Evolution Apologetics by the National Academy -Recommended Reading For the Creationist
This article reviews and critiques three booklets published by the National Academy of Sciences. These booklets are important to the creationist in two ways. First: To correctly learn the claims of evolutionists. Second: To better understand that the goal of many leading evolutionists is to eliminate belief in a creator god.
Evolutionists Say Amazing Things “Evolution is a Leap of Imagination”
Richard Dawkins is one of the world’s greatest defenders of evolution. He regularly derides those who believe in a supernatural deity. In the preface to one of his bestselling books, he wonders why “the vast majority of people” refuse to deny the supernatural and therefore refuse to accept god-less evolution. He lists reasons why he thinks people persist in religious belief and concludes with the truth that evolution is “contrary to all intuition,” and is “a very large leap of imagination …a leap of the imagination so large that, to this day, many people seem unwilling to make it.”
Evolutionists Say: No Experiment Can Disprove Big Bang
Evolutionary models are often presented as being accepted by all scientists. A 2017 Scientific American article pulls back the curtain, letting us see that evolutionists debate whether the standard inflationary Big Bang model should be discarded, and some “new idea” found as a replacement. Prestigious evolutionists wrote this quote in Scientific American magazine. Their words echo the creationist claim that some evolutionary models cannot be falsified. See article for the complete quote.
Evolutionists Say Amazing Things: “We Do Not Know”
This is an amazing admission from an expert in the evolutionary theory of how life began. His words mean that over the past 150 years, evolutionists have learned almost nothing about how non-living chemicals became the first living thing. This champion of evolution claims that in 1859 Darwin was “in the dark” as to how life began without a creator, and we are still “in the dark” today. I agree. No one knows how non-living chemicals could ever self-assemble into life, even over an infinite length of time.

The Gap Theory by Darrel Kautz 1988, reprinted 2008
The view of origins known as the "Gap Theory" is an attempt to harmonize the long ages of evolution with Genesis 1:1-2. It originated in 1814 with Dr Thomas Chalmers of Edinburgh University, Scotland. The theory was popularized in the Scofield Reference Bible of 1917,

Great Science Expectations by Gerald Mallmann (January-February, 2002)
The following is a presentation by our executive director first given to a teachers conference in 1982. In it he shares his concerns about the state of science teaching in our Lutheran schools.

Historical vs. Operational Science: Why Knowing the Difference Between the Two Matters
When one considers the major accomplishments by scientists today, Historical science seems to play little if any role. What do medical researchers, rocket scientists, automobile engineers, nutritionists etc. need to know about radiometric dating, abiogenesis, macroevolution or the Big Bang when it comes to new breakthroughs in their fields? And only Operational science and not Historical science can make full use of the acclaimed scientific method

How Atheistic Evolutionists View Theistic Evolution by Darrel Kautz 1988, republished 2008.
Excerpt: "To an atheistic evolutionist the entire notion of theistic evolution is absurd. The theory of evolution was designed to escape God and theistic evolutionists make God a part of evolution! When a person accepts evolution as a process used by the Creator, says the atheistic evolutionist, he should go all the way and reject the supernatural completely.
Description
Summary: We have seen that evolution is a lie, because it is contrary to Scripture. We have looked at the nature of evidence, and found that false things like evolution can have evidence. We have considered how science is sometimes wrong, and how evolution is one of the places where science is wrong. Next we surveyed several of the countless pieces of evidence for evolution, and the weaknesses of that evidence. Creationists see similar weakness in all evidence for evolution. Finally, we evaluated who defines science, and that the scientific community overwhelmingly accepts evolution as having evidence.
Evolution will never make any progress at reaching any truth, wherever it is attempting to explain the result of a miracle through natural means.

Excerpt: "There are two competing world views regarding origins: 1. Evolution teaches us that stars have changed into people over billions of years, and that there never was a worldwide flood. 2. Creation teaches us that God created everything, including stars and people, thousands of years ago, and that there really was a worldwide flood.
We all see the same fossils, same rocks, same animals, and same universe. Why are there two world views?"
Description
Think about the many unprovable assumptions which an evolutionist uses in determining the age of a cave. If any of these unproven assumptions are wrong, then the resulting scientific conclusions made by evolutionists are invalid.
