MAN AND THE APES.

HAVE WE LET THESE EVOLUTIONISTS MAKE A MONKEY OUT OF US?

IS MAN REALLY DESCENDED FROM THE APES?

WHAT DOES THE EVIDENCE SAY? WERE OUR ANCESTORS APE-MEN OR FULLY HUMAN?

FOSSIL RECORD OF APES TO HUMANS:

A tooth is found - a scientist believes it to be from that "missing link". Everyone gets excited. It's on national news. Atheists are interviewed on television and are asked what would the person be like to whom it belonged? One says it is from a male, about five and a half feet tall. Another expert is questioned who goes that bit further and claims it was a man who walked with a limp. Yet another says he had a stoop and was covered in hair. Another says the tooth shows he liked bacon and egg for breakfast and played the trumpet! Well, perhaps not that far but you get the picture. Artist's impressions abound showing family groups of hairy individuals walking with a stoop, carrying a blunt instrument and the female carrying a hairy baby (beware of artist's impressions!). Others look at these artist's impressions and claim they know what our ancestors looked like and the artist's impression proves it. Why are they so convinced? - Because they've seen other artist's impressions in another newspaper the week before!

After a few weeks it's discovered the tooth belongs to a pig! What happens then? Are all these "experts" wheeled out to admit how wrong they were? Certainly not - that's not news. Everything goes quiet. Red faces are buried in the sand looking for that missing link!

Am I correct? If you doubt it remember when a fossil of a once living creature was found on Mars? It hit the headlines and now anyone can tell you "they" have found signs that there was life there. The truth is it was found to be false, just a curly bit of stone.

MISSING LINKS are just that - MISSING! If evolutionists are correct there should be thousands upon thousands of missing links. Let's just get it straight right from the start - no missing links have ever been found. Now let's just look at some finds that were thought to be the missing links - just for amusement:

THE SOUTHERN APE: Doctor Donald Johanson said it was the missing link. She is often referred to as Lucy and was discovered in Africa in 1974. Actually he discovered only a knee joint but you could be forgiven for thinking her whole body was discovered and when she was uncovered she said; "Hi, I'm Lucy". Well, actually to say it was a knee joint is an exaggeration. When pressed[35] Doctor Johanson admitted this vital part of the fossil was found 1.5 miles away from, and 200 feet lower in the rock strata than the other bones to which he tried to link it. Now most scientists admit Lucy was just another red herring.

RAMAPITHECUS was a well publicised early ancestor of man. It was identified from some jaws and teeth. Details are in "origins" page 67 and an artist's impression shows an ape like creature with a stoop, long arms, an apes head with a beard. This all from a piece of jaw bone and some teeth. Now we know it was just another ape[36].

1470 MAN was found by atheist Richard Leakey in 1972. It was in fact few fragments of a skull. An artist's impression drawn for the National Geographical Magazine portrays this as an ape-like woman. In the "Sunday Times" of the 12 November 1977 they go for a skinhead man with a big jaw. The "Observer" however, goes for a man with unruly hair and beard, looking rather like me when I get up in a morning! It is now not taken seriously.

NEBRASKA MAN starred in "The London Illustrated News" on the 22 June 1922 with a full page spread showing a half man - half ape and his mate with primitive looking horses and camels in the back ground. It's a well known illustration and often used today to tell us about our "ancestors". It had the caption; "EARLIEST MAN TRACKED DOWN." What was the evidence? One tooth! - That's all! Later they found it belonged to an old breed of pig - but that didn't make the news.

JAVA MAN was discovered in Java in 1891 by Eugene Dubois. First he discovered a giant Gibbon's[37] skull cap. Thirty years later he discovered a human leg bone, another apes skull cap and some teeth. He claimed all these belonged to the missing link and a whole man was modelled. It was published in "Origins" in 1977. More apes skulls have been found in the area and the skull of a woman. The truth is this means nothing.

CALAVERAS MAN was discovered in 1868 at Calaveras, California about 50 yards underground and was part of a human skull. It was pronounced genuine but you will not have heard of Calaveras Man because it was dated too old for the evolutionist's model at supposedly 3 to 7 million years ago. It was quietly forgotten. Sir Arthur Keith said[38]; "The only thing stopping us now from accepting it as genuine is that it was found in the wrong place." You will not have heard of Castenedolo Man or Olmo Man both found in the same strata in Italy and rejected for the same reason.

