2.        What is evolution ?

Evolution theory is a religious belief that fundamentally requires adherence to the religion of atheism and/or the religion of pantheism. “Evolution” is a hypothetical, unobserved process (without any known scientific mechanism) by which all things in the universe are said to have created themselves from nothing without needing the existence of a Creator. Evolution is a hypothetical process of onwards-and-upwards self-improvement where all things somehow create themselves and somehow increase their complexity of their own accord :

“Once in a while an evolutionist will say that any farmer who practices selective breeding is practising evolution. But as one farmer put it, ‘Mister, when I cross pigs, I get pigs. I don’t get dogs and cats and horses.’ ”

(Dr Gary Parker, PhD in biology, creationist scientist, biologist and palaeontologist, former university lecturer in evolution, Science Faculty Fellow of the US National Science Foundation, Creation Facts of Life, 1997 [9] )

“When someone asks if I believe in evolution, I’ll often say, ‘Why, yes, no, no, yes, no.’ The answer really depends on what the person means by evolution. In one sense, evolution means ‘change’. Do I believe in change ? Yes, indeed – I’ve got some in my pocket ! But change isn’t the real question, of course. Change is just as much a part of the creation model as the evolution model. The question is, what kind of change do we see : change only within kind (creation), or change also from one kind to others (evolution) ?”

(Dr Gary Parker, PhD in biology, creationist scientist, biologist and palaeontologist, former university lecturer in evolution, Science Faculty Fellow of the US National Science Foundation, Creation Facts of Life, 1997 [10] )

By one of the foundational laws of logic (the “law of excluded middle”) we know that either things were made or they were not made. Logically, there is no third alternative. If they were made, they were made by someone or something – this is the concept of creation. If they were not made by someone or something, they must have made themselves – this is the concept of evolution :

“Creation and evolution, between them, exhaust the possible explanations for the origin of living things. Organisms either appeared on the earth fully developed or not. … If they did appear in a fully developed state, they must have been created by some omnipotent intelligence.”

(Douglas Futuyma, evolutionist and biologist, Science on Trial, 1983 [11] )
