Fossil Fiction

Did you know that there is evidence that the things being taught in schools about fossil facts are actually fossil fiction?

AnswersInGenesis points out this week that a conference held in 1980 with the leading scientists at the time came to agree on some key issues:
Without giving creationists any credit, the world’s leading evolutionists at that Chicago conference at least agreed on the same assessment of the fossil evidence reached (and predicted) by creationists long ago. As the summary in Newsweek put it: Evidence from fossils now points overwhelmingly away from the classical Darwinism which most Americans learned in high school.

In building up to that monumental conclusion (which should be posted as a plaque in all the nation’s science classrooms), the writer starts with man: The missing link between man and the apes … is merely the most glamorous of a whole hierarchy of phantom creatures. In the fossil record, missing links are the rule. … The more scientists have searched for the transitional forms between species, the more they have been frustrated. [emphasis added]

The concept of evolution touted in textbooks, then, is based on phantoms and figments of the imagination, not on fossils and the facts of science.
Two scientists, Gould and Eldredge, have said that gradual evolution expressed the cultural and political biases of 19th century liberalism. There are no facts that are concrete in the theory of evolution. Every written in textbooks that says that evolution is popularly believed and accepted by scientist is not...entirely true.

If you are into science there is so much more to this article. Check it out for your self.

Ever hear of Kent Hovand? Anyways, he is amazing. Look him up on you tube and watch his stuff about disproving evolution. It will give you even better stuff to defend creation by disproving evolution and carbon dating.

There are no CONCRETE facts that a man named Jesus Christ was alive. Testimonies you would say from his "diciples" perhaps you've heard of a magician? Perhaps every miracle was staged to make the man look "holy". Place the skulls of paleolithic man next to each other and place creationism thoughts in the BACK OF YOUR MIND. Every christian is so busy trying to disproove everyone else they have no time to hush and think. Dont try to disproove others beliefs you cant fully understand and we wont criticize yours.
