     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    B.  ALL  ARGUMENTS  FOR  EVOLUTION  ARE  OUTDATED,  ILLOGICAL,  OR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.

       36.  Detailed studies of various animals have revealed  certain
            physical   equipment   and  capabilities  that  cannot  be
            duplicated by the world's best designers  using  the  most
            sophisticated technologies. For example, the miniature and
            reliable sonar systems of  the  dolphins,  porpoises,  and
            whales;  the  frequency-modulated radar and discrimination
            system of the bat  [a];  the  efficiency  and  aerodynamic
            capabilities  of  the  hummingbird;  the  control systems,
            internal  ballistics,  and  combustion  chambers  of   the
            bombardier   beetle   [b,c];  the  precise  and  redundant
            navigational systems of  many  birds  and  fish;  and  the
            self-repair capabilities of practically all forms of life.
            The many components of each complex system could not  have
            evolved in stages without placing a selective disadvantage
            on the animal. All evidence points to a Designer.

            a)  ''Ounce for ounce, watt for  watt,  it  [the  bat]  is
                millions  of  times  more efficient and more sensitive
                than  the  radars  and  sonars  contrived  by   man.''

                1984), p. 219.]
