels to drain the water off to the sea and helped to make the land livable again. Many snakes and dragons were driven from the marshlands when Yu created the new farm lands. Marduk, the chief god of Babylon 600 bc rode a dragon. -Wycliffe Bible Encyclopedia p. 193 Isaiah 14:29 fiery flying serpent Job 41 has leviathan, described with great detail as a fire breathing dinosaur. The apocryphal book of Daniel (catholic bible) chapter 14 has a great dragon. Dinosaurs and lions were carved on the walls of ancient Babylon. They were found when the walls were excavated. -Rise of Babylon Charles Dyer p. 128 A slate palette from Heirakonopolis, showing the triumph of King Nar-mer (first pharoah of a united Egypt) and 2 long necked dragons. -Ancient near east in pictures by Pritchard p. 93 Alexander the Great reported in 326 bc that when he conquered parts of what is now India, his soldiers were scared by the dragons that lived in caves. 1. Roman mosaic showing 2 long necked dinosaurs interlocked, in 2nd century AD. 2. In 900 AD an Irish writer told of an animal with iron nails on its tail and a head similar to a horse. It also had thick legs and strong claws (stegasaurus?). 3. The city of Nerluc, France was renamed in honor of the "dragon" slain there, it was described as being bigger than an ox and having long sharp pointed horns on its head (triceratops?). -The Great Dinosaur Mystery, Paul Taylor St. George slayed a dragon in 275 AD. St George was martyred for his faith April 23, 303 AD. He is the patron saint of England and Portugal. -Dinosaurs by Design, Duane Gish p. 81 Beowulf slew a few dragons and was killed while fighting a winged dragon in 583 AD at age 88. Beowulf killed Grendel by pulling one of it's arms off and letting it bleed to death. His dragon slaying stories may or may not be true, as much of Beowulf's life has been found to be accurate. Marco Polo lived in China for 17 years around 1271 AD and reported that the emperor raised dragons to pull his chariots in parades. In 1611 the emperor of China appointed the post of "Royal Dragon Feeder". Books even tell of Chinese families raising dragons to use their blood for medicines and highly prizing their eggs. -DeVisser, Marinus Willem.

Natural Bridge State Park, Blanding, Ut, Petroglyphs by the Anasazi 400-1300 AD shows dinosaurs.

In 1571 the Spanish conquistadors mentioned there were stones with strange creatures carved on them in Ica, Peru. They are known of today as the Ica stones, or Nasca burial stones, 500bc-500AD Nothing in the bible says that the unicorn was a horse, nothing, anywhere. The unicorn may have been a single horned dinosaur such as the monocloneus or styracosaurus. The description certainly fits a reptile (cannot be tamed, and is not good for labor). ________________________________________________________________________________ 18. REPORTS OF MODERN MAN SEEING DINOSAURS Arthur Henry Roston, chief officer of the Campania on April 26, 1907 sighted and sketched a sea serpent as it moved its head from side to side, he recorded it in his log book. -Titanic, Triumph and Tragedy 2nd ed. p. 176 Article titled "Is a Brontosaurus Roaming Africa's Wild?" in the New York Herald February 13, 1910. Missionaries reported seeing dinosaurs. A South African game hunter, F. Gobler came back from hunting in Angola and announced to the Capetown newspaper, the Cape Argus, that there was an animal of large description dwelling in the Dilolo swamp that the natives called "chipekwe" and had the head and tail of a lizard. -"There could be dinosaurs" Saturday Evening Post January 3, 1948 p. 52. In 1907 Lt Colonel Percy Fawcett a Royal Engineer of the British Army was sent to mark the boundaries between Brazil and Peru. In the Beni Swamps of Madre de Dios he reported an animal that he believed was a Diplodocus, and his son sketched the footprints of the tracks they found. -The Rivers Ran East, by Leonard Clark, Funk and Wagnals Co, 1953 The Brazillian minister at La Paz, Bolivia had remitted to the minister of foreign affairs in Rio photographs of drawings of an extraordinary saurian (pteradactyl) killed on the Beni after receiving 36 balls. By order of the President of Bolivia, the dried body, which had been preserved in Asuncion, was sent to La Paz. It was 12 meters long, had short claw like feet, scales, a thin neck, and large belly. -Scientific American vol. 49 issue 3, 1883 has the full story. A 25ft long creature washed up on the beach in Querqeville, Normandy, France, in March of 1934. Two professors from Paris Natural History Museum analyzed the creature and said it was "definitely not a whale and not a sea cow. It is posible we are in the presence of an unknown species.". -Time Magazine March 12, 1934 p. 32 In 1905 observers on the yacht Valhalla, cruising off the coast of Brazil spotted a dorsal fin about 6ft long and 2ft high. Then a small head on a neck about 7 or 8ft long rose in front of the fin and a "good sized body" could be seen under the water. The observers were 2 experienced British naturalists, Michale J. Nicoll and E.G.B. Meade-Waldo, fellows of the Zoological Society. -Rumors of Existence,