NEAR MAN was discovered by atheist Richard Leakey based on a few bits of skull. Nearby was found some primitive tools. Many artist's impressions have been drawn of Near Man and all are different. Now Leakey has changed his mind and says it's an apes skull.

COLORADO MAN : This was a tooth that turned out to be from a horse!

CRO-MAGNON MAN (Caveman) whose brain was larger than ours. He was a man who went into caves, not as evolutionist's say, came from caves.

PILTDOWN MAN, meaning "Dawson's Dawn Man" was discovered in 1908 at Barcombe Manor, Piltdown, Sussex. This is worth looking at in more detail. I also recommend you visit the site as part of your verification. Esme Geering tells us that workmen employed by Mr Kenward, the owner dug up a skull. Later Charles Dawson found the tooth of a hippopotamus, some flint tools and more pieces of skull. Then Sir Arthur Woodward of the British Museum and a French Priest, Teilhard de Chardin found an elephant's bone, a flint tool, more pieces of skull and half a jaw. The pieces of skull fitted together to make most of a human skull. The jaw was ape-like. The long canine tooth, more pointed in apes, were missing. Then the "missing" human tooth was found! They claimed it to be the missing link between ape and man. People came from around the world for over 40 years to see to the British Natural History Museum to see a facsimile until 1953 when it was found to be a forgery! The piece of jaw was from a modern orang-utan ape with the teeth filed to fit. Still at the end of the drive to Barcombe Manor remains the monument saying the skull of Piltdown Man was found there!

PEKING MAN (Nellie) again was constructed from an ape's tooth and jaw fragments. An ape's jaw was added and found some 80 feet higher. It disappeared during World War II and was found to have links with Piltdown Man.

NEANDERTHAL MAN is genuine and supports the Bible. He buried his dead and had some kind of faith. They painted pictures and manufactured tools. They were short and heavily built with ridges across their brows and many had large joints and larger brains than we have today. It is now accepted that they were modern man whose stoop was thought to have been caused by crippling arthritis and rickets due to lack of sun and vitamin D. This would have been caused by the post Biblical flood and ice age.

CASTENEDOLO SKULL, GALLEY HILL SKELETON, FOXHALL JAW and many others are all discoveries that have been discredited. Much of the preceding information has been taken from the studies of Malcolm Bowden[39] of CSM':

RHODESIAN MAN: Bill Cooper, B.A.(Hons), has written about this fraud telling us it was discovered in 1921 in Rhodesia in a limestone cave. They were a family but only one skull was found, that of an adult male and it was just the same as modern man. It was classified as "Homo Erectus", an imaginary species by anthropologists wanting to portray a half man - half ape missing link. Now, they admit they are fully man (Homo Sapiens). A report, "On the Origin of Races,"[40] says: "They are now proposing nothing less than the complete abolition of Homo Erectus on the grounds that the species is insufficiently distinct from Homo Sapiens. All fossil remains of Homo Erectus and archaic Homo Sapiens (including Neanderthals) should be re classified into a single species, Homo Sapiens, which is to be subdivided only into races." In other words Rhodian man was fully human!

So you see, if we have evolved from apes where is the evidence? We seem to have done it without leaving any! They carry on the search but it will be in vain because it doesn't exist. However, one thing is for sure, they won't give up!

THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE A MONKEY OUT OF US! Professor Martin Lubenow examined[41] all fossils relating to the evolution of man. He tells how experts are economical with the truth on such matters. He shows that these fossils are just modern human remains. One fossil from Kenya said to be over 4 million years old is identical to modern man and the experts know this. He says dates are false and that these "ancestors" lived at the same time as modern man. Finally, he says evolution could not have taken place. As far as I know Professor Lubenow is not a Christian.

Anthropologist Mary Leakey in 1978 found a man's footprint preserved in hardened volcanic ash together with footprints of modern giraffes, guinea-fowl, ostriches, elephants and hares. She dated these at 3.6 million years. Yet evolutionary theory states man did not appear until 2.5 million years ago - so there was a problem. She decided the creatures that left the prints were ape-men. Now that's bending the truth. She used radiometric dating which, as we have seen, can be wildly inaccurate. The National Graphic magazine[42] produced an artist's impression of this imaginary scene showing an ape-man and his mate, both with human feet and leaving a trail of footprints. She was carrying a baby! In the picture were modern looking giraffes, guinea-fowl etc. You see it's imagination. What did the evidence tell us: Simply that a human had walked that way and left footprints - that's all!

