r. Melander's letter regarding his faith in science as truth should probably result in him being awarded a lifetime subscription to NationalGeographic. However, let's look at some of the scientific truths that turned out to be anything but.
Archaeoraptor, the new missing link featured in NationalGeographic, later turned out to be a skeleton of different species of birds and dinosaurs struck together by man.
The following were all hoaxes: Java Man (1891), Piltdown Man (1912), Nebraska Man (1922), Peking Man (1926), Neanderthal Man (1929).
The following quote is from evolutionist D. Watson: "The theory of evolution is universally accepted not because it can be proven, but because the only alternative is special creation (by God), which is clearly incredible."
The explosion of Mount St. Helens left sediment layers that look just like the geologic sediments that evolutionists said took millions of years to form.
---ADVERTISEMENT---
Darwin expected that millions of transitional fossils would be found - animals changing into other animals, but they have never found one.
Living snails were dated by the Carbon 14 methods and said to be 2,300 years old.
Hawaiian lava only a few years old was dated by the potassium-argon method, which calculated their age to be 3 billion years old.
Conversely, a creationist view of the universe has not only never been disproved or found to be a hoax but rather continues to garner evidence that supports it. Do not dismiss the Bible in lieu of unproven theories that have been shoved down your throat since grade school.
Think about it. Does the human body with the brain and all its amazing functions scream intelligent design or random chance?
