Scientific Considerations:
1) "Science was founded and largely developed by creationists who opposed the forms of evolution current in their times." "The founding fathers of our country and all of our first schools were also creationist in belief."(ii)
2) "There are thousands of creationist scientists today. There are over 1000 scientists with post-graduate science degrees, who are or have been members of the Creation Research Science Society alone."(iii)
3) "Evolution is unscientific by virtue of the fact that no one has ever observed it in action, or knows how it is accomplished." "Colin Patterson, leading evolutionist at the British Museum, has acknowledged that "no one has ever produced a species by mechanisms of natural selection" (BBC Interview, March 4, 1982)." "Keith Thomson, Professor of Biology and Dean of the Graduate School at Yale, laments that "speciation itself" is still 130 years after Darwin supposedly solved the problem, "the central mystery" of evolutionary biology (American Scientist, 1982, p. 529)." (iii)
4) "Out of the billions of fossils in the rocks of the earth, not one true transitional form, with transitional structures (e.g., half-developed hearts, scales beoming feathers) has ever been found. A top paleontologist, James Valentine, of U.C. Santa Barbara, has recently said: "If ever we were to expect to find ancestors to or intermediates between higher taxa, it would be in the rocks of late Precambrian or Ordovician times, when the bulk of the world's higher animal taxa evolved. Yet traditional alliances are unknown or unconfirmed for any of the phyla or classes appearing then (Developing as An Evolutionary Process, Alan Lias Inc., 1987, p. 84)" (iii)
5)"The reason why no evidence of evolution is ever seen either in the processes of the present or the records of the past is evidently because genuine vertically upward evolution is impossible. Natural processes cannot generate more complex organisms from simpler ones, unless the latter have been pre-programmed to do this (as in the genetic code, which directs an embryo upward to adulthood). Evolution has no such code, proceeding only by time and chance, nor does it have any mechanism to convert the sun's energy (on which alone it must draw) into upward evolutionary transmutation of either an individual species or the whole biosphere. Without such a program or energy conversion mechanism, the universal law of increasing entropy (which has never been observed to fail) specifies a net ultimate decay in any system, whether open or closed." (iii)
6)The old "evidences" (old even in Darwin's day) for evolution, such as vestigial organs and embryonic recaptulation, have long been utteryly discredited. Gould has recently acknowledged that such things as similarities and adaptations are at least as strong support for common design as for common ancestry. He says, in fact, that the main evidence now for evolution lies in such "imperfections" as the panda's thumb (Natural History, January 1987, p. 14). Even if valid, however, this is poor evidence, illustrating only the decay principle in nature, rather than any upward evolution." (iv)
7) "The stability of present taxa, with gaps between them, the ubiquitous absense of transitional fossils, the law of increasing entropy, the similarites of structures for simliar functions in different creatures- all are direct predictions from the creation model of origins. The evidences all fit creation!" (iv)