T. H. Huxley said; "The primary and direct evidence in favour of evolution can be furnished only by paleontology." (Study of fossils) As there isn't any evidence evolution can only be false!

ANY MARKETING MANAGER will tell you of the five rights of marketing: The right product in the right place at the right time at the right profit for the right price.

Now we have the five wrongs of the fossil hunters: The wrong fossil in the wrong place at the wrong time making the wrong contribution amounting to the wrong conclusion.

Back to our atlas and we'll see various strata in which hard factual evidence has been found of fossils in the wrong place in that fairyland time scale of the evolutionists.

Once again evolution theory is shattered! I could yet again rest my case!

A LOOK AT MIOCENE MAN (actually a woman). W. R Cooper B.A.(Hons). has made a study of her and I relate here what he has to say.

The Miocene stratum, as we have seen, is claimed to be 26-45 million years ago yet in it was found a skeleton of a modern human. This is impossible if evolution is true. Either the time scale of the geological column is wrong or man evolved before his own ancestors. It's got to be one or the other.

The skeleton lies in the basement of the British Museum of Natural History and is embedded in a large block of limestone whilst it was still fluid but now is harder than your marble fireplace. It was found in the lower Miocene deposits of Grand Terre in the Carribean island of Guadeloupe.

She was a woman standing about 5 feet, 2 inches tall. A sudden catastrophic event killed her. She is fully human, not ape-like in appearance. There is a high organic content in the surrounding rock and the position of the bones suggest the method of death. Her body had not decayed when buried in the sediment. The bones are therefore the same age as the rock in which they were discovered. She therefore predates all her ancestors if the evolutionary model is followed. She was buried suddenly fitting the Biblical model. This can be determined by the extensive impact damage to the skeleton prior to decomposition.

Her left shin bone (tibia) was dislocated having been rotated some 90 degrees at the knee. Her left fore arm (radius) was fractured. Her left hip bone (illium) had been pulled from her pelvis. The right side of her rib cage now lies above the left upper arm bone (humerus). Her breast bone (sternum) lies underneath. Her spinal column was dislocated from her pelvis on impact, the back of her pelvis (sacrum) descended into the rock at about 45 degrees. This impact damage can only be consistent with a flood, a tidal wave causing a mass of fluid at or just prior to burial.

This find is an embarrassment to evolutionists. It was presented to the museum in 1812 and was displayed there as a curiosity for years until Darwin's theory became known, after which it was removed from display and hidden in the basement. It was viewed by someone in the 1930s and then by Bill Cooper within the last 10 years. The last time there was an acknowledgement of human remains found in this stratum was in 1901.

Bill Cooper says other human fossils have been found in the area from the same stratum but have not survived - I wonder why?

Again we see that the evidence of these lower Miocene human remains contradict the theory of Darwinian evolution. They show quite clearly that humans did not descend from apes.

THIS EVIDENCE SUPPORTS CREATION AND WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS - THAT THE EARTH WAS CREATED A FEW THOUSAND YEARS AGO AND THERE WAS A WORLD WIDE FLOOD. THESE REMAINS ARE EXACTLY WHERE THEY SHOULD BE IF THE BIBLE IS CORRECT!

THESE HUMAN REMAINS ARE FULLY HUMAN! - REMAINS OF APES ARE FULLY APES! The evidence supports catastrophism not gradualism - and that's a fact!

THE PG FACTOR:

We all watch the chimps on television having their party and laugh at the contrived world created by my former marketeer colleagues. Much as I like PG Tips, we must not take this too seriously. They may look like humans but the truth is there is an unbridgeable chasm between humans and apes. Chimps can never speak. They lack the area in their brain used in human speech. They lack the fine control of their diaphragm and other muscles needed for speech according to the "New Scientist" 20 January 1996. Some have even claimed they can communicate with chimps verbally or with sign language. They would come far behind the German Shepherd Dog that we used to have.

