Did our grandfathers look like this?

Or like this?

and how did it work without the other?

Which evolved first?

The Egg or The Hen

The Floweror

The Bee

Even if evolution is true, then….

Why are Apes and

Monkeys not extinct?

Where are the intermediate forms (missing links) between Ape and Man?

“There is no evidence which would show man developing step by step from lower forms of life...

…there is no such things as missing links.”

Dr. Austin H. ClarkBiologist, Smithsonian Institute

“Evolution is not an established theory but a tentative hypothesis....

It is not universally accepted.”

admitted by Thomas Huxley, who was one of the most vigorous supporter of Darwin

“The main purpose of Darwinism was to drive away

every last trace of an incredible God from biology.”

T. Rosazakin famous book “Unfinished Animal”

from Darwin himself

Hidden Truths

Darwin writes

“I am a firm believer that

without speculation there is no good

and original observation.”

in a letter to A. R. Wallace (Dec.22 1857)

Darwin writes

“You will be greatly disappointed. It

(forthcoming book) will be grievously too hypothetical.”

in a letter, regarding the concluding chapters of ‘The Origin of the Species’ (1858)

Darwin confesses

“Not one change of species into another

is on record...we cannot prove that a single species has

changed.”

Bombardier Beetle

half inch

Marvel of God

“Its defense system is extraordinarily intricate, a cross between tear gas and

a tommy gun.”

Time Magazine reported on February 25, 1985

“The bombardier beetle does appear to be unique in

the animal kingdom.”

“It generates a noxious spray which explodes

from its body at a boiling 100° C.”

Time Magazine reported on February 25, 1985

Hydrogen Peroxide & HydroquinonesEnzymes

Chamber 1 Chamber 2

How did Bombardier evolve this system?

How does it prevent its own destruction from explosion?

Problem No.1

SolutionIt prevent this with the help of

an Inhibitor, which prevents the explosive chemical reactions

from taking place.

Then, how does it generate the explosion?

When an anti-inhibitor is added to the other chemicals, an explosive reaction occurs and the beetle is

able to defend itself.

How did Bombardier evolve this system?

Problem No.2

Solution

It has the necessary equipment, including twin-tail tubes to

“exhaust”. These tubes can be aimed at enemies in a 180 arc.

It must have a tough “combustion chamber” with an

outlet to release the energy.

How did Bombardier evolve this system?

Problem No.3

Solution

Duane Gish, Ph.D.

Is creation of beetle an example of the “impersonal,

plus time, plus chance”

or is it an example of a special, intricate creation by

God who is intimately involved with His creatures?

The beginning of a long line of

evolutionary progress!...

Squirrel wants to evolve wings so as to fly and catch its food.

Suppose, squirrel is on the brink of

starvation due to overpopulation

It notices a flying insect!

Stephen J. Gould, a leading evolutionist

“The idea that an arm could evolve into a

wing is absurd.”

Moving headup and down

causes dizziness.

This dizziness is caused by a change in blood pressure in the

head.

Giraffe’s neck is 2.5

meters long

Giraffe moves its neck up

and down very fast.

Special valves in neck, control the blood flow to brain.

Elastic blood vessels in the giraffe's head allow harboring of enough blood to prevent the giraffe from passing out when bent in this position.

If evolution of this valve is true

then...

…lets take a look at a pre-historic event

He feels thirsty!!!!

He hopes for evolution of valves!!

and develops an headache while bending down.

Oh!!! better luck next time.

Outcome….

“The Darwinian theory is not the result of scientific

research, but purely the product of imagination.”

Dr. Fleischman, an Erlangen Zoologist

How simple is a single cell organism?

1979Evolutionists said

Mycoplasma genitalium were of “special evolutionary interest

because of theirextremely simple cell structure.”

During 80s and early 90s,

extensive research was carried

out on Mycoplasma genitalium

1996Microbiologists decided

“Mycoplasma genitalium can no longer be thought of as simple

organisms.”

Escherichia Coli (E-coli)

Simple form of life

“transport system”

Annual Review of MicrobiologyYear 2000 edition

“regulation system”

discusses its various complex cellular

processes like …….

“The theory of evolution suffers from grave defects, which are

becoming more and more apparent as time advances.”

Albert Fleishman,Professor of Comparative Anatomy,

Earlangan University

How simple is a single cell ?

Once thought to be a simple bag of chemicals,

the cell is now understood to be an elaborate system of molecular machinery that surpasses a modern

city in complexity.

Number of cells in a Human body

100,000,000,000,000(One hundred trillion)

IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY

“Irreducibly complex system mean a single system composed of several

well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to

effectively cease functioning.”

Michael Behe, Biochemist,

Lehigh University

It requires over 50 different protein parts for operation.

Bacterial Flagellum at work

DNA Gyrase

Palmitic Acid

“If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which

could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.”

Charles Darwin

Mutations

“Good ones (Mutations) are so rare that we can consider them

ALL BAD.”

Dr. H.J. Muller, who won the Nobel prize for his work on mutations

Mutations

Inferior Changes

“To improve a living organism

by random mutation is like

saying you could improve a Swiss watch by dropping it and bending one of its wheels or axis.”

Albert Szent-Gyorgi, Nobel Laureate (Medicine)

Plant Breeding

“There are natural limits to the degree that

an organism can be modified by

breeding”

Luther Burbankan American Botanist

“Evolution of the species means constant and steady

increase in order and complexity -- the Amoeba to

Man idea. The second law says no such thing can occur

spontaneously.”Lord Kelvin, Father of Thermodynamics

“Overwhelming strong proofs of intelligent and

benevolent design lie around us. The atheistic idea is so

nonsensical that I cannot put it into words.”

Lord Kelvin, Father of Thermodynamics

“Evolutionism is a fairy tale for grown-ups.”
