45. The Scientific Case for Evolution Has Never Been Proved!
So Why Do the Public Schools Teach It As If It Were a Fact?
A. What the theory of evolution proposes
1. In some ancient puddle, lake or ocean, life began when chance chemical reactions produced the first single-celled organism, some kind of self-reproducing bacterium.
2. These bacteria were able to reproduce themselves by cell division, but with occasional very slight changes from generation to generation.
3. Very gradually, very slowly, this process of change was able to "create" new complex biological designs.
4. In some 3 billion years the original organisms were able to change step-by-step as follows:
single cell
many-celled worm without a backbone
worm with a backbone
fish
amphibian
reptile with scales
mammal with hair
ape
university professor
5. This process obviously had to "create," one after the other, thousands of new, complex designs, in order to change a bacterium into a university professor.
B. What is required to prove the evolution case to you and to me?
1. Show us thousands of series of fossils which prove that a slow process of evolution "created", one after the other, thousands of new complex biological designs. For example, there should be a series of fossils to show the slow, gradual evolution of a backbone. There should be a series of fossils to show the step-by-step evolution of reptile scales into bird feathers.
2. Devise an experimentally testable theory of genetics to explain how evolution "created" a backbone or changed reptile scales into bird feathers.
3. Discover the mechanisms of genetics and embryonic development which are able to "create" complex new biological designs.
4. Show us the evolution of complex new biological designs happening in nature today.
C. Have the requirements of Section B above been achieved by evolutionary science? NO!
1. The beginning of life has been neither explained theoretically nor demonstrated experimentally.1
2. Not even one sequence of fossils has been found which demonstrates that slow, gradual evolutionary change ever "created" a single new complex biological design.2,3,4
3. There is no experimentally testable theory to explain the "creation" of complex new biological designs by evolution.5
4. The required mechanisms of genetics and embryonic development which "create" new biological designs have not been discovered and demonstrated experimentally.6
5. The "creation" of complex new biological designs by evolution has not been observed in nature. All that is observed is limited variations of what already exists.

You left out "Bring us the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West South West."
They don't. But I have seen many a pretending Christian make that same lie.