She was very intelligent for an animal. We marvelled at how she would observe us and know in advance what we were about to do. She seemed always to be ahead of us. She could sniff at my trousers and know what we were about to do! When I said "Here", she came. When I said "Get away", she went away. When I said "Lie down", she did so. She even had a way of asking for a drink of water if her bowl was dry. I could even tell her to do her toilet before we went on a journey, for example, and she would do what was necessary. Why did she do these things? It wasn't because she knew her bladder would be too small to cope with the journey, was it? She had learned that a certain sound coming from my mouth meant she had to do a certain thing. It was a combination of my tenacity and her willingness to please. We communicated very well - BUT:

I could not reason with her. I could command her to stay by me rather than run out into the road in front of a car but I could not explain to her why she should not do that. This isn't because she did not speak my language but because she cannot reason. I could explain to another human very quickly, even if they could not speak English, and they would quickly reason what I was saying even if this was the first time they had seen a car. Dogs, chimps nor any other animal, cannot reason or talk. They have no power of abstract thought. She, like the apes, had no self awareness. She did not ponder the purpose of life. She could not rationalise whether truth is contained in creation or evolution. She did not sit and admire the beautiful views from our house. I never saw her admiring local scenery or gazing at a beautiful flower. She never prayed to God or wondered if there was life after death.

A former neighbour in rural North Wales had a fully grown pig as a pet. She used to take it for walks and it would come when she called it. It would also lie down at her command if a car approached. When she (the pig) had a litter they all came for a walk as well (and they said the English are eccentric!). Pigs are very intelligent, second only to some dogs. They have many genetic similarities to humans. This does not mean we have evolved from pigs, dogs or apes. It just means they were created clever that's all!

Humans vary greatly. Some are 4 feet tall, some 7 feet. Some are black, some white, some yellow. Facial features vary greatly and some have a brain size two and a half times greater than others. Yet two people from different ends of the earth have genes nearly identical to one another. They are much, much closer that two gorillas from the same forest.

Evolutionists will tel you there is only a 2% difference between the DNA of men and chimps - what they will not tell you is that that 2% is an unbridgeable chasm. Something else they won't tell you is that there is a lot of evidence to show all humans descended from the same man and woman.

EVOLUTIONARY MYTHS:

The late Professor Verna Wright, M.D., F.R.C.P., who was Professor of Rheumatology at Leeds University, Co-Director of the Bioengineering Group for the study of Human Joints and President of the Creation Science Movement said "There is cause for grave concern." He was giving a lecture I attended at Leeds University many years ago now. He expressed his concerns about evolutionary myths that continue to be perpetuated in textbooks. He gave an example; that the reason we suffer from back problems is because of our upright posture. He said; "That is rubbish." He said many animals suffer from slipped discs.

VESTIGIAL ORGANS is a myth, he says. There is a common belief that the human body has tissues and organs for which there are no known function. He says that is rubbish too - just a myth. We're told they demonstrate our primitive origins. This used to be used as proof of evolution but has now been dropped. There was once thought to be some 180 vestigial organs, left overs from our animal ancestry with no useful function. He says this is pure fiction.

The THYMUS is a shrivelled organ in the adult situated in the chest above the heart but it is vital in early life to stamping knowledge of self as opposed to foreign tissue on the immune system. Professor Wright said that to understand the function of the thymus gland has probably been the greatest advance in medicine during the last 20 years! The MENISCI (cartilage) in the knee have been described as vestigial yet once removed would stand a greater risk of developing osteoarthritis of the knee in later years. The APPENDIX and TONSILS were often cited as vestigial structures too as their function was unknown but now they know better.

THERE IS SIMPLY NO EVIDENCE THAT MAN EVOLVED FROM ANYTHING LET ALONE FROM APES. There isn't any evidence that apes evolved from ANYTHING either. Indeed there isn't any evidence that ANYTHING evolved from ANYTHING! Atheist Doctor Lyall Watson says;[43] "Modern apes, for instance, seem to have sprung out of nowhere. They have no yesterday, no fossil record. And the true origin of modern humans - of upright, naked, tool-making, big-brained beings - is, if we are honest with ourselves, an equally mysterious matter." Well at least he's being honest! What a good example to other atheists!

The journal "Nature" had an article entitled; "The Origin and Evolution of Genus Homo." (27-2-92 p783) in which it recommends a radical reappraisal: "Advances in techniques for absolute dating and reassessment of fossils themselves have rendered untenable a simple unilineal model of human evolution, in which Homo Habilis succeeded the australopithecines and then evolved via Homo Erectus into Homo Sapiens - but no clear alternative consensus yet appeared." In other words there's no evidence of evolution from apes to man but the search goes on - why?

