1. CREATIONISM OR EVOLUTIONISM? things, but ultimately everything dies and turns moving parts, have made itself?
oving parts, have made itself?
1.1 Only Two Options. There are only two
possibilities: Either (a) God created the World
(Creationism!) or (b) the World made itself
(Evolutionism!). However, nobody can really
submit final, conclusive arguments for either
view, because no mortal was present when the
World was made. All we have is (c) the apparent
evidence available in Nature and (d) revelation
as provided by God through the Holy Scriptures.
I will herewith endeavour to show that the
evidence for Creationism in Nature is far more
credible than any so-called 'evidence' for
Evolutionism, and that the Fossil Record actually
confirms the Génesis Creation Account of the
Bible.
1.2 Can Evolutionism really 'Create'?
(a) The Law Of Creatorship. There is a Natural
Law (the 'Law Of Creatorship') that states that
the Creator/Maker of an object or a product is
always both more intelligent and complex than
that particular object or product, whether that
Creator/Maker is (i) folding a serviette,
(ii) making a paper-airplane or (iii) erecting a
nuclear-plant. In terms of this 'Law' the
Universe was thus created by a Superior
Being/Higher Power, for the simple reason that
this Universe is a mighty complex place (just look
at the 'Electromagnetic Spectrum', the DNA-
Molecule or 'Periodic Table Of Elements') ... so
the Creator/Maker of the Universe must of
necessity be both more complex and intelligent
than the Universe (object/product) itself. The
evolutionists, however, teach that Evolution
works randomly and without purpose, i.e. there
is no sign of intelligence or intelligent design
detectable in the process at all!
(b) The Laws Of Thermodynamics. Evolutio-
nism cannot refute the 'First And Second Laws
Of Thermodynamics'. (i) The 'First Law Of
Thermodynamics'. States that energy & matter
(sister-phenomena) can neither be created nor
destroyed. No one can add to or take away from
the total portfolio of energy & matter available in
the Universe. We may harness and manipulate it,
but that's all. But, if energy & matter cannot be
created or destroyed, how then did Evolutionary
Theory not only 'create' the World out of the raw
materials at the time, but also first 'create' those
very raw materials, apparently out of nothing?
How did the Evolutionary Theory abrogate or
override The 'First Law Of Thermodynamics'?
(ii) The 'Second Law Of Thermodynamics'.
States that the Universe is running down ...
time's arrow points downwards. There is a
'Law Of Decay And Death' at work in Nature,
and nothing we do can stop it. We may delay the
process by perhaps maintaining and cleaning
when they melt down granite and allow it to cool
to dust. This 'Law' states that random events
(such as Evolution) can never lead to Order out
of Chaos (low entropy) but always to Chaos out
of Order (high entropy). The hopes, dreams
and illusions behind Evolutionary Theory is, in
other words, built on the same hopeless
mathematical probabilities as the natural laws
governing gambling and betting. Evolution, if it
were true, will have relied solely on 'luck'.
(iii) An Intelligent First Cause. The Universe is
... like a huge old grandfather-clock, It too must,
eventually, decay, stop ticking and die. But then,
Who wound it up in the first place? Thus, the
very existence of the 'Second Law Of
Thermodynamics' demands the existence of a
Creator, an Intelligent First Cause. (iv) Evolutio-
nists Ignore Universal Laws. The 'First And
Second Laws Of Thermodynamics' stand
unchallenged by real scientists in the world of
physics ... it is only the Evolutionists (pseudo-
scientists) who propose to override the natural
laws of the Universe with such regular impunity.
(c) Biogenesis. Scientists working in the field of
Genetics will tell you that Biogenesis means that
only a living cell can give rise to a living cell ...
LIFE cannot evolve from non-life.
(d) Irreducible, Instantaneous & Specified
Complexity. The three principles of 'Irreducible,
Instantaneous & Specified Complexity' make
Evolutionism an impossible concept. These
principles demand that living organisms be fully
formed instantaneously before they can function
as viable species. For instance: (i) Clotting Of
Blood. How long can any living organism,
'evolving' over many 'millions of years', afford to
wait for its blood to learn to clot ... musn't blood
be able to clot instantly within a matter of
minutes? (ii) Learning His Craft. How long can
the little fish, squirting down his prey (dinner)
with his little built-in water-pistol, afford to wait
for his food until he had learnt the rudiments of
his craft ... musn't he be able to eat that same
evening? (iii) Baby-Whales Must Survive. How
long can baby-whales afford to wait until mother-
whales had developed a fully-functional (non-
return) oneway-valve nipple for baby-whales to
drink from (under water)? (iv) The Household
Mousetrap. Consider the simple household-
mousetrap, with five moving parts or so ... can a
mousetrap make itself? How long will you be
willing to wait for a mousetrap to be
manufactured by Evolutionism, or would you
rather buy it from a store?
