TIFIC_COMPETITION_
The competitors of
the competition “Why Is the Theory of Evolution Invalid?” held by
Science Research Foundation had some righteous demands, stating that
given the too many dilemmas of Darwinism, 15 pages is too short for their essays
and that the time is inadequate. Upon these requests, some changes have
been made on the rules of the competition and the GREAT PRIZE IS INCREASED.
Entries which will be hand-written on A4 paper will NOT EXCEED 60 PAGES IN
LENGTH AND NOT BE LESS THAN 30 PAGES. The competition
will include two stages. In this first stage of the competition, the
prize of the winning contestant is increased to 25,000 YTL. Therunner-up will
receive 15,000 YTL and the third prize-winning contestant will receive 10,000
YTL. In the second stage of the competition, the winning
contestant will receive a prize of 100,000 YTL, the runner-up 50,000 YTL and the
third prize-winning contestant 25,000 YTL. In the first stage
of the competition, contestants will send to our foundation their
essays containing comprehensive and convincing information on the
subject of all the Darwinist dilemmas that prove the invalidity of
evolution, of the kind summarized below. The first 1000 entries
received will be considered. The contestants
will send their theses to the following address of the foundation by
mail: Çakýrađa mah. Katip Müslihittin sok. Sađlam Ýţhaný No.3 D.12-13
Aksaray/Ýstanbul. The last day to receive the essays is extended until 18
October 2009. In the second stage
of the contest, the scientific essays reaching our foundation will be
evaluated by academicians who are experts on the subject and 100
contestants will be entitled to take part in the final.
The final
competition will be held on 6 December 2009, Sunday at a location which
will be announced later with the participation of the 100 contestants
that are selected by the jury. The contestants will be asked to answer
a test consisting of 80 questions. The winners will receive their checks at an
award ceremony on 28 December 2009. The purpose of this
competition is to raise young people’s awareness of Darwinism, which
has inflicted immense damage on mankind and to put them on their guard
against this terrible fraud in science.
SOME DILEMMAS FACING THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION
(1) Life cannot emerge by chance...
Proteins
are complex molecules that both constitute the building blocks of
living cells and also perform very important tasks within the cell. The
odds that an average protein molecule forms by chance have been
calculated as “1 in 10950, a figure that far exceeds human imagination. In
mathematical terms, this figure represents a probability of “zero.”
(2) There is not a single intermediate fossil…
Although
some 100 million fossils belonging to 250,000 separate species have to
date been unearthed, not one supports Darwinism. All the fossils
discovered belong to fully formed and complete life forms. However, if
evolutionists’ claims were true then a great many out of so many
fossils should belong to “intermediate life forms,” but not a single
one actually does.
(3) “Living fossils” are a response to evolutionary myths...
Living
fossils are proofs that refute the theory of evolution’s claim of
“gradual development” in a particularly striking way. The reason why
these are known as “living fossils” is that despite being hundreds of
millions of years old, they are identical to specimens living today.
There are living fossils belonging to a great many species, from ants
to trees, and from bats to sharks. This represents definitive
documentation that evolution never happened in natural history.
(4) The unimaginable information in DNA…
The information regarding all a person’s characteristics, from their physical
appearance to the structure of their internal organs,
is recorded in a special coding system inside DNA. If we were to put
down this genetic information in DNA on paper, we would have to
construct a giant library of 900 volumes containing 500 pages each.
This unimaginable quantity of information is encoded in the parts of
DNA known as “genes.” It is an absolute fact that DNA cannot form by
chance.
(5) Organs with irreducible complexity...
Irreducible
complexity is a feature that invalidates the claim of gradual
development lying at the heart of the theory of evolution. For example,
eyes and wings possess irreducible complexity. It is impossible for the
structures such as the tear gland, retina and iris, that together
comprise the eye, to come into being individually in stages. That is
because sight will only take place when all the components making up
the eye are present and fully formed. The same thing applies to the
wing.
(6) All the variety of life on Earth appeared suddenly 530 million years ago...
Nearly
all the phyla (Mollusca, Chordata and similar categories) emerged in
the Cambrian Period, 530 million years ago. Only one or two phyla
existed in the Pre-Cambrian, whereas more than 50 emerged suddenly in
the Cambrian in various regions of the world. Pre-Cambrian life forms
had only very simple bodily forms, while those from the Cambrian were
incomparably complex. For example, there is no difference between the
eye of the trilobite, a life form that emerged in the Cambrian, and the
eyes of present-day life forms.
(7) Reptiles are not the ancestors of birds...
Evolutionists are no longer able to point to Archaeopteryx as
an intermediate form between reptiles and birds. Investigations of
fossils have shown that the creature is not a transitional form, but
rather an extinct species
of bird with slightly different characteristics to those of present-day
birds. The presence of a breastbone (sternum) proving it had powerful
flight muscles and an asymmetrical feather structure identical to that
in present-day birds show that this animal was able to fly perfectly
well.
(8) Fish did not move onto the land...
Evolutionists
once used to point to the coelacanth as evidence for the myth of a
transition from water to dry land. It was thought that the coelacanth
was an intermediate life form between fish and amphibians. However, a
“living” coelacanth was caught in the Indian Ocean
in 1938. More than 200 other specimens have been caught to date.
Analysis of living coelacanths has revealed that the animal is a
flawless fish, and that all the previous conjecture based on fossil
remains is completely false.
(9) Mutations cannot form new species...