Matthew A. Bille 1995 p. 127 During the 1930s and 40s such sea creatures were spotted many times by fishermen of Monterey's sardine fleet, with one account stating that it was witnessed by one boat's entire crew of 12 men. One such report described the creature as surfacing near a fishing boat with "large baleful eyes from a rounded head that topped a long slender neck that stuck out of the water 8ft or more." -Skin Diver Magazine, November 1989 In Lake Champlain 58 passengers aboard the Ethan 30-35 ft long with 3 to 5 humps cruised with the side for 5 minutes. "Don't tell me it was a carp weighed 3,000 to 5,000lbs." said skipper MIchael 1998 p. 88

Also the large creature pulled out of the ocean by a fishing boat off the shore of Japan in the 70s looks like a plesiosaurus, though some say it was a basking shark, and DNA tests say it was very similar to shark protein....nobody knows what plesiosaurus protein is supposed to look like to compare it to. Charles Moore's monster that washed up on the coast of Santa Cruz, California in 1925 also had some similarities. ________________________________________________________________________________ 19. ICA STONES Copied and pasted from www.weirdvideos.com/ancient2.html for pictures In 1966, Dr. Javier Cabrera, a local physician and professor of biology, was given a small carved stone for his birthday. The native who gave it to him was of course poor and couldn't afford much else. But this birthday present turned into the most valued present ever given as a birthday present. Unlike the "Pet Rock" of modern money-mongers, the little carved stone brought a great wealth of prehistoric knowledge with it, for this stone lead to thousands of others! On it was inscribed a fish!? Dr. Cabrera was amused, but knowing more about biology than the townsmen in the area, he noticed that the fish was of a species long extinct! This fish had died off some millions of years ago! This lead Dr. Cabrera to open up a vast storehouse of new knowledge into our prehistoric past! More of the stones appeared containing many more carved images that were seemed impossible. These stones had images of telescopes, magnifying glasses, complex surgical opperations, and most interesting of all, dinosaurs and men attacking them!

Since men supposedly did not appear until 2 million years ago and the dinosaurs are estimated to have died out 50 million years ago, how comes these stones depicting them as contemporary? This more than amazed Dr. Cabrera, it astounded him! After some time, Dr. Cabrera managed to collect thousands of these carved stones. His research has brought to light the possibility that man had a super technology thousands of years ago! Dr. Cabrera says that, if there were only a few stones, it would be easy to write them off as a hoax or a manufacture of local townsmen for the tourist trade. But the Doctor has over 15,000 stones in his collection, attesting to the fact that they are authentic prehistoric records. The other fact is, they are impossible to manufacture in this quantity by the townsmen, for the stones are composed of one of the hardest of minerals--andesite! One would spend days carving andesite with even tool steal! Dr. Cabrera says that with all that has been found, collected and sold to tourists, there must be at least 50,000 known carved stones. After some negotiations with the townsmen, he found most of the collection hidden in a tunnel near the coastal mountains and there are at least 100,000 more that he has not removed yet. What is interesting about this area is that it is one of the oldest areas in the world, where fossils from the Cretaceous period are easily found right on the surface! In the collection of his museum, Dr. Cabrera has identified what appears to be carved images of heart transplants, caesarian section opperations, a woman with three acupuncture needles protruding from her mouth. He has also identified Dinosaurs species such as the Apatosaurus, Stegasaurus, Tyranasaurus Rex and the Flying Pteradactyle Most interesting carvings men are defind as one of ganglion), which

is the depiction of men killing some of these dinosaurs. In a few shown using a hand axe and chopping at what scientists have only TWO nerve centers of the dinosaur (the brain and the pelvic would lead to the disnosaurs quick and sudden death!

Well, either these dinosaurs were contemporaries with these prehistoric Men, and these prehistoric men knew very well how to kill dinosaurs or, the local townsmen who are said to have carved these stones, took a class in dinosaur biology that does not exist in any Peruvian colleges. So, where did this knowledge of the dinosaur's TWO vital spots come from? From where did the stone carvers get this knowledge? How the Dickens did they carve so many andesite stones with nothing more than Stone Age tools, beings that this is all they supposedly had? TO ORDER A COLLECTOR'S COPY OF DR.