Atheist and anthropologist, Sir Arthur Keith gives us a clue: "Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it because the only alternative is special creation and that is unthinkable." Well, well!

IT TAKES MORE FAITH TO BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION THAN TO BELIEVE IN GOD.

WATCH OUR LANGUAGE!

This will not just apply to language but to other learning skills. What can language tell us about the origins of man? Quite a lot. Research has been published in "Science" (13-12-96) showing 8 month old babies are capable of tracking the probability of sound. It shows that babies possess an innate knowledge of statistics. This seems to suggest that the massive amount of experience gathered by infants in their first year plays a far greater part in their development than was previously thought. A baby's brain is designed, manufactured and then programmed with information which can only come from an intelligent source. It could not happen by chance. It couldn't evolve.

It was reported in the Sunday Telegraph on the 15th December 1996 that Professor Igor Aleksander of Imperial College , London had unveiled "Magnus", an artificial brain they had created. It is a computer programmed to recognise patterns. It was different from other computers in that instead of simply being programmed to solve problems it was programmed the learn by example - just like a baby. It was crude compared to a baby's brain having only a small neural network compared to a baby's 100,000,000,000 neurons connected at 100,000,000,000,000 synapses. The newspaper called the Professor it's creator. Of course he's the creator. Only a fool would claim "Magnus" had evolved by chance!

YET THOSE SAME PEOPLE WILL CLAIM OUR BRAINS, HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF TIMES MORE COMPLEX, EVOLVED BY CHANCE!

Chris Winter of the BT research team claims in "New Scientist" that for the human brain to transmit signals more quickly, the nerve axons would need to be wider. This would require more insulation and greater blood supply, which would take up more space in the brain cavity so limiting the number of brain cells. He says, "There is no incremental improvement path available to the brain, which makes evolution difficult." Impulses are passed at synapses using chemicals. He says if the brain was larger, the chemicals would not pass across the gaps between cells as efficiently or as quickly as now.

So the BT team have worked out that the human brain could not have evolved - nor can it further!

DID LANGUAGE EVOLVE? Evolutionists say yes and claim that the characteristic properties of human language can be found in animals. There are 16 of them but although some animals have some, none have all of them, only man. Animals lack the ability to imitate sounds. Experiments with chimps show they can't. Birds have great abilities in imitating sound. If evolution is correct why is it not birds that have evolved language?

When I was a boy about 12 years old I had a pet Raven that had flown down to a friend of my fathers in Surrey. When we visited them he gave me it and I brought it back home to Yorkshire. It became very tame and used to sit on my shoulder, ride on my bicycle handle bars, follow me to school on the roof tops, I was the envy of all my friends. It lived in the shed in our garden and could come and go freely as it chose. I had it for many years until I was 15 years old. It's favourite trick was to pull the pegs from the washing line which meant I was not favourite amongst some hard working mothers. If windows were left open it would go in and "steal" jewellery. If things went missing, it's nest was the first place to look.

It was a remarkable bird in many ways, particularly as it quickly learned to talk. It could here my father calling me to get up in a morning. He used to shout "Bryce, come on, time to get up." Or, "Bryce, come on, get up." Finally with a some exasperation he would shout; "Bryce, I won't tell you again, get up." I remember these words clearly, not because of my father but because of the Raven which came to shout these words every morning at dawn in that order over and over again! It was able to say many other things but it was not talking of course - just imitating sounds. Some birds have great ability to imitate sounds and according to evolutionists it is they who should have evolved speech and now be speaking quite intelligently to each other discussing where the biggest, juiciest worms are to be found. However, they remain as they were created to sing for us.

There is an unbridgeable gap between animal and human communication. There is simply no evidence, no knowledge of a relationship between the lower and higher stages of communication. Statements are made by evolutionists that language evolved from these lower stages where vocal gestures were made to express emotion and that these evolved into basic language when they were supposedly able to express thoughts. There is no evidence to support this theory of the development of language. Humans alone are endowed with the ability to acquire language.

Professor Avram Noam Chomsky, a international linguistic authority and an atheist tells us that; "As far as we know, possession of human language is associated with a specific type of mental organisation, not simply a higher degree of intelligence. There seems to be no substance to the view that human language is simply a more complex instance of something to be found elsewhere in the animal world." In other words the claim that chimpanzees' abilities in this respect are similar to those of a human baby are nonsense. There are great differences in the processes involved. Language and intelligence appear to be related but they're separate abilities. Language could not have evolved whatever the intelligence.

