     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. (See 1-13.)

    B.  ALL  ARGUMENTS  FOR  EVOLUTION  ARE  OUTDATED,  ILLOGICAL,  OR
        WISHFUL THINKING.  (See 14-24.)

    C.  NEW RESEARCH SHOWS THAT  THE  REQUIREMENTS  FOR  LIFE  ARE  SO
        COMPLEX  THAT CHANCE AND EVEN BILLIONS OF YEARS CANNOT EXPLAIN
        IT.

       33.  The simplest form of life consists of about 600  different
            protein  molecules. The mathematical probability that JUST
            ONE molecule could form by the chance arrangement  of  the
            proper amino acids is far less than 1 in 10**527. [a] (The
            magnitude  of  the  number  10**527  can   begin   to   be
            appreciated  by  realizing  that  the  visible universe is
            about 10**28 inches in diameter.)

                (Grand  Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House, 1973), pp.
                71-72.

       34.  There are many instances where quite  different  forms  of
            life  are  completely  dependent upon each other. Examples
            include: fig trees and the fig gall wasp [a,b], the  yucca
            plant  and  the pronuba moth [c], many parasites and their
            hosts, and pollen-bearing plants and the  honeybee.   Even
            the  members  of  the  honeybee  family, consisting of the
            queen, workers, and drones,  are  interdependent.  If  one
            member of each interdependent group evolved first (such as
            the plant before the animal or one member of the  honeybee
            family  before another), it could not have survived. Since
            all members of the group  obviously  have  survived,  they
            must  have  come  into  existence  at essentially the same
            time.