20. WHAT ABOUT THE GEOLOGIC COLUMN? James Hutton was one of the first people who proposed Uniformitarianism, just as Peter in the Bible prophesied people would do one day. Charles Lyell, a lawyer from Scotland in 1830 wrote a book called Princples of Geology and created the geologic column. For each age he gave a name and an index fossil. This was long before ANY radiometric dating methods. "If there was a column of sediments deposited continuously since the formation of the earth, the entire history of the planet could be reconstructed. Unfortunately, no such column exists. Where sediments are missing, a break in the sedimentary record occurs. Breaks result in gaps in the record that may range from a few years to hundreds of millions of years. Breaks in the sedimentary record are called unconformities." -HBJ Earth Science 1987 p. 326 "The intelligent layman has long suspected circular reasoning in the use of rocks to date the fossils and fossils to date the rocks. The geologist has never bothered to think of a good reply, feeling the explanations are not worth the trouble as long as the work brings results...The rocks do date the fossils, but the fossils date the rocks more accurately." -J.E. O'Rourke, American Journal of Science, vol. 276 January 1976 p. 51-53 see also In the Beginning, by Walt Brown p. 64. "Apart from very 'modern' examples, which are really archaeology, I can think of no cases of radioactive decay being used to date fossils." -Derek V. Ager "Fossil Frustrations" New Scientist vol. 100 November 10, 1983 p. 425 "Radiometric dating would not have been feasible if the geologic column had not been erected first." -J.E. O'Rourke, Pragmatism versus Materialism in Stratigraphy, American Journal of Science, vol. 276 January 1976 p. 54 "80-85% of Earth's land surface does not have even 3 geologic periods appearing in correct consecutive order. It becomes an overall exercise of gargantuan special pleading and imagination for the evolutionary-uniformitarian paradigm to maintain that there ever were geologic periods." -Dr. John Woodmorappe in "The Essential Non-Existence of the Evolutionary Uniformitarian Geologic Column" -CRSQ vol. 18 No. 1 June, 1981 p. 46-71 Limestone appears in many layers, so how do you tell the difference between 100 million year old Jurassic limestone, and 600 million year old Cambrian limestone? By the index fossils. There is no place on earth that the geologic column appears in its entirety from top to bottom, what has been found in 26 places on earth are the index fossils in the correct order. They ignore the 26,000 other places where holes have been dug that do not have the index fossils in that order. ________________________________________________________________________________ 21. WHAT ABOUT TRILOBITES? "Trilobite fossils make good index fossils. If a trilobite fossil such as this one is found in a rock layer, the rock layer was probably formed 500-600 million years ago." -Holt Modern Earth Science 1989 p. 290 Trilobites are supposedly one of the oldest and simplest living creatures ever found on earth, they are found at the bottom of the geologic column, and yet regarding their eyes..... Trilobite eyes have "the most sphisticated eye lenses ever produced by nature."

-Lisa Sawyer Science News February 1974 p. 72 The eyes of early trilobites have never been exceeded for complexity or acuity. -Stephen Jay Gould, Natural History February 4, 1984 p. 23 And regarding their age.... Human shoeprint with trilobyte inside, found by William Meister of Kearns, Utah June 1, 1968. Dr. H.H. Doeling of Utah's Geological Survey verified it was not a fake. -Readers Digest Mysteries of the Unexplained p. 38 ________________________________________________________________________________ 22. WHAT ABOUT OTHER INDEX FOSSILS? Graptolites were index fossils for 410 million year old rocks. Unfortunately, graptolites were found still living in the South Pacific. -Earth Magazine september 1993 Lobe-finned fish are index fossils for 325-410 million year old rock. The lobe-fin coelacanth was found still very much alive in 1938. So what did they do? Called it a living fossil that survived unchanged for 325 million years. Dinosaurs from the Cretaceous and Jurassic lived over 65 million years ago. But a medical pathologist examined tyranosaurus bone under a microscope and found dinosaur blood still inside the bone. -Earth, June 1997 p. 55-57 ________________________________________________________________________________ 23. WHAT ABOUT MUTATIONS? Natural selection causes evolution. -Holt Biology, 1994 p. 186 "Over a long period of time, natural selection can lead to evolution." -Prentice Hall, Focus on Life Science, 2001 p. 141 On the contrary..... "No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution." Pierre-Paul Grasse, Evolution of Living Organisms, 1977 p. 88 "Natural selection may have a stabilizing effect, but it does not promote speciation, it is not a creative force as many have suggested." -Daniel Brooks, The Downward Slope to Greater Diversity, Science vol. 217 September 24, 1982 p. 1248 "Natural selection can act only on those biologic properties that already exist; it cannot create properties in order to meet adaptational needs." -Parasitology 6th ed. Lee & Febiger, p. 516 Mutations are a scrambling of already existent information, they do not produce new information, it does not increase genetic complexity. Even Richard Dawkins could not provide an example of 1 mutation that has increased the genetic complexity of an organism. There have been no observed genetic mutations that have been beneficial to a lifeform, all have been harmful, and all have been a scrambling of information...in other words, a cow with 5 legs, a sheep with stubby legs, a fruit fly with curled wings, no wings, or 4 wings. You will never get a horse to grow wings like a pegasus, or a penguin to grow gills like a fish. Even IF you can get scientists and genetic engineers to do something like that, that would be proof it takes intelligence, not random chance. The only evolutionists example of a beneficial mutation would be that people in

