CHAPTER II
WHAT ABOUT EVOLUTION?
Most people are taught to believe that all forms of life evolved from lower forms of life and few there are who bother to check out the facts. Many are so convinced, that evolution is taken as synonymous with “science” - and thus any idea which disagrees with evolutionary theories are rejected as being unscientific.[21
The TRUTH is that not only is there not one, I repeat - not one (!) piece of scientific evidence supporting evolution, but also:
Evolution now stands Scientifically exposed and discredited.
Evolution is the worst mistake in science.
Evolution is a Hoax and a myth.
Evolution is Science Fiction.
Evolution is a fairytale for adults.
Evolution is false dogma promoted by atheistic and agnostic “scientists” as a State Religion!.
Evolution is not science, its nonsense.
Evolution is a lie.
Evolution is a great Evil and has led to other evils: Loss of interest in Christianity! It is the basis for Atheism and Racism. It leads to the “everything goes” mindset of pornography, abortion, violence, selfishness, etc.
It has been shown that all of the Sciences prove evolution is false.[22] For example:
1. The Science of Thermodynamics shows that Evolution violates its First and Second Laws.
2. The Science of Astronomy shows that our Solar System could not have formed from condensing gases and the Universe is not 20 billion years old nor the Earth 4.5 billion years old but 10,000 years or less!
3. The Science of Radio Chemistry shows that there is no direct method for determining the age of any rock. Radio-metric dating methods have serious flaws.
4. The Science of Sedimentology shows that strata are not separated by age but by particle size. This fact destroys the validity of the so-called Geological Column. It also shows that the so-called “missing links” are not missing, they never existed!
5. The Science of Genetics has raised insoluble problems for Evolution. Life cannot come from non-life and Adam could not have had an animal for a father.

1. Thermodynamics and Evolution[23]
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics tells us that “natural” systems tend towards increasing Entropy (increasing disorder or randomness). This means that “Order” cannot spontaneously arise from “Disorder”, nor can the complex arise from the simple. The 2nd Law tells us that primitive gas could not evolve into a human being by natural processes. The 2nd Law therefore says that Evolution is impossible.
Of course the next question is: Where did all this gas come from? What natural process made Hydrogen gas which is “highly ordered”. Where did the electrons and protons come from? Evolution has no answers. The 2nd Law tells us that nature couldn’t do it.
The 2nd Law also tells us that the Universe is running down (increasing in disorder, increasing in randomness). All activity in the Universe is causing an increase in this Entropy: Burning of the Sun, movement in the solar system, growing vegetation, building cars, breathing animals, etc all use up energy and increase randomness. Eventually the Universe will be at absolute 0 degrees and all motion will cease (unless GOD acts). The question is: How did it all start? If the Universe is running down and there are no known Processes for rewinding it, Who wound it up in the first place?! The 2nd Law says that it had to have a beginning sometime, and not too long ago or else it would already be wound down. The Universe, oscillating forever between “The Big Bang” and massive Condensation, is not an option. The 2nd Law says it had to have had a beginning.
The 1st Law of Thermodynamics precludes it having begun by itself. It tells us that matter and energy can be neither created nor destroyed. Since it had to have a beginning (2nd Law) and since it could not have “naturally” created itself (1st Law), then it had to have a First Cause outside of “Nature” – a Supernatural First Cause – GOD.
So there we have it! The 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics not only prove that Evolution is impossible, but also prove that God Exists!
Scientists have shown that Evolution is false. Atheists are hoping that this does not become generally known.

2. Astronomy and Evolution[24]
Our Solar System could not have formed from the condensation of swirling dusts or gases as evolutionists claim. Science knows of no process whereby grains of weightless dusts and gas will stick together and accumulate to a size where gravity will take effect (about the size of the moon). By natural law, a cloud of gas and dust would disperse and become more diffuse. Even an astronaut will drift away from a station in space unless tethered or with a source of propulsion energy.