(e) Simple Questions. Now if a simple
mousetrap cannot even make itself, how could
(i) the flagellum of bacteria with forty moving
parts; (ii) your body with trillions of moving
parts or (iii) this Universe, with mega-zillions of
(f) What Do The Mathematicians Say? The
mathematicians have, as far back as the 1966
Wistar Symposium (USA), already told the
Evolutionists that Evolution is mathematically
not feasible. The chances for Evolution are, in
terms of mathematical probability, so remote as
to be virtually non-existent. You've got to have a
lot of faith to be an Evolutionist!
(g) The Discovery Of DNA. The discovery of
DNA has made Evolutionism a defunct, obsolete
Theory. Scientists who work with DNA everyday
of heir lives will tell you that the encoded DNA in
the body cells of living organisms contain a built-
in firewall that prohibits Evolution across
species.
1.3 Is Planet Earth really 5 Billion Years Old?
(a) Earth Inflation? First, consider what suspect-
type of 'scientific source' originally gave rise to
this silly rumour that the Earth is 5 billion years
old: (i) In 1862, Thompson said the Earth was '20
million years' old; (ii) In 1897, Thompson doubled
it to '40 million years'; (iii) In 1899, Joly decided that
the Earth was '90 million years' old; (iv) In 1921,
Raleigh said the Earth was '1 billion years' old;
(v) In 1932, W.O. Hotchkiss moved the figure up
to '1,6 billion years'; (vi) In 1947, A. Holmes
declared Planet Earth to be exactly '3,35 billion
years' old but, (vii) in 1956, A. Holmes raised it
to '4,5 billion years'. (viii) At present, the so-called
age of the Earth stands at '4,6 - 5 billion years'
They call this 'Science'? I call it science fiction.
1.4 Why We Believe That The Earth Is Only
About 6 000 Years Old. If the Earth were really 5
billion years old, then:
(a) Trees, Coral Reefs & Deserts. Why are the
oldest living trees (Sequoia Redwoods), the
oldest and largest coral reef (Australia's Great
Barrier Reef), and the oldest and largest desert
(Sahara), only about 4 000 years old? Simple:
A planetwide Flood about 4 400 years ago ... a
deluge with the impact of probably millions of
tsunami's, or the equivalent of about 8 billion
hydrogen bombs (according to geo-physicist Walt
T. Brown) would have made the survival of these
natural phenomena impossible under such
catastrophic conditions.
(b) The Polonium-218 Radio-Halos. Why does
Robert Gentry's research with the Polonium-218
Radiohalo (a phenomenon observed by geo-
physicists microscopically in all granites) show
that all the granites on our planet could only have
coagulated (after its formation) within 3 minutes,
and not over 'millions' of years? If the Earth were
really formed out of redhot, molten lava
(granite), then why do geophysicists find that,
down to a solid, it never cools back to solid
granite again, but to rhyolite? If the Earth really
originated from molten granite, the foundation-
stone of our planet ought to have been rhyolite,
not granite.
(d) The Pressure Of Subterranean Oil. The oil-
pressure of sub-terranean oil in the crust of the
Earth is 20 000 psi. That, as well as the average
thicknesses for the topsoil of the Earth (± 35 cm.)
and the Moon (±1,92 cm. – 7,65 cm.), indicate
that the Earth and Moon cannot be much older
than 10 000 years.
(f) The Sea. Why is the Sea, after '5 billion
years', still only 3,6% salty, i.e. 96,4% fresh
water? By now the oceans ought to have been
one enormous saltpan.
2. THE FOSSIL RECORD CONFIRMS THE
GÉNESIS CREATION ACCOUNT.
2.1 Creation In 6 Days Of 24 Hours Each.
(a) Creative Evolution? The evidence in Nature
points to a young Earth of about 6 000 years old.
The brave but futile efforts of some Theists (i.e.
people who believe in a 'God') to compromise
with the Evolutionists by introducing so-called
Theistic or Creative Evolution (whereby 'God'
alledgedly created and maintains the Universe
through the process of Evolution) is ludicrous.
These Theists apparently do not believe that God,
with an IQ of ∞ = infinity, is omnipotent after all.
(b) Time Won't Solve The Evolutionist's
Problem. If God could not make this Universe
and our Solar System in 6 days of 24 hours each,
then neither could He have made it in 15 billion
years, and to teach this gross anomaly is referred
to in theology as 'heresy'. Anyway, what makes
pro-evolutionist 'theists' think that to make a
Universe in 15 billion years is any 'easier' than
making it in 144 hours? I do not understand such
goofy logic. Ask any mathematician acquainted
with 'Probability Theory' and he will tell you that
longer periods ('15 billion years') will actually
exacerbate the problem and make Evolutionism
even more difficult & unlikely. More time would
not have solved the evolutionist's problem.
Probability Theory teaches that, with passing
time, the chances for success diminish, they do
not improve. Any seasoned gambler (still
around) will confirm this nasty phenomenon. At
the 1966 Wistar Symposium in the USA the
mathematicians articulated this fact to the
evolutionists, but they would not listen. Vance
Ferrell BA., MA., BD. Writes: “The point is that TIME
can never work in favour of something that cannot happen.
