Today in my school work I was studying the contrast between the evolution and the creation models and what predictions could be made concerning the fossil record.
Within the fossil record the creation model would predict to find:
- Sudden appearance in great variety of highly complex forms
- Sudden appearance of each created type with characteristics complete
- Sharp boundaries separating major taxonomic groups
- No transitional forms between higher categories
Within the fossil record the evolution model would predict to find:
- Gradual change of simple forms into more and more complex forms
- Transitional series linking all categories
- No systematic gaps
Scientifically speaking, the model which can best explain and correlate the data is the better model. As I look at the fossils I find along the ‘Jurassic Coast’, and as I look through museums and text books, what I see supports the creation model better than the evolution model. If evolution were the better model then surely the museums should be full of the transitional fossils. After 150 years of intense searching a large number of obvious transitional forms would have been found if the predictions of the evolution model were valid.
Fossil Record
What I see are “millions of dead things buried in rock layers, laid down by water all over the earth”. (Ken Ham) The fossils are a massive grave yard of highly complex forms of life, with no transitional forms, that were laid down very quickly (possibly by a world wide flood). I see fossilised remains of plants, dinosaurs, horses, dogs, elephants, monkeys, apes, and man fully developed with all the characteristics that define that particular kind.
I also see trees standing up through coal seams. I see big fish in the middle of eating little fish. I see mammoths with fresh food still in their mouths. Those animals were buried very quickly.
The Emperors New Suit
Many of you have said in your comments that I believe in a fairytale, ie the Bible. The more I study evolution though, the more it reminds me of Hans Christian Anderson’s story of the “Emperors New Suit”.
Everyone was tricked by the merchants that the Emperors clothes were real. In fact you had to be wise to see them and no one wanted to admit that they were not wise. It took a little child to shout out the truth “The Emperor has nothing on at all!”
To ’see’ evolution you have to be ‘wise’. In fact you have to be a ’scientist’ to really understand. You don’t need to be a scientist to see that there is nothing there. But how embarrassing it would be for the universities and ’scientists’ who have invested years of their life and millions of tax payers money if a little child were to shout out. Evolution is naked: There is nothing there at all!!
