The doctrine of evolution which has been passed off as science and taught in most of our public schools is nothing more than a theory , not even a scientific one, complemented by a series of hoaxes. I remember how as a young student I marveled at the artist's conception of the "Java Man" who had lived a million years ago. This was a "science" book and the possibility that it might not be true never entered my young mind. I, like so many others, accepted "science" as absolutely true and the Bible (which I had never read) as myth, superstition, etc. Forty years later I learned that Eugene Dubois, the man credited with discovering this "missing link" in our "evolutionary chain", had perpetrated a great hoax on me and YOU. Before he died he admitted the whole thing and even concluded that the skull belonged to a large gibon, not any ape-man. There were many such frauds perpetrated on us to give the apppearance of scientific credibility. One of the fundamentals of scientific examination is that a theory be testable. The proponents of evolution have repeatedly altered their thoeries as their previous ones became testable by advancing Science. Here is an example of that: Dr. Stephen Jay Gould, one of the most vocal advocates of evolution in America, and Dr. Niles Eldredge of the American Museum of Natural History said that it has long been a "trade secret" of paleontologists that transitional forms (missing links) do not exist. (Among the millions of fossils found, not one supported Darwins theory; time for a new theory) They put forth the theory of "Punctuated Equilibria". What that essentially means is that a lizard laid an egg and another lizard hatched out of it, time after time. Then one day, perhaps after a million generations, a lizard laid an egg and a bird flew out of it.
What do real scientists say?
1)Sir Fred Hoyle, one of the most noted astronomers and mathemeticians of our time and the originator of the "Big Bang Theory" said the following after examining the statistical probability of life forming by chance on this planet, "The notion that not only biopolymers but the operation programme of a living cell could be arrived at by chance in a primordial organic suop here on the earth is evidently nonsense of a high order." He also examined the probability of life originating on some other planet and concluded that life would never have originated by chance in even 20 billion years (the estimated age of the universe). Hoyle, a life long atheist, went on to say that the only way life could have come to pass is through the application of a very high order of intelligence which we may call God.
2) Francis Crick, one of the worlds most prestigious biologists and co-discoverer of DNA, after examining the possibility that such complex molecules could come into existence by chance, concluced that it was not possible.
3) Dr. Paul LeMoine: "Evolution is a fairy tale for adults."
