     THE SCIENTIFIC CASE FOR CREATION: 116 CATEGORIES OF EVIDENCE

I.  (Life Sciences): THE THEORY OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION IS INVALID.

    A.  EVOLUTION HAS NEVER BEEN OBSERVED.

                                      ...


       10.  All  species  appear   perfectly   developed,   not   half
            developed.  They show design [a]. There are no examples of
            half-developed feathers, eyes [b], skin, tubes  (arteries,
            veins,  intestines,  etc.),  or  any of thousands of other
            vital organs. For example, if a limb were to evolve into a
            wing,  it  would become a bad limb long before it became a
            good wing.

            a)  William  Paley,  NATURAL  THEOLOGY,  1802   (reprinted
                Houston TX:  St.Thomas Press, 1972).
            b)  ''To suppose that the  eye  with  all  its  inimitable
                contrivances  for  adjusting  the  focus  to different
                distances, for admitting different amounts  of  light,
                and  for  the  correction  of  spherical and chromatic
                aberration,  could  have  been   formed   by   natural
                selection,  seems,  I  freely  confess,  absurd in the
                highest  degree.''  [Charles  Darwin,  THE  ORIGIN  OF
                SPECIES (The Macmillan Company, 1927), p. 175.]

       11.  No verified form of extraterrestrial life of any kind  has
            ever been observed.

       12.  If languages evolved, the earliest languages should be the
            simplest.   On  the contrary, language studies reveal that
            the more ancient the language  (for  example,  Latin,  200
            B.C.; Greek, 800 B.C.; and Vedic Sanskrit, 1500 B. C., the
	    more complex it is with respect to syntax, cases, genders,
	    moods,  voices, tenses, and verb forms.  The best evidence
	    indicates that languages DEvolve [a-c].

                Moody Press, 1976), pp. 83-89.

                Man,''  ICR IMPACT, No.28 (El Cajon, CA: Institute for
                Creation Research).

                IMPACT,  No.  44 (El Cajon, CA: Institute for Creation
                Research).

       13.  Studies of the thirty-six documented cases of children who
            were  raised  without  contact  with  other  humans (feral
            children) show that human speech  appears  to  be  learned
            only  from  other humans. Humans apparently have no inborn
            ability to speak. Therefore, the first  humans  must  have
            been endowed with a speaking ability; there is no evidence
            that language has evolved [a].