Africa with sickle-cell anemia can't get malaria. That's like saying people who are born without arms can't get handcuffed--not exactly beneficial, in the common population that person is at a disadvantage. "The peppered moths are proof that natural selection causes evolution." -Prentice Hall, Focus on Life Science, 2001 p. 144 The peppered moth story was a hoax, the light colored moths and dark colored moths used the color of the trees as their camouflage. When factories started producing soot and pollution, the trees became darker, so the dark colored moths were surviving more and the light ones were being eaten. The original theory was that the dark moths were evolving into light ones, then when the trees started getting polluted, the light ones were evolving into dark ones. In the end, they still had the same 2 types of moths that they started with. Today, the same 2 types of types of moths still exist. There was no evolution, natural selection selects, it does not create. The peppered moth story is still used in the Tulsa Zoo as of May, 2002. ________________________________________________________________________________ 24. WHAT ABOUT COMPARATIVE ANATOMY? "It is a truly wonderful fact...that all animals and all plants throughout all time and space should be related to eachother." -Charles Darwin, Origin of Species 1859 p. 170 "Comparative anatomy provides further evidence for evolution. The commonality suggests that these and other vertebrate animals are related, they probably evolved from a common ancestor." -Glenco Biology, 1994 p. 309 All Creationists will agree that rotweillers, poodles, collies, german shepherds, great danes, and chihuahuas all had a common ancestor....it was a canine, it was not a pinecone. Persian, tabby, siamese, and manx cats all had a common ancestor as well...it was a feline, not a jellyfish. Dogs produce dogs, cats produce cats, it's the same all over the world for all of recorded history. If you go any further than that, then you've left the realm of science and stepped into fantasy. The lugnuts on a Pontiac will also fit on a Chevy, this proves they both evolved from a skateboard? No, it proves theres a common designer, General Motors. The bones develop from different genes in different organisms. Evolutionists cannot explain this and rarely discuss it. Many evolutionists use the similarities between organisms to claim one came from the other, however... If you are going by cytochrome-C, our closest relative is the sunflower IF you are going by the structure of the eyes, our closest relative is the octopus If you are going by organ compatibility, our closest relative is the pig (thats why heart transplants are from pig hearts) If you are going by tear enzymes, our closest relative is the chicken ________________________________________________________________________________ 25. WHAT ABOUT EMBRYO DEVELOPMENT? The human embryo while inside it's mother has gill slits like a fish. -illustrated by Meriill Earth Science, 1993 p. 451 "The early stages, or embryos, of many animals with backbones are so similar that they can be hard to tell apart." -Prentice Hall Biology 2002 p. 385

