| Why Scientists Dispute Darwin by Russell Leitch (January-February, 1999) |
Do all scientists accept evolution? No, but it is “politically correct” to do so and schools
believe they cannot teach a divine creation legally (they can according to the US
Supreme Court.) An impressive group of scientists with advanced degrees does not
accept evolution. Why do they differ?
Space research shows many reasons to believe in a recent creation. Our moon
should have millions of years of cosmic dust covering it, yet we found only a trace.
Comets now are known to lose matter at a rate showing they have been formed only
recently. Earth's magnetic field declines so rapidly it would be close to that of a
magnetic star if over 30,000 years old (impossible). Carbon 14 atmospheric equilibrium
would have been established if it was 30,000 years old. It has not!

Geological strata once thought to have formed over millions of years, have been seen to form in days at the
formation of Spirit Lake as a result of the Mt. St. Helen's eruption. Trees, once thought to have been deposited
at different layers over millions of years also were found suspended at various layers with silt beginning to cover
them, at Spirit Lake. Coal now is known to form rapidly under pressure rather than after millions of years.
Stalactites now are known to form in a few years rather than in thousands.
Oceans contain deposits showing only a few thousand years of deposition: cobalt only 18,000; bismuth 45,000;
The decay of C-14 in pre-Cambrian wood indicates about 4,000 years. (See Prehistory and Earth Models, Dr.
Melvin Cook, London, Max Parish.)
Paleontology no longer has many of the “missing links” once claimed. Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon are now
known to be modern men. Piltdown Man was a fraud. Java Man, Pekin Man and others were bits and pieces from
different layers and places, now discarded. Ramapithecus is known to be an extinct ape. The Leakey family
discoveries of “later” fossils in strata lower than “earlier” and the refusal of some evolutionists to accept. them as
pre-men shows the confusion in what remains of the “ascent of man.”
Biology knows more today and shows the “simple” cell is not simple. The simplest contains at least 20 enzymes
and 20 co-enzymes- all extremely complicated. Cells are made of ribosomes, centrioles, vacuoles, chromosomes
and the fascinating mitochrondia which contain 50,000 tri-partite units that oscillate 1,500 times a minute!
Experiments tell us all components must be present before the cell can operate. The cell cannot live until it is
complete. If it came together over thousands of years, what kept the components going until they met up with all
the other components and so could live? Life forms must be complete before they can live! If the original cell
was formed at one time, it wasn't by accident.
Dating fossils and rock is a shambles. Example: tests of lava in Hawaii indicated it was up to 160 million years
old, yet it had been seen to form 177 years ago. Numerous Carbon 14 tests have shown ages of fossils only
thousands , though “the earth strata is supposed to be millions of years old. Human tracks can be seen in the
Paluxy River bed (Texas) crossing dinosaur tracks, though dinosaurs are supposed to have died out 80 million
years before men arrived. And ancient drawings by humans in Africa and Arizona depict supposedly extinct
dinos.
The Big Bang. Evolutionists need an old universe because they believe any life form can arise if given enough
time. So the universe must be very old. But we find many problems and no consistent pattern among the objects
in space. For example, we find Jupiter's moon, Io, is very warm inside though it should be cold, if existing millions
of years. We should find Venus worn smooth after millions of years subjected to its rapidly circulating, heavy
atmosphere, but it is craggy and mountainous. Because evolutionists could not explain where matter came from,
they proposed that it always existed and alternately pulled into one mass and then exploded (Big Bang) to form
galaxies. But research shows matter clumps up in space while a massive explosion should disseminate it equally
in all directions. In the ’90s the Hubble telescope found “ripples” in radiation throughout space supposedly
remaining from the Bang that could have caused clumping. They claimed it proved the whole theory. But, what
they measured was a heat variation they interpreted as a ripple in radiation; it was at a distance of 14 billion light
years away (their estimate) and measured a difference of only 0.00007 of a degree, in temperature only 2.7
degrees above absolute zero! Small wonder the test is hard to verify, much less interpret as the salvation of the
theory.
These are only a few Darwinian problems. Others include the absolute lack of any fossil in the state of getting a
new feature — a wing, lung, etc., No fossils of giraffes with only short necks; no fish with developing wings or
legs. Evolution claims life forms were always changing, becoming more complex. Not one fossil has ever been
found in the state of change! LSI