Doctor Clifford Wilson, a distinguished Australian psycholinguist concludes from years of research; "...Language is a unique system available to all human beings, in all races across the globe, Throughout man's history."

Professor Chomsky says it's a compete mystery how the human mind has reached it's present complex state and innate organisation. Speaking of human's ability to acquire language he says; "It is perfectly safe to attribute this to evolution, so long as we bear in mind that there is no substance to this assertion."(!) Well, well! You've got to be determined to "prove" evolution to make a statement like that, haven't you?

Why not put it in plain language? LANGUAGE CANNOT HAVE EVOLVED BECAUSE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THAT IT DID!

In this section about man and apes we have seen so far that:

The fossil record does not support the evolution of man.

The "missing links" and still missing!

Evolutionists bend the evidence to fit their theory.

Human remains have been found in the "wrong" place, disproving evolution.

"Lucy" was killed in a flood type of catastrophe.

There is a great chasm between man and apes.

We have been told by experts that vestigial organs are not useless.

WORLD POPULATION GROWTH AND THE AGE OF MAN.

This is taken partly from a study by Paul Nicholls, B.Sc. (Hons.)[44], geneticist and evolutionist Professor Steve Jones[45], with whom I have corresponded, geneticist Professor Luigi Cavalli-Sforza[46], Naoyuki Takahata and Jan Klien[47]. All five agree that genetic studies of mitochondria show the worlds population has it's origin in the same woman, the Bible says this was Eve.

Another important point is that if evolutionists are correct then Homo Sapiens have been around for a million years or more. Paul Nicholls calculates that at only a modest rate of growth per annum of only 1% then saturation point would have been reached in less than 5,000 years. What about the remaining 995,000 years (at least)? Was that no growth at all? I think not. What also about those millions and millions of men and women who would have lived and died during this time? Where are their remains? Their tools and building are nowhere to be found. Has man only recently learned to build houses for himself and grow food and make tools - after 995,000 years? This is beyond all reason!

Can population growth tell us anything? The UK population in our over crowded country has been static for years. The last statistic I saw before I retired was 55,711,932 and that had changed little since the 1960s. This is mainly to be due to contraception but abortion and life style also play a part. However, Paul Nicholls tells us that since 1801 the population growth of Great Britain ranged from 0.43% to 1.64% per annum. To express it another way; the population of this country in 1801 was 10,500,956 and in 1991 it was 54,156,067 (excludes Northern Ireland) an average yearly increase of 0.87%. He says the average growth of population in Germany over a period of 154 years was 0.81%. World population figures are harder to ascertain but between 1985 and 1990 the increase was 1.7% to 5,385,000,000. In the ancient world of Israel whilst in Egypt the increase was 2.13% per annum. Western European increases range from 0.4% to 0.9% whilst in Africa it is as high as 3%. For example Germany's population of 0.81% per annum from a standing start of 2 people, the 1970 population of 77,068,000 would have been reached in a little over 2100 years!

The Bible says that around 2,470 BC, 4,469 years ago, 8 people survived the flood of Noah to repopulate the world. To arrive at today's world population Paul Nicholls takes the British minimum and maximum figures. A 0.43% increase gives a time span 4,738 years and a 0.87% gives only 2,347 years Compare this with evolution theory: The lowest growth rate for Western Europe is 0.377% and apply that growth rate to only 50,000 years of the evolutionists time scale we get a world population of 10 to the power of 82, a ridiculous figure! This figure is more than the estimated number of particles in the universe! 50,000 years in only a fraction of the time evolutionists claim man has been on the earth! The world's resources would long since have been used up.

You can see that a modest 0.43% increase since the flood of Noah's time gives us a time span of 4,738 years. The Bible says it is 4,469 years since the flood. This is within 269 years.

YET AGAIN WE CAN SEE THAT THE BIBLE IS CORRECT. WORLD POPULATION STATISTICS TELL US THAT HUMANS CANNOT HAVE INHABITED THE EARTH FOR MORE THAN A FEW THOUSAND YEARS AND CANNOT BE ANYTHING LIKE EVEN 50,000 YEARS LET ALONE A MILLION!