Earnst Haeckel taught embryology at the University of Jena in Germany, he read Darwins book and spent 9 years looking for evidence, finally in 1869 he fabricated drawings of dog embryos and human embryos and made them look alike, then he made charts of fish, mammal, and human embryos that all looked similar. After some investigation, Haeckels own university held a trial for him when it was discovered he was wrong in 1875. Although there is some dispute on whether or not the trial actually happened, modern technology has shown that Haeckels drawings were fake. Once sonograms were developed, Haeckels drawings were proven completely wrong beyond all doubt, but his theory of gill slits on the human throat along with his fake pictures are still used in public school textbooks today. The 'gill slits' develop into bones in the ears, glands in the throat, and have nothing to do with breathing. Although Haeckel confessed to drawing from memory and was convicted of fraud at the University of Jena, the drawings persist "That's the real mystery" says Richardson, of St. George's Hospital Medical School in London. New Scientist September 6, 1997 p. 23 "To cut to the quick of this drama, Haeckel had exaggerated the similarities by idealizations and omissions. He also, in some cases � in a procedure that can only be called fraudulent � simply copied the same figure over and over again." -Stephen Jay Gould, New York Times August 13, 1999 "Moreover, the biogenetic law has become so deeply rooted in biological thought that it cannot be weeded out in spite of its having demonstrated to being wrong by numerous subsequent scholars. -Walter J. Bock, (Department of Biological Sciences, Columbia University) "Evolution by Orderly Lay", Science vol. 164 May 9, 1969 p. 684-685 Haeckel's fake drawings still used in 1999 at University of West Florida, Evolutionary Analysis 1998 p. 28 Holt Biology Visualizing Life, 1994 p. 183 Glenco Biology, 1994 Biology Concepts and Applications, 2000 Holt Biology, 2001 has gill slit illustration Biology, A journey into life, Arms and Camp, 1991 ________________________________________________________________________________ 26. WHAT ABOUT GENETICS? "Even with DNA sequence data, we have no direct access to the process of evolution, so objective reconstruction of the vanished past can be achieved only by creative imagination." -N. Takahata, A Genetic Perspective on the Origin and History of Humans, Annual Review of Ecology and Systems, 1995 If chromosomes are to be any indication of evolution: Penicillin has 2 chromosomes fruit fly has 8 tomato and house fly have 12 pea has 14 honey bee 16 lettuce 18 carrot 20 possum, redwood tree, and kidney bean all have 22 cat 38 soybean 40 wheat 42

bat 44 human 46 tobacco plant and chimpanzee have 48 amoeba 50 chicken and dog have 78 turkey 82 sweet potatoe 90 goldfish 92 carp 100 white ash 138 fern 480 "The genetic differences between humans and his nearest is at least 1.6%. That doesn't sound like much but when gap of at least 48,000,000 nucleotides, and a change of fatal to an animal; there is no possibility of change." leading genetic genome researcher

relative the chimpanzee, calculated out, that is a only 3 nucleotides is -Dr. Barney Maddox,

According to New Scientist from September 23, 2002, we have now learned that there is more than a 5% difference. Then in Nature magazine, May 27, 2004 we have learned that the difference between humans and chimps is now at 7%. As we learn more and more about genetics, we are finding out we are less and less alike. All lifeforms are built from the same 20 amino acids, this is not proof that all lifeforms have a common ancestor, it's proof that all lifeforms have a common designer. There are whole libraries full of books written with the same 26 letters of the alphabet, that doesn't prove that 'War and Peace' evolved from 'Oliver Twist'. 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Lord of the Flies' have similar names and were published around the same time, but they are not in the least bit related. It also doesn't prove that random letters jumped onto pages and arranged themselves into coherent sentences, it took a writer, it took intelligence. "Researchers suggest that virtually all modern men � 99% of them, says one scientist � are closely related genetically and share genes with one male ancestor, subbed �Y-chromosome Adam�. We are finding that humans have very, very shallow genetic roots which go back very recently to one ancestor�That indicates that there was an origin in a specific location on the globe, and then it spread out from there." -US News and World Report, December 4, 1995 ________________________________________________________________________________ 27. WHAT ABOUT MISSING LINKS? In the years after Darwin, his advocates hoped to find predictable progressions. In general, these have not been found--yet the optimism has died hard, and some pure fantasy has crept into textbooks. -David Raup, Evolution and the Fossil Record, Science vol. 213 July 17, 1981 p. 289 Luther Sunderland asked evolutionists what evidence they had for their theory. When Colin Paterson, senior paleontologist of the British Museum of Natural History was asked why he did not show the missing links in a book he wrote, he said: "I fully agree with your comments on the lack of evolutionary transitions in my book. If I knew of any, fossil or living, I would have certainly included them. I will lay it on the line--there is not one such fossil." -Darwin's Enigma, Luther Sunderland 1988 p. 89 "All those trees of life with their branches of ancestors, that's alot of nonsense." -Mary Leakey, Associated Press, December 10, 1996 (she had just died at 83 the day before, Dec 10th was the day it was printed, not the date it was said)

