The Cross of Freedom

The fossil record was originally believed to prove gradual evolution.  Science now states that it proves just the opposite - that gradual evolution did not occur.  For two reasons - there is no evidence of evolution across species, and it has been shown that life appeared on earth as soon as earth could support it, therefore there hasn't been enough time for gradual evolution to have occurred.

British astromoner Fred Hoyle once said that a single-celled organism emerging from random chemical reactions is as likely as the assembling of a 747 by a tornado whirling through a junkyard.  And he was referring to any length of time - even the entire lifespan of the universe.  Most scientists now agree with him.  As a matter of fact, this is so well accepted in scientific circles that scientific journals of any importance will no longer publish any articles based on the notion that life originated through random chemical reactions.

Even with all that science has revealed in recent times, and with hundreds of scientists dismissing gradual evolution, there are still those who continue to clasp onto Darwin's fairy tale like a child with a favorite toy and refuse to look at the evidence.  We still refuse to teach anything other than Darwin to our children and this is a mistake.  Darwin himself realized that there was not only no proof for this theory of gradual evolution, but that there wasn't even a single shred of evidence - and made this clear when he published his theory.  He expected the evidence to eventually appear - it never has.  He published when he did because another scientist named Alfred Russel Wallace was doing similar research and both men were writing on the subject at the time.

I, like many, respect Darwin's work (and Wallace's, for that matter).  It's clear that species evolve within themselves to adapt to their environment.  But the notion of man evolving gradually from single-celled life has been relegated to the status of a child's bed-time story.  Isn't it time we finally grow up and look at scientific work that was performed in a more recent century and has evidence to support it?