ANCIENT GENEALOGIES CONFIRM THE BIBLE TO BE CORRECT.

I can trace my ancestors back to Adam and Eve over 131 generations and even covering between 1 and 4 lines. How can this be? - I hear you cry! Actually it's not that difficult with the help of Bill Cooper (more later). If you have been conditioned about evolution then it may seem quite ridiculous but again, I have the evidence on my side. It is even possible for you to verify it.

This can be traced through my mothers family, the Calverts. The reason I have been able to trace my ancestors this far is because of family knowledge and then it goes back into the well established royal line. I am not going into any detail here so don't worry! Nevertheless the whole of the line is here at Castle O'er. Soon I hope to upload the whole genealogy onto this web site. For now I'm just going to give you the flavour.

Many of the Calvert family latterly were chemists. My great x 6 grandfather was the 5th Baron Calvert of Baltimore. My great x 10 Grandfather was the Rt. Hon. George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore who was proprietor and founder of the state of Maryland and after whom the city of Baltimore is named. Benedict Leonard, 4th Lord Calvert and my great x 7 grandfather married Lady Charlotte Lee, daughter of the Earl of Lichfield and granddaughter of King Charles II. This can be confirmed at Kiplin Hall, Richmond, Yorkshire.

The genealogies of the kings of England and Scotland are well known and I don't intend to relay them here. They include one line through the kings of England and back through the Saxons to Gerdic, Woden and Japheth son of Noah. This line has some generations missing. It is unlikely other lines do not have generations missing (although one can never be certain) and go back through the Scottish kings. My great x 11 grandfather was King James I of England, who was James VI of Scotland. The Stuarts were of course, Scottish monarchs therefore the line goes back through his mother, Mary Queen of Scots and the Scottish kings. It goes back through Malcolm Canmore, Fergus the Great, Conaire the Great to Fergus I. This line then splits and goes back through the Irish kings, Conn of the Hundred Battles to Enna. It goes way back through Eochaidh to Zalah, son of Judah, son of Jacob, grandson of Abraham. Another route goes back through Conaih the Great who was the great x 12 grandfather of Joseph, step father of Jesus Christ. This line of course goes back through Kings David and Solomon back to Judah again and so on. The rest is Biblical record.

PERHAPS YOU CAN DO IT! The biggest hurdle for you may be the first two or three hundred years. A great many genealogies will join established lines sooner or later - the rest is a matter of public record, no matter what evolutionists say.

I recommend you start by buying Bill Cooper's Book, "After the Flood" from New Wine Press, PO Box 17, Chichester PO20 6YB, UK, priced £7.99. (I'm not paid a commission - honest!) Bill explains about ancient genealogies and lists many public chronicles available to study - some of which I have. This book will give you a good sound start and you will see there is a well documented history in Britain before 55 BC.

Many can trace their ancestry back to Adam. There are many old manuscripts available to study. Don't forget many of these were written by people who had no knowledge of the Bible. The evidence is overwhelming that 131 generations ago my ancestor, Adam was created by God. He was not a half-breed monkey but fully man!

DID WE REALLY EVOLVE FROM APES?

Did all living things really evolve from a primeval soup millions of years ago? We have seen that the evidence does not support Darwin's theory. Yet in schools it is taught as fact. The fossil record does not support evolution. The "missing link" is still missing after 150 years of searching. We have seen that some evolutionists are less than honest with the evidence and some have actually fabricated it.

Evolution is just a theory - an idea without evidence to support it. It has been around for two and a half thousand years at least. Many believe it to be true but numbers don't matter - it is still only a belief. It concerns the distant past but it cannot be proved because no one was there when it "happened". Evolution does not take place today, in spite of the car advertisements! Dogs remain dogs - camels remain camels. It is impossible for us all to be here as a result of blind chance, scientifically or mathematically. A book cannot be written by chance by tapping a key board at random. Energy, matter and information are fundamental quantities[48]. A computer cannot be created by throwing all the parts up into the air and catching them - no matter how many times you do it. Neither could the universe be created that way. Indeed every time atheists postulate about the "big bang" they are proving there is a God!

Evolutionists tell us that because living things have a similar design, they originate from the same ancestors but it doesn't mean that at all - it just means it's a good design for all!

Many believe evolution took place because they've been told it happened that way. Few weigh the evidence for themselves. Those that do with an open mind find evidence supports special creation by a Creator.