"The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips of the nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils." -Stephen Jay Gould "Evolution�s Erratic Pace�, Natural History Vol. 5, May 1977 �The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages has been a persistent and nagging problem for evolution.� -Stephen Jay Gould, Evolution Now, p. 140 "Other examples, including the much-repeated 'gradual' evolution of the modern horse, have not held up under close examination." -Biology The Unity and Diversity of Life, Wadsworth 1992 p. 304 The horse evolution is still on display made by O.C. Marsh, Peabody Museum at Yale, New Haven, Connecticut. "To suppose that the eye...could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree." -Charles Darwin, Origin of Species p. 217 "The human eye may be the product of millions of years of evolution." -Merrill Biology, 1983 p. 202 ________________________________________________________________________________ 28. WHAT ABOUT DINOSAURS TURNING INTO BIRDS? "Birds are the descendants of dinosaurs." -Holt Biology 1994 p. 214 "Paleontologists have tried to turn Archaeopteryx into an earth bound feathered dinosaur. But it's not, it is a bird, a perching bird, and no amount of 'paleobabble' is going to change that." -Alan Feduccia, (a world authority on birds from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) quoted in Archaeopteryx: Early Bird Catches a Can of Worms, Science, February 5, 1994 p. 764-765 Feathers and scales are both made of keratin, but that's where the similarities end. An airplane and a bicycle are both made of aluminum, that doesn't mean they evolved from a Pepsi can. Birds and reptiles have different: lungs (birds have sack-type lungs) hearts bone structure (bird bones are hollow and light) voices (geckos don't sing, turtles don't chirp) feet (birds have an opposable toe for grasping) tails hip joints (where the muscles of the hip joints attach on a lizard is opposite to that of a bird) Archaeopteryx cannot be a missing link also because fully formed birds were around at the time of dinosaurs by evolutionary standards. 130 million year old crow sized bird, dubbed 'Confusiusornis'at New Mexico Museum of Natural History in Albaquerque. -New Times Herald June 17, 1999 p. A-14 In western Colorado's Dry Mesa Quarry, Brigham Young University archaeologists have come upon the 140 million year old remains of what they are calling 'the oldest bird ever found'..."It is obvious that we must now look for ancestors of flying birds in a period of time much older than that in which the Archaeopteryx lived." says Yale University's John H. Ostrom who positively identified the specimen.

Fossil remains of a bird which lived between 142 and 137 million years ago were recently found in the Liaiming province of northeastern China. The discovery, announced by Chinese/American teams of scientists, including Alan Feduccia (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) and Larry D. Martin (University of Kansas) provide the oldest evidence of a beaked bird yet found. The discoverers claim it probably lived at the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary--prior to Deinonychus, and could not possibly have descended from them. "But there are plenty of other reasons to refute the dinosaur-bird connection, says Feduccia. "How do you derive birds from a heavy, earthbound, bipedal reptile that has a deep body, a heavy balancing tail, and fore-shortened forelimbs? Biophysically, it's impossible." -Jurassic Bird Challenges Origin Theories Feduccia describes how the theory that birds evolved from dinosaurs, first proposed by John Ostrum in the 70s and fiercely defended ever since, lacks any scientific proof and the proof it did have has been proven incorrect, in Scientific American, March 2003. According to Dr. Feduccia, theropods found all over the world do not have the dino-fuzz that appears to be fossilized feathers. It's only the theropods found in China. Filaments of the fibers of the skin fray and fossilize to look like feathers. "Having studied many of the specimens said to sport protofeathers, I, and many others do not find any credible evidence that those structures represent protofeathers. Many Chinese fossils have a strange halo that has become known as dino-fuzz, and that has been equated with avian feathers, however the arguments are far less than convincing.". The dino-fuzz has been found in fossils that have nothing to do with birds, one of which is ichthyosaurus (an ocean dinosaur). Similar fuzz-like structures have been found in the past, and proven to be inorganic matter. Such as the fern-like markings on the SolnHofen fossils known as dendrites. Despite their plantlike outlines, these features are now known to be inorganic structures caused by a solution of manganese from within the beds that reprecipitated as oxides along cracks or along bones of real fossils. All of the 'feathered dinosaurs' have been found in China, and the nature of the fossil beds in China can preserve dino-fuzz but yet cannot preserve real feathers of real birds. Feduccia concludes that "feathered dinosaurs" are extinct reptiles with certain types of skin, whereas other fossils are of real birds. There are 2 different taphonomic phenomena in the early Cretaceous lacustrine deposits of the Xixian and Jiufotang formations of China, one preserving dino-fuzz filaments, and the other preserving real feathers. ________________________________________________________________________________ 29. WHAT ABOUT THE EVOLUTION OF THE WHALE? "The evolutionary origin of whales remains controversial among zoologists." -Comptons Interactive Encyclopedia, 1996 Basilosaurus is not an intermediate "The serpentine form of the of body and the peculiar serrated cheek teeth made it plain that the archeocetes could not possiblly have been ancestral to any of the modern whales" -B.J. Stahl, Vertebrate History, Dover publishers, 1985 p. 489 Ambulocetus Only the skull, front limbs, and partial skeleton were found. The hind legs and entire hind quaters of the ambulocetus were not found, yet they are drawn on all illustrations.