The Sun and Planets could not have condensed from a swirling cloud because:
1. The Sun has only 1% of the rotational momentum of the Solar System but it has 99% of the mass. By the Law of the Conservation of Angular Momentum it should have 99% of the rotational momentum (not just 1%!).
2. Venus and Uranus rotate backwards!
3. About 1/3 of the moons in the Solar System, orbit their planet in a direction opposite their axis of rotation.
4. Saturn and Neptune have moons going in both directions!
5. Pluto orbits the Sun on a plane different from that of the other planets.
6. Our moon has a composition very different from that of the Earth.
Evolution offers no explanation for these facts.
The Universe is much younger than 20 billion years because:
1. Measurements of the speed of light during the past 300 years show it is slowing according to a precise geometrical decay function. It gives a speed only 6000 years ago, close to infinity!
2. Galaxies are always found in clusters, never alone. Since they have random motion and insufficient gravity to hold the cluster together, all galaxies should have escaped their clusters in only millions of years. In even less time there should be some lone galaxies.
3. “Barred” galaxies look like an “S” with a straight bar like an axle at the center. After only one revolution the bars should have started to bend. Spiral arm galaxies should be almost wound up after one or two revolutions.
Page 14
4. O and B stars are burning up so fast that their mass just thousands of years ago would approach infinity.
5. Estimates of short period comet lifetimes are 10,000 years or less because of their rate of loss of mass. They are believed to be the same age as The Universe. If they existed for only hundreds of thousands of years, their mass would have been several times that of the Sun!. The Sun would then be orbiting them!
6. The Sun picks up 100,000 tons of micrometeoroids a day. The Solar System is loaded with them, yet there should be very few if it were billions of years old.
7. The astronauts found only about ½ inch of meteorite dust on the moon, indicating an age of about 8000 years.
8. Meteorite dust is rich in nickel. Ocean sediments contain little nickel, indicating a time span measured in thousand of years at the most.
9. Carbon 14 is forming faster than its decay into nitrogen 14. Equilibrium has not yet been reached. This should have happened in about 30,000 years.
10. The quick decay of the Earth’s magnetic field over the last 130 years indicates an age of less than 10,000 years. If the Earth existed only 20,000 years ago, the stronger field would generate enough heat to melt rock, too hot for life!
11. The helium in the atmosphere is increasing due to the Sun’s corona and the decay of uranium. There is not nearly enough helium in the atmosphere for the process to be going on for billions of years.
12. High-pressure gas wells indicate a young age. With time, the pressure would fall.
13. The oldest trees are only about 4900 years old.
14. Mankind’s cultural history appears suddenly and sophisticated less than 10,000 years ago. Earliest language about 6000 BC, fully developed, without a trace of evolution.
All of this Scientific data show that the Universe and the Earth are nowhere near billions of years old but more likely less than 10,000 years old! Oh yea! What about all the radiometric dating methods which indicate much greater ages!
Page 15
3. The Science of Radio Chemistry and Evolution
Radiometric dating methods seem to contradict data from the other Scientific studies, which indicate a young Universe and Earth. They are based on the ratio of remaining radioactive minerals to their decay products, such as Uranium-Lead, Potassium-Argon, or Rubidium-Strontium. They make the following unjustified assumptions:
1. They assume that none of the decay products existed in the original rock. Of course if the original rock already contained Lead or Argon or Strontium, then these methods give ages vastly too old.
2. They assume that none of the original Uranium, Potassium, or Rubidium salts were lost, for example, extracted by water. Of course if this happened, then again an error of excessive age would exist. This is a particular problem dating fossils, which are found only in sedimentary rock, formed under water!
3. They assume that original rock was not contaminated by outside sources, a problem with sedimentary rock.
4. They assume that radioactive decay rates never vary - not true. Cosmic radiation can effect decay rates, and it changes with fluctuations in the Earth’s magnetic field, supernova explosions in a nearby star, etc.
