BRAINWASHED
#1 by Duane T. Gish, Ph.D.
(Duane T. Gish, Ph.D. (Biochemistry,
University of California, Berkeley)
is Associate Director of the
Institute of Creation Research and Professor of
Natural Science and
Apologetics at Christian Heritage College, San Diego,
California. He spent 18
years in biochemical and biomedical research with the
Upjohn Company and at
Cornell University and Berkeley. There are over 450
scientists with a master's
or doctor's degree in some field of natural science
are now voting members of
the Creation Research Society.
The following lecture was
given at the University of California at Davis
and has been greatly
condensed for the sake of space.
As a scientist, I believe
we must examine all the evidence and facts
before we can come to any
conclusion on any given subject. I'm asking only one
thing of this audience...
that you examine the facts thoroughly and without
prejudice.
The refusal by science
teachers to consider creation as a possible
explanation for the origin
of all things, is unwarranted and undesirable. The
student is being
indoctrinated without being given a complete presentation of
the evidence.
This situation could be
remedied by taking a closer look at both
creation and evolution.
First, let's examine the
claims of each. The EVOLUTIONIST states that
all life gradually evolved
from a single cell, which had evolved from dead
matter.
CREATIONISTS believe that
life and our existence came by the acts of a
Creator.
The evidence that the
EVOLUTIONIST needs to establish his claims, is
fossils showing a gradual
step-by-step development of lower animal life into
more and more complex forms.
And this should be evident
by the presence in the fossil record of many
transitional forms.
The evidence needed to
support CREATION, is fossils showing complex life
appearing suddenly...with no
fossil evidence of lower animals developing into
new and complex forms of
life.