Pakicetus Only fragments of the skull, jaw, and a few teeth were found of the pakicetus in 1983. It resembled a wolflike animal, but what they concluded was that it was a descendant of modern whales based on nothing more than the bones of the inner ear. ________________________________________________________________________________ 30. HAS LIFE BEEN CREATED IN A LAB? In the 1950s Stanley Miller and Harold Urey wanted to know how life on earth came to be, so they mixed up gases and called it "earths primitive atmosphere" and they were able to make amino acids. Miller took gases and circulated them through a tube with a spark, the spark was to simulate lightning strikes in the primitive atmosphere. Methane, amonia, water vapor and hydrogen were the gases used, and at the bottom of the flask he got a mixture of amino acids. He didn't include oxygen because it would oxidize the experiment. He called it a reducing atmosphere and then tried to claim the early earth had no atmosphere. One of the problems of having an atmosphere with no oxygen is that ozone (o3) is created by oxygen, and if there is no ozone, then the suns UV light hitting the atmosphere would destroy the amonia in Miller's experimental atmosphere. -Origins of Life, vol. 12 1982 illustration used in Glenco Biology 1994 p. 325 Earth has always had oxygen, see evolution a theory in crisis by Dr. Michael Denton p. 262 and Icons of Evolution by Jonathan Wells p. 9-27 What Miller actually made was 85% tar, 13% carboxylic acid, (both toxic to life) and only 2% amino acids. If you made a mixture that is 98% destructive to your other 2%, that would be considered a failure, not a success. He also only made 2 kinds of amino acids where it generally takes 20 to create life. The amino acids he produced spun backwards (left handed) where the other half spun forwards (right handed). The smallest proteins have 70-100 different amino acids all lined up in the correct order and all are left handed. DNA and RNA all have to be right handed. Proteins will also unbond in water faster than they will bond due to the Brownian motion of large bodies of water, and as far as everyone can tell, the oceans are full of water...where life supposedly originated. Pour some sugar into a glass of water, and no matter how you shake it or move it, it will inevitably be dispersed and never brought back together, this is what Brownian motion does. ________________________________________________________________________________ 31. WHAT ABOUT POLYSTRATE FOSSILS? A polystrate fossil is an object found cutting through 2 or more layers of strata, sometimes dated thousands or millions of years old each. Usually it is a petrified tree. There are very few ways to explain this: The trees stood upright for millions of years while the sediment layers formed around them (not possible since the tree would have died, and the part above the ground would have rotted). The trees grew through hundreds of feet of solid sedimentary rock looking for sunlight (even more preposterous). The third possibility, that evolutionists would not suggest, is that a great flood buried the trees suddenly and they petrified. The layers of rock that are thought of as the geologic column actually settled on the bottom as the waters receded. The only excuse they do come up with is the evolutionists wave their magic wands and declare that layer in that spot must have formed very quickly (rapid

sedimentation). The Kettles coal mines near Cookville, Tn. has hundreds of petrified trees. The top and bottom of the trees are in different coal seams dated thousands of years different in age. The trees range in height from 30 to hundreds of feet. Joggins, Nova Scotia, Canada and St. Etienne, France also have polystrate trees. ________________________________________________________________________________ 32. WHAT ABOUT THE ACCURACY OF CARBON DATING? "Radioactive dating is fraught with peril, it's difficult to do, it's full of many assumptions, there've been huge mistakes made with it. I still believe when properly used, it is essentially a trustworthy technique." -Dr. Matthew Rainbow, Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Antelope Valley College (spoken in a debate with Dr. Kent Hovind in January 2006) In the Proceedings of the Symposium on Radiocarbon Variations and Absolute Chronology held at Uppsala sweden in 1969, T. S�ve-S�derbergh and Ingrid U. Olsson introduce their report with these words said regarding carbon dating. "If a C-14 date supports our theories, we put it in the main text. If it does not entirely contradict them, we put it in a footnote. And if it is completely out of date we just drop it". "It may come as a shock to some, but fewer than 50 percent of the radiocarbon dates from geological and archaeological samples in northeastern North America have been adopted as �acceptable� by investigators."�J. Ogden III, "The Use and Abuse of Radiocarbon," in Annals of the New York Academy of Science, Vol. 288, 1977, pg. 167-173.

