CREATION #6

cesses" that have

never been observed or defined. The process of

spontaneous generation has never been duplicated

in a laboratory. No new species has ever been

observed even though we can greatly accelerate

rates of mutation, fruit flies are still

fruit flies, bacteria is still bacteria (although

they may be deformed). No new structure has

ever been observed to form.

6.3.4. All require an enormous time frame. If you ask

"why don't we see evolution?" the answer given is

"evolution takes place over billions of years

and we have just never been at the right place at

the right time".

6.4. Defusing evolution. Geologists credit biologists

with the evidence for evolution while biologists

credit geologists with the firm evidence.

6.4.1. The fossil record. The main issue of the

fossil record is the order of appearance of

animals. The fossil record matches creation of

Biblical "kinds" perfectly. The lack of

"intermediate forms" or "missing links" was

the basis of punctuated equilibrium. Common

pictures of the evolution of the horse and man

are scientific distortions.

6.4.1.1. A fossil is any record of previous life.

Because of rapid decay on the surface

fossils must be rapidly buried (volcanic

ash, flood). There are numerous

methods of fossilization; petrification

(replacement of wood by silica), a mold, a

cast, a preserved shell, a foot print,

freezing.

6.4.2. Comparative anatomy (comparing different

parts). Evolutionists claim that different

organisms have similar parts because they had a

common origin. One important question is which

parts should be compared with which animal. It

would be more sensible to look for a comparative

DNA (it is all made out of the same

chemicals). Comparison of DNA does not match any

evolutionary scheme. Comparative anatomy fits

the idea of a creator reusing a design that works

well (fins on a fish, shark, whale).

6.4.3. Vestigial structures