Mutations
are breakages and dislocations, caused by radiation or chemical
effects, in the DNA molecule located in the nucleus of the living cell
and that carries genetic information. DNA has a highly complex
structure. For that reason, any random change arising in this molecule
can only damage it. Mutations usually lead to irreparable damage,
deformity and even death. People subjected to the tragedies of
Hiroshima, Nagasaki or Chernobyl are living indications of this. The
claim that mutations are an evolutionary mechanism is proof of the
dilemma facing the theory of evolution.
(10) Natural selection cannot lead to evolution…
Natural
selection means the survival of strong individuals best fitted to
environmental conditions. But this does not give rise to new species.
For example, in a herd of zebra threatened by predators, it is the
fastest-running zebra that will survive, and the herd will gradually
turn into a herd of fast-running zebra. But this process is a limited
one and it will never turn the zebra into any other species. That is
because their skeletal and muscular structure and physiology is
recorded in their DNA, and the struggle against predators cannot change
that information nor bestow any new genetic information on zebra.
(11) Human beings did not evolve, but were created as human beings...
It
has now been brought to light that the human family tree is based
solely on evolutionist imagination. Evolutionists maintained that human
beings are the result of a gradual transition from "Australopithecines > Homo
habilis > Homo erectus> Homo sapiens,"
in that order. They gave the impression that each of these is the
ancestor of the one following it. The fact is, however, that these life
forms, which evolutionists’ regard as one another’s forerunners, are
actually found alongside one another, which demolishes this fictitious
family tree. The latest findings by paleoanthropologists show that
Australopithecines, Homo habilis and Homo erectus lived at the same time in
different parts of the world.
(12) All the fossil skulls proposed for the supposed evolution of man are
false...
All
of the fossils proposed for the myth of evolution belong either to apes
or to human beings. None of them have any intermediate form
characteristics. Darwinist categorization of fossils is based on their
speculation on either extinct ape or human fossils. In fact, all the
living things classified as Australopithecus and Homo habilis are actually
extinct apes, and those classified as Homo erectus and Homo neandertalensis are
extinct forms of human being.
(13) The history of evolution is full of fraud...
Instead
of declaring the fact there is not one single transitional fossil,
Darwinists have sought a solution in manufacturing fake fossils. These
fossil forgeries have been displayed in the greatest museums in the
world in order to deceive all of humanity. The most known of all these
are Piltdown Man, made by attaching an orang utan jaw to a human cranium and
exhibited in the British Museum for 40 years, Nebraska Man, reconstructed
together with his whole family from a single wild pig’s tooth, the fake
feathered dinosaur Archaeoraptor made by putting the bones of various living
things together and exhibited in the National Geographic Museum, Haeckel’s fake
embryo drawings, the peppered moths glued onto tree trunks, and the false equine
series allegedly showing the evolution of the horse that was produced by
bringing together totally irrelevant life forms that lived at different
times and in different places and is still on display in London’s Natural
History Museum.
(14) Darwinists have sought a solution in hiding the fossil record, which did
not reveal a single intermediate fossil...
Darwinists
conceal fossils. The reason for this is that among all the millions of
fossils, NOT A SINGLE ONE supports evolution. Cambrian fossils that
declare that the whole variety of life emerged suddenly some 530
million years ago with no evolutionary ancestors behind it, were
concealed by an evolutionist scientist for 70 years. The oldest known
fossil parrot, dating back 65 million years, which is identical to
present-day parrots and thus refutes evolution, was hidden away for 40
years. There are still 100 million fossils unearthed from below the
ground and that show that living things were created with all their
perfect, complex appearances and have never changed since, that are
being concealed by Darwinists.
(15) The complexity of the cell comes as a lethal blow to Darwin’s theory of
evolution...
Darwinists
are unable to account for the cell, which is a miracle with a complex
and perfect structure that Darwin could never dream of in his own day.
Many structures in the cell, such as energy production plants, protein
manufacturing factories, freight systems carrying raw materials,
decoders that translate DNA and communications systems are all in a
constant state of flawlessly organized activity, and only a small part
of these components are fully understood. The impossibility of even a
single protein from among the hundreds of proteins that constitute the
cell emerging by chance makes it very clear what a deception the
Darwinist claim of the first fictitious cell really is.
(16) The Darwinist claim of vestigial organs is a deception...
Darwinist
sources suggested that there were various functionless organs in living
things and claimed that these organs were inherited from the supposed
forerunners of the life forms in question. For example, the appendix
and the coccyx in the human body were for years portrayed as vestigial
organs by Darwinists. Scientific progress,
however, has totally eliminated this rotten Darwinist claim. All the
structures once regarded as vestigial organs have been seen to have
their own functions. In the same way, the evolutionist concept of “junk
DNA,” the claim that some sections of DNA are useless, has been totally
discredited by new discoveries. It has been shown that these parts of
DNA actually perform important tasks in the body.
(17) The fact that we only have experience of an image of matter totally
demolishes Darwinist philosophy...
One
reality scientifically proven in our century is that we never have
direct experience of the external original of matter. Electric signals
reach us by way of our senses, and the image that forms for us in our
brains consists solely of these signals. But we see highly colored,
vivid, active, three-dimensional and perfectly sharp images, hear
perfectly clear sounds and perceive a flawless outside world. But all
these are merely perceptions. It is the soul bestowed on human beings
by Allah (God) that perceives, sees and hears them, that understands,
thinks, rejoices and yearns. This great reality has totally discredited
the materialist and Darwinist mindset, which claims that everything
consists of matter.