Material from layers where dinosaurs are found carbon dated at 34,000 years old. -R. Daly, Earth�s Most Challenging Mysteries, 1972, p. 280 Russian scientists Kusnetsov and Ivanov carbon dated dinosaur bones at less than 30,000 years. -Strange Stories, Amazing Facts, Readers Digest, 1978, p. 335 Hugh Miller, Columbus, OH had 4 dinosaur bone samples carbon dated at 20,000 years old. The samples were not identified as dinosaur in advance. -Noah to Abram the Turbulent Years by Erich von Fange, p. 36 Excess Argon within Mineral Concentrates from the New Dacite Lava Dome at Mount St. Helens Volcano Creation Ex Nihilo Technical Journal Vol. 10 (3); 335-343.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42940 Feb 19, 2005 Worldnetdaily, Professor Reiner Protsch von Zieten, a teacher at Frankfurt University, resigned from his job over misdating the 27,400yr old Paderborn skull. Oxford retested it and said it was from an elderly man who died in 1750. He also misdated the "Bischof-Speyer" skeleton, found with unusually good teeth in Northern Germany, at 21,300 yrs. Oxford found it to be only 3,300. In their report, they called Protsch's 30 years of work a "dating disaster." Dec 23, 1996 Newsweek Karl Swisher dated a homo erectus between 53,000-27,000 years old. That's a possibility of almost a 100% error. Living mollusk shells were carbon dated as being 2300 years old. 141, 1963 pp. 634-637

-Science

"In the last two years an absolute date has been obtained for the Ngandong beds, above the Trinil beds, and it has the very interesting value of 300,000 years plus or minus 300,000 years." -J.B. Birdsell, Human Evolution, Rand McNally, 1975, p. 295 Moon rocks brought back in 1969, were given to many different laboratories to be dated. One rock (specimen 10017) was divided into 6 pieces and dated many times. The ages ranged from 2.5 billion to 4.6 billion years. This is a 90% error rate, from the same rock. James P. Dawson, Chief of Engineering and Operations for the Lunar and Earth Science Division at the Manned Spacecraft Center NASA in Houston. He worked on lunar samples including the Genesis rock. He said they found ages from 10,000 years to several billion years in the same rock. ________________________________________________________________________________ 33. THE GRAND CANYON

If you look at the walls of the Grand Canyon you will see many sections of colored layers. According to an old earth belief, this indicates millions of years of light pink debris were followed by millions of years of gray debris, followed by millions of years of dark pink debris, and so forth. What possible factors could have explained this uniformity of color, not to mention the uniformity of the lines dividing the layers? They are relatively smooth, even lines that stretch for great distances without any signs of erosion between them. You would think it would rain at least a few times every million years or so, yet there are almost no signs of erosion, and many layers are clearly defined. Also the Kiabab Uplift is the highest point of the Grand Canyon, but it is 4,000 feet higher than where the Colorado River enters the canyon. Evolutionists and old earth believers would say that the river miraculously flowed up-hill for millions of years to finally cut the groove deep enough so they could flow downhill. This defies the law of gravity, and everything that is known about how a canyon forms. The explanation that makes more sense is that it was created very quickly as a washed out spillway from a massive worldwide flood. _________________________________________________________________________________ 34. SOMETHING TO PONDER We have all heard about extinct species of animals, and 'prehistoric' creatures, but rarely is there ever mentioned an extinct plant, or extinct tree. Even more startling is the evolution of plants is almost non-existent, and it is generally regarded that all plant life on earth today has always been here, with the exception of recently cross-fertilized flowers and genetically engineered crops. Similarly, there is almost nothing in any science book indicating where and how plant life and animal life split billions of years ago in the primordial ooze. The overwhelming lack of evidence of plant evolution, even from evolutionists, should raise some eyebrows, but it is never addressed. Below is one of the more recent prehistoric trees still found alive. Nursing an "Extinct" Tree Back to Health Elizabeth M. Tasker for National Geographic News March 5, 2003 In 1994 a bizarre-looking tree previously known only from 120 million-year-old fossil leaves was discovered alive and well in a rugged gorge west of Sydney, Australia. Fewer than 100 Wollemi pines exist in the wild, and scientists and horticulturists are undertaking a massive effort to cultivate additional trees to improve the species' chances of survival. By 2005/2006 more than half a million of them will go on sale worldwide as garden and indoor plants. _________________________________________________________________________________ 35.
