How-Evolution-Flunked-the-Science-Test

     Recently I talked to a man with a fantastic amount of faith. Not
one shade of doubt crept into his animated description of man's origin
and destiny. He was an evolutionist I met on an airplane. With
incredible confidence he bridged the eons of prehistoric time to
explain the existence of modern plant and animal life. His detailed
description of human ascent from a tiny, one-celled monad was so vivid
and convincing that one could almost believe he had seen the
microscopic amoeba turn into a man.

     What is this evolution doctrine that inspires so much faith in its
disciples? How has it turned great scientists into dogmatic opponents
of any other viewpoint? Many evolutionary scientists have united their
professional influence to forbid any classroom instruction contrary to
their own views. Does the theory of evolution merit this kind of
fanatical support, which would silence all opposing ideas? When
religious people take such a position, they are called bigots, but
scientists seem to escape that charge. In February of 1977, nearly 200
members of the nation's academic community sent letters to school
boards across the United States, urging that no alternate ideas on
origins be permitted in classrooms.

     This indicates that the evolutionists are feeling the threat of a
rising revolt against the stereotyped, contradictory versions of their
theory. Many students are looking for honest answers to their questions
about the origin and purpose of life. For the first time, the stale
traditions of evolution have to go on the defensive. But let's take a
look at what they have to defend. Then you will understand why these
evolutionary scientists are people of such extraordinary faith, and why
they are so fearful of facing competition at the school level.
