THE BEST EVIDENCES OF EVOLUTION

Evolutionists have an extremely difficult time coming up with evidences in favor of their theory. Here are their best ones, but they sure are laughable. This is science vs. evolution—a Creation-Evolution Encyclopedia, brought to you by Creation Science Facts.

CONTENTS: The Best Evidences of Evolution

1: Living things have parents
2: Living things have children
3: There are perfections
4: There are imperfections
5: Species have become extinct

This material is excerpted from the book, HISTORY OF EVOLUTIONARY THEORY. An asterisk ( * ) by a name indicates that person is not known to be a creationist. Of over 4,000 quotations in the books this Encyclopedia is based on, only 164 statements are by creationists.
You will have a better understanding of the following statements by scientists if you will also read the web page, History of Evolutionary Theory.

Throughout this set of books we have said there are no genuine evidences that any aspect of evolutionary theory is true. Yet the evolutionists themselves have, at last, produced five reasons why they believe evolution to be true. —Yet not one of them provides any evidence of evolution. Here they are:

WE KNOW THAT EVOLUTION IS TRUE
BECAUSE LIVING THINGS HAVE PARENTS

"No one has ever found an organism that is known not to have parents, or a parent. This is the strongest evidence on behalf of evolution."—*Tom Bethell, "Agnostic Evolutionists," Harper's, February 1985, p. 61.

WE KNOW THAT EVOLUTION IS TRUE
BECAUSE LIVING THINGS HAVE CHILDREN

"The theory of neo-Darwinism is a theory of the evolution of the population in respect to leaving offspring and not in respect to anything else . . Everybody has it in the back of his mind that the animals that leave the largest number of offspring are going to be those best adapted also for eating peculiar vegetation or something of this sort, but this is not explicit in the theory . . There you do come to what is, in effect, a vacuous statement: Natural selection is that some things leave more offspring than others; and it is those that leave more offspring [that are being naturally selected], and there is nothing more to it than that. The whole real guts of evolution—which is how do you come to have horses and tigers and things—is outside the mathematical theory."—*C.H. Waddington, quoted by Tom Bethell, in "Darwin's Mistake," Harper's Magazine, February 1976, p. 75.

WE KNOW THAT EVOLUTION IS TRUE
BECAUSE THERE ARE PERFECTIONS

"So natural selection as a process is okay. We are also pretty sure that it goes on in nature, although good examples are surprisingly rare. The best evidence comes from the many cases where it can be shown that biological structures have been optimized—that is, structures that represent optimal engineering solutions to the problems that an animal has of feeding or escaping predators or generally functioning in its environment . . The presence of these optimal structures does not, of course, prove that they developed through natural selection, but does provide strong circumstantial argument."—*David M. Raup, "Conflicts Between Darwin and Paleontology," Bulletin of the Field Museum of Natural History, January 1979, pp. 25-26.

WE KNOW THAT EVOLUTION IS TRUE
BECAUSE THERE ARE IMPERFECTIONS

"If there were no imperfections, there would be no evidence to favor evolution by natural selection over creation."—*Jeremy Cherfas, "The Difficulties of Darwinism," New Scientist, Vol. 102 (May 17, 1984), p. 29. [*Cherfas was reporting on special lectures by *S.J. Gould at Cambridge University; notice what the expert said: "Apart from imperfections, there is no evidence."]

"The proof of evolution lies in imperfection."—*Stephen Jay Gould, The Panda's Thumb (1980).

WE KNOW THAT EVOLUTION IS TRUE
BECAUSE SPECIES HAVE BECOME EXTINCT

"The best clincher is extinction. For every species now in existence, roughly ninety-nine have become extinct. The question of why they have become extinct is of enormous importance to evolutionists. It has been studied by many men, but a convincing answer has not been found. It remains unclear why any given species has disappeared."—*David Raup, "Conflicts between Darwin and Paleontology," Field Museum of Natural History Bulletin, January 1979, p. 29.

"[*Charles] Darwin wrote to him [Thomas Huxley] about his remarks about a certain extinct bird, `Your old birds have offered the best support to the theory of evolution.' "—*G.R. Taylor, Great Evolution Mystery (1983), p. 119.