Can TIME change rocks into badgers; seawater into turk-
eys; sand into fishes? Can TIME discover human
hormones; manufacture the telescopic eye of the eagle; or
arrange for the Moon to orbit the Earth? The truth is that,
the longer the TIME, the greater the chances for decay, and
the less the chances that Evolution will take place.” (Vance
Ferrell BA, MA, BD: 'Science vs. Evolution', p.162).
2.2 Reasons You May Trust The Génesis
Creation Account.
(a) Will God Ever Lie? God is not a man that
He should lie. Did Jesus ever lie?
(“If I [Jesus] have told you earthly things, and ye believe not,
how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?” (Joh.
3:12 KJV). .Have you ever read His Curriculum
Vitae? Will the Holy Spirit ever lie to you? ...
what blasphemy to even suggest the possibility.
(b) Jesus Created In An Instant. Remember,
Jesus created thousands of loaves of bread &
portions of fish to feed the hungry crowds (out of
only 3 fishes and 5 loaves), as well as turned
water into wine, all in the space of a few minutes
... why would He need (i) 15 billion years to
create the Universe, (ii) 5 billion years to create
our Solar System including Planet Earth, or (iii) 3
million years to create Mankind? How did they
anyway 'count the years' to arrive at the age of '15
billion years' for the Universe if the Earth and the
Sun was only made '5 billion years' ago? Isn't a
year the number of days (365¼) the Earth needs
to complete one orbit around the Sun?
(c) The Six Days Of Creation. The 6 days of
Creation were obviously days of 24 hours each.
(i) The plants were made on Day 3 ... how long
could the poor flowers have afforded to wait for
the Sun to come up (on Day 4) and supply the
rays for the chlorophyll to form ... a 1 000 years?
(ii) The insects were probably made on Day 5 and
the birds & bats on Days 5 & 6 ... how long could
the poor flowers have afforded to wait for the
insects, birds and bats to pollenate the flowers ...
2 000 to 3 000 years? It does not make sense.
The 6 days of Creation can only be understood in
terms of 6 days of 24 hours each.
2.3 What The Fossil Record Indicates.
(a) Classification Systems. The very fact that
the animal kingdom can be classified at all by
taxonomists i.e. kingdom; phylum; class; order;
family; genus and species proves Evolutionism
fallacious. According to the Evolutionists all
living organisms are 'in constant flux' ('evolving'
all the time) and should the diverse species in
the lowest stratum of the 'Paleozoic Era' of the
so-called 'Geologic Column' or 'Geological Time
Scale'). In the 'Pre-Cambrian' sediment
(immediately below the 'Cambrian') there are
virtually no animal-fossils to be found, but,
suddenly, in the 'Cambrian', the incredibly
diverse animal kingdom appears out of seeming-
ly nowhere, all fully developed and classifiable as
distinct species. They are supposed to be
'ancient', but are all dressed up for action in
'modern costumes', exactly as Génesis asserts.
(c) Fossilisation And The Biblical Flood. Most
fossils are found in sediment (e.g. Cretaceous)
indicating a watery demise. A prequisite for
fossilisation is, amongst others (i) alkaline and
damp soil and (ii) sudden burial under great
pressure, exactly the type of conditions
associated with the Biblical Flood (alkaline and
damp soil, and living organisms and plants
suddenly buried, en masse, with great pressure
underneath tons of sediment).
actually states that it were as if the animals were
all trapped in mud [Peter Schirmer, 'The Concise Illustrated
Encyclopaedic History Of Southern Africa', C.N.A.(1980)], evidence of a
Biblical Flood about 4 400 years ago.
(d) Why No Transitional Fossils? There are an
estimated 100 million (or more) catalogued
fossils/fragments in the World today, and not
one of them is a transitional fossil, a prerequisite
for Evolution to have taken place. Also, in spite
of probably billions of fossils still buried in the
rich Karoo-formation, no transitional fossil has
ever been found, a clear sign that Evolution had
never occurred in history ... ever.
(e) The Fossil-Record Tells A Different Story
Than That Of The Evolutionists. It has been
reported that that ± 99% of the total animal-
kingdom that ever existed had already gone
extinct ... we have been left with only ± 1% of the
immense diversity that must have existed prior to
the Biblical Flood (about 2 348 B.C.). This is,
however, contrary to what Evolutionary Theory
teach ... i.e. that the animal kingdom was
supposed to have started with low diversity (± 1%
?) and evolved into higher diversity (± 99% ?)!
3. ANATOMY OF A WORLDWIDE DELUGE
CALLED 'THE FLOOD'.
3.1 Flood Expectations? What could one have
expected from the fossil evidence in sedimentary
strata if the Flood, and not Evolution, had caused
the rock strata wherein fossils today are found?
The questions below (including the responses =

have, en masse, caused Worldwide fossilisation
approximately 4 400 years ago, exactly the way
one would have expected it to do:
 Were animals that lived on the LOWEST LEVELS also
buried in the LOWEST STRATA?
 Were animals from the SAME ECOLOGICAL
