Non-christian Reasons for Rejecting Evolution Education

In the year 2004 an ancient streambed emerged from the work of road construction, uncovering a fossil supposedly 365 million years old. The limb bone of a prehistoric tetrapod had been fossilized. Tetrapods are animals with a spine and four limbs that evolution theory says evolved from fins allowing an aquatic life form to "walk" out of water onto land (John Roach).

Very recently, more "evidence" of the transitional species predicted by Darwin, has turned up in the form of Tiktaalik, the fossilized record of an ancient fish that could walk. It is predicted that an array of "missing links" will be uncovered in great detail to the proving of the evolution of life (Novacek, Michael J.). At first, the presentation of such physical evidence appears to be what evolutionists label as the "missing links" between ancestor and descendant life forms, and thus, proof of such phenomenon. Nevertheless, failure to investigate the genuineness of any evidence is crucial to guard against not only the deception of evolution education but also of non-scriptural teachings by Creationists.

When defenders of evolution speak of "evidence" of the theory, it is interesting to note how they very conveniently omit extremely relevant information on the topic in question to allow the reader to make an informed decision whether to believe or reject any proposed theory.

In 1938, a very strange looking, large blue fish was caught from the Indian Ocean near Madagascar. It was identified as a crossopterygian fish that is one of the fish from the record of fossils named coelacanth. Evolutionists have affirmed that these fish are ancestors of animals with four limbs and a backbone, which of course, includes man. The problem is that evolution theory taught that crossopterygian fish became extinct 80 million years ago. How then has this fish been found alive in 1938 (Dr. David N. Menton)? This truth is only one in literally hundreds of modern day discoveries that are steadily coming forth and unveiling the absurdity of evolution theory which is nothing but guesswork, not even worthy of being called a hypothesis (educated guess).

The latest claim of proof of evolution in the fossilized record of the supposed ancient fish Tiktaalik is simply another desperate attempt by evolutionists to find what does not exist, a record that undeniably shows one life form in the very process of evolving into a different one. Again, on this subject, the reader is not told that there are approximately 25,000 different species or "kinds" of fish, with around 200 more being discovered each year as technology allows man access to the deepest parts of the abyss.

Experts agree that there once may have existed as many as one million different species of fish. This is a profound statement for many reasons. First, with just the thousands of species of fish that are identified, an astounding amount of differences are seen. There are fish with scales and fish without scales. Evolutionists are not claiming that the fish without scales are in transition towards the development of skin. There are fish that walk such as the walking catfish but it is not said that he is on his way to becoming a land creature. There are fish that fly hundreds of yards, yet evolutionists are not claiming that they are in the process of becoming birds. The beta fish which were introduced to the United States, have organs similar to lungs that take in oxygen directly from the air and that will drown if not able to come up to the water's surface to breath air. Nevertheless, they are not said to be turning into land animals, and certainly not into people. Why are such claims not being made about these fish? The answer is that the experts realize, through the use of technology's ability to peer into the bodies of these animals, that however diverse they may be, they are still all fish. Is this not what the Bible had already said when it referred to different "kinds" of the same animal (Genesis 1:21 of the Holy Bible)? A "kind" of an animal is the species of that same animal. Why does evolution education in most, if not all of America's classrooms leave out important discoveries such as that of the finding of what evolutionists had said to be an extinct fish?

It has clearly been shown that evolution theory will never be proven to be scientific fact. It has had many years to build its case, yet, has not gained any ground among those who truly seek truth. In fact, it has lost ground among scientists, many of whom have rejected the great falsehood.

Do Believers in Evolution Have More Faith Than Believers in God?
By: Hannah Henderson | 14/03/2008 | Science
Many of the stars are said to be billions of light years away, meaning it took billions of years for light to travel to Earth. People on Earth now see this light; therefore, Earth must be billions of years old. Christians learn, in plain language, the deception of such teachings which refute Earth's approximate age, according to the Bible. It's not important to know Earth's age as far as salvation is concerned. However, it is important to realize that there are no errors in God's Word.