5. They assume that the ratio of Argon-40 to Argon-36 has always been 300 to 1. Space probes to Mars and Venus show ratios vastly different, so this assumption falls.
6. Potassium decays into both Calcium-40 and Argon-40. The observed ratio is 0.12 A ratio as low as 0.08 is sometimes “assumed” to make the numbers come out “right”!
Radioactive dating methods have been wrecked on rocks of known ages and shown to be meaningless. Rocks known to be 200 years old were dated at up to 22 million years! Rock
formed in 1801 gave dates from 160 million to 3 billion years!
There is no direct method to determine the age of any rock.
Evolutionists cling to discredited radiometric dating because these sometimes give the enormous ages needed for evolution. Data which disagrees with Evolutionist’s theology are seldom published.
Carbon-14 dating is used for organic materials. It becomes unreliable beyond 3000 years because its production and decay are not in equilibrium. The ratio of Carbon-14 to Carbon-12 is likely not constant throughout time as is assumed.
Page 16
The idea that stalagmites and stalactites indicate extreme age has been overturned. In Carlsbad Caverns a bat has been found entombed in a stalagmite. The bat would have rotted away if the stalagmite formed very slowly.
4. The Science of Sedimentology and Evolution[25]
Basic to the Theory of Evolution is the Geologic Column. Earth history is divided into various Eras, such as Mesozoic and Paleozoic. The Geologic Column has become “scientifically” sacred. Yet it has no physical reality. It does not exist in any part of the world. It is a prime example of Atheistic beliefs presented as Science! It is based on the false assumption that Evolution is true. It is also based on the so-called fossil record, which shows how different kinds of creatures are found in various strata. The creatures become more advanced in the higher strata, which are assumed to be younger. They claim this to be a strong proof for Evolution.
What they don’t want you to know is that the Science of Sedimentology, has long proved, that the strata are not laid down by age but by particle size.
The implication of this fact is profound! If strata cannot be identified with vast periods of time, then neither can the fossils contained in them and the supposed evolutionary tree of evolving creatures has no basis in reality.
How Strata Are Formed:
During a flood, debris is carried from the hills into the sea and lakes. Large particles sink quickly near the shoreline. Smaller particles are carried further out and settle in deeper water. Silt is carried even further and settles deeper.. The debris is being separated by particle size and this creates the various layers of strata.
Page 17
The Making of a Geologic Column:
In the sea, different creatures live at various depths. During a flood, they are encased by debris in the strata forming at the depth where they live. Land creatures are encased by debris based on their ability to flee the flood: amphibians close to the water’s edge, animals that can run fast survive a little longer, followed by the climbers and those that can fly for awhile. The smart creatures may build a boat and end up in the highest strata. Lo!! The formation of a “Geologic Column” not separated by vast ages.
Further Evidence That Strata Form Fast and not Slow:
1. All over the Earth there is evidence of global flooding, with sedimentary rock even on mountain tops. There are many massive fossilized tree trunks that actually pass through several strata. These prove that strata are not formed slowly layer by layer. These trees must have been buried rapidly to avoid decay and provide mineral environment necessary to be uniformly fossilized.
2. The process of rapid stratification was demonstrated for us when Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980. Six hundred feet of strata sequences were formed in a matter of months. In two days a new canyon system formed over 140 feet deep, with features similar to The Grand Canyon.
3. To demonstrate the stratification of debris by particle size, fill a quart jar about 80% with water. Add a several inches of debris (sand and dirt). Put the lid on tight and shake the mixture vigorously for about 5 minutes. Leave the jar stand and watch the strata form.
The Science of Sedimentology proves that strata are laid down by particle size, not by age. Evolution has no support from the fossil record, which is not a record of transition, but of mass destruction, death and burial by water and its contained sediments. The so-called Geologic Column is simply the level where various creatures were entombed by The Great Flood. The Geologic Column and its many time periods have no basis in Science. The so-called missing links are not missing, they never existed.
