This is Volume 1 of 2. The world view of naturalism or materialism posits that no supernatural or transcendent realm exists above the material objects and physical forces in the cosmos. Thus the universe is a closed system, self-originating and self-developing. This world view has real-world implications, i.e. it suggests certain hypotheses which can be tested with the ordinary scientific method, and these several hypotheses together constitute a scientific model which is commonly known as the theory of evolution. Analogously, creationism is integral with the world view of supernaturalism or theism which posits that the universe obtains its origin and characteristics from a living transcendent Being with the power of creation, and with attributes of wisdom and personality. This world view has scientific implications, as does the evolutionary postulate that no such Creator exists, and these scientific implications constitute a model commonly called scientific creationism. This book outlines and contrasts the model of the theory of evolution with the model of scientific creationism. It is beyond the scope of this book to discuss technical details, such as the various nuclear transformations involved in radiometric dating, or how a cell works. This is not a textbook of physics, biology, astronomy or anthropology. It is a logical analysis of the concepts, propositions and assumptions which comprise the models of evolution and creationism. The book’s purpose is to enable the reader to critically evaluate, in light of the principles of science and philosophy, the issues being debated. Evolutionists have for over a century been looking for proof of their faith. Since no such proof exists, they are becoming increasingly frustrated and occasionally make their frustrations known. Enough such candid confessions, frustrated or dissatisfied remarks, and outright rebellions exist that a point-by-point refutation of the theory of evolution, encompassing all of the disciplines of science, can be documented with quotations from the professional literature. That is the purpose of this book. At this point it must be emphasized that the scientists quoted in this book are not creationists. Only those who believe (notice that verb) in evolution are quoted, thus eliminating any complaint of biased sources. The thesis of this book is that evolutionists themselves cannot find proof for their own theory, and are secretly (or not so secretly) dissatisfied with it in every way. I realize that no one will be persuaded by anything I say, and skeptical comments by a half-dozen or so scientists might be dismissed by an ardent evolutionist, but the cumulative effect of over seven hundred authoritative scientists, each quoted in this book pointing out serious problems with the theory of evolution, cannot be ignored and must be reckoned with by any responsible student or scholar. So the bulk of this book consists of these heretical quotations. To help explain their import, they are put in some context, i.e. they are arranged according to subject, and each subject is introduced with an outline of the key issues involved and enough accompanying information so that the significance of the quotations will be made clear. So for example if a zoologist says “all the species are separated by gaps,” the reader will understand that this is not a trivial observation but a substantive refutation of evolutionary theory. Although the author is a Christian, and subscribes to the literal interpretation of Genesis chapters One and Two, this is not a book about Christianity or the Bible. No Scriptures are quoted.
