(Life Sciences): THE THEORY OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION IS INVALID. A. EVOLUTION HAS NEVER BEEN OBSERVED. (See 1-13.) B. ALL ARGUMENTS FOR EVOLUTION ARE OUTDATED, ILLOGICAL, OR WISHFUL THINKING. 14. It is illogical to maintain that similarities between different species imply a genealogical relationship [a]; they may imply a common Designer. a) ''. . . it is unscientific to maintain that morphology may be used to prove relationships and evolution of the higher categories of units, . . . .'' [N. Heribert Nilsson, (Lund University), SYNTHETISCHE ARTBILDUNG (Lund Sweden: Verlag CWK Gleerup, 1953), p. 1186.] 15. The existence of human organs whose function is unknown does not imply that they are vestiges of organs from our evolutionary ancestors. In fact, as medical knowledge has increased, the functions of all of these organs have been discovered [a]. The widespread absence of vestigial organs implies that evolution never happened. a) Jerry Bergman, ''Vestigial Organs: Putative Evidence for Evolution of Homo Sapiens'' (Unpublished Manuscript, 1306 North Orleans Ave., Bowling Green, Ohio 43402: 137 pages, 1984). 16. There are many single cell forms of life, but there are no forms of animal life with 2, 3,..., or even 20 cells [a,b]. If organic evolution happened, these forms of life should exist in great abundance. None do. The evolutionary tree has no trunk [c]. a) E. Lendell Cockrum and William J. McCauley, ZOOLOGY (W. B. Saunders Company, 1965), p. 163. b) Lynn Margulis and Karlene V. Schwartz, FIVE KINGDOMS: AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO THE PHYLA OF LIFE ON EARTH (San Francisco: W.H. Freeman and Company, 1982), pp. 178-179. c) Actually, the form of life that has just over 20 cells is a very simple PARASITE called the mesozoa. It must have a complex animal as a host in order to provide it with such functions as digestion and respiration. The mesozoa could not be the evolutionary predecessors of any so called higher animals since it requires a higher animal as its host. Sponges, the next most complex form of multicellular life, are so different from higher forms of life that even evolutionists do not consider them as ancestral to anything.