5. The Science of Genetics and Evolution
The Problem of Immense Odds:
Genetics has raised insoluble problems for Evolution. One of them is the problem of immense odds. DNA is made up of proteins and proteins are made up of amino acids. In the evolutionists’ primeval soup, amino acids have a 50% chance of being either left-handed or right-handed. The problem for Evolution is that protein in living cells contain about 400 amino acids and they are all left-handed!! The odds of this happening by chance, is the same as flipping a coin and getting heads 400 times in a row!
Calculation of Odds of all 400 amino acids being left handed:
The odds are 1 in 2400 = 1 in antilog 400 log 2 = 1 in antilog 400x0.3 = 1 in antilog of 120
The odds are 1 in 10120 = odds of 400 left handed amino acids in primeval soup. That’s one chance out of a number beginning with one followed by 120 zeros!
Page 18
Mathematicians agree that when the odds against an event are greater than 1 in 1050, there is really zero probability of it ever happening.
But Evolutionists claim they have 4.5 billion years to do it! Science suggests that there is less than 10,000 years.
Calculation of how much amino acid would have to be available to react each second to get only one cell of 400 left-handed amino acids in say...heck let’s give them 20 billion years (2 x 1010 years):
Protein is built up of a - amino acids. The simplest is: H2N-CH2-CO(NH)-CH2-COOH. It has a molecular weight of 75 grams/gmole. There are Avogadro’s Number (6.02 x 1023) of molecules/gmole.
We found above that it will take 1 x 10120 amino acid molecules to make one cell of 400 left-handed molecules.
(1 x 10120molecules)(1 year) (1 day) ( 1 hour) (1 min.) (1 gmole) (75 grams)
(2 x 1010 years) (365 days) (24 hours) (60 min.)(60 sec.) (6.02 x 1023molecules)(gmole)
= 1.975 x 1079 grams of amino acid to react per second.
(1.975 x 1079 grams) (1 pound) ( 1 Ton) = 2.177 x 1073 Tons of amino acid
(1 second) (453.59 grams)(2000 pounds) 1 second
So we see that nature would have to react 2.177 x 1073 Tons of amino acid every second for 20 billion years to make just one cell containing 400 left-handed molecules! Handbooks give the mass of the whole Earth as only 6.6 x 1021 Tons.
The odds get much worse when we consider that the 400 amino acids must not only be all left-handed, but also of the proper kind and hooked together in the correct sequence. Then they must repeat this feat over and over again to make all the specialized types of protein and in sufficient quantity found for the vast variety of both plant and animal life on Earth. A vast variety of wonderful cells that are preprogrammed to grow into everything from a rose petal to a human brain. It has been estimated that the odds against even the simplest form of life evolving from non-life is 1 in 1040,000 !!
The problem of immense odds is enough to bury Darwin and the whole Theory of Evolution.
Page 19
The Problem of the Evolution of Organs:
How could an eye, a heart, a liver, a respiratory
system, hearing system, even a feather etc. evolve?
They have no “survival value” till complete and functioning
Other Problems with Evolution:
Which came first the bee or the flower, the protein or the DNA? They need each other to survive.
Is Breeding Evolution?
We should not confuse “breeding” with “evolution”. Breeding is not evolution.
Breeding is gene selection from a pool of genes to produce a different kind, within a species. For example, you start with a dog and you end up with a dog with certain features emphasized from the original. No new type of genes is created. The pool of genes is simply redistributed. Evolution, on the other hand claims gene mutation into a different species, that can’t mate with its parent stock. We can change a dog into a different kind of dog (breeding) but we can’t change a dog into a horse (evolution).
The Science of Genetics has proved that life cannot come from non-life. Adam could not have had an animal for a father and Evolution hasn’t got a feather to fly with! The very complicated, detailed genetic information of DNA in the vast variety of life, requires an intelligent Designer. The odds are too great to have happened by chance. Only God could do it because He is not bound by the Laws of Nature. God has no need for Evolution.
