European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - January 12, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 10 the stars and stripes readers offer thoughts about evolution 1 was intrigued and disappointed in a recent letter Reader discusses teaching of the writer starts with definitions of facts hypotheses and theories and forgets entirely the Laws of Sci ence. Webster defines facts As something that can be objectively verified with real demonstrable exist ence. Evolution is not verifiable today nor can it be demonstrated. Hypotheses Are things considered True for the purpose of investigation or argument. White it is True that evolution is. Scientific creationism is an argumentative subject evolutionists seem to forget the investigative aspects and just assume it is True because to not believe it is to believe in a special creation. A theory according to Webster is an As sumption or guess based on limited knowledge or information. So the wrong precedence was stated for a True scientist . Assumed facts to postulate theories an hypotheses. It should Start with theories things we Sec and assume which Lead to hypotheses explanations of our assumptions that Are considered True for investigation which include verifiable facts. If our theories and hypotheses cannot be proved by scientific investigation they remain theories and hypotheses. If they can be proved by tests and experiments to be True in every Case they become a Law of Sci ence. If it can be proven not to be True in one Case itis not a Ian the scientific Laws of thermodynamics As Well As other taws tend to disprove evolution and support scientific creationism. It is True thai scientific creationism cannot reproved. Neither can evolution. But it is True that the Laws of science show scientific creationism to be a More viable and trustworthy theory. The fact of evolution cannot be proved by the geologic column fossils Moon dust or any of the items mentioned. I would like to add that science and christianity arc compatible evolution and christianity Are not compatible. The writer did speak truthfully when he stated that Many of the leading scientists of the past and present arc or were christians and jews but he forgets that Many were also believers in an omnipotent god who was is the creator with no myths involved. David b. Miller Simbach a West Germany. Time is the hero of the evolutionist. When you arc talking 2 or More billion years almost anything can become possible. All dating methods can be and Are disputed. Some examples radio cleric dating makes Many assumptions. Radiocarbon dating method is Only Good for 40.000 years not the millions that was once believed. If the Earth has been Here for 5 million years there should be 182 feet of meteorite dust covering the entire Earth. Of course it s not. The growth of Active Coral reefs suggests a Date of 9,000 years forthe Earth. The influx of Nickel and Silicon to the Ocean via the Earth s River systems indicates the Earth to be less than 10,000 years old. The second Law of thermodynamics and a process called entropy prove that if the universe were 5 Mil lion years old All the Energy would have deteriorated. We would be in Complete darkness and Neydl Cess to say pretty cold. What about the third Law of biogenesis it says that life produces similar life. This Law would seem to prohibit the transmutation Between kinds of life. This leads me to the missing link that has never been found. The Nebraska Man was exactly one tooth but at the famous Scopes evolution trial in Dayton tcnn., it was used in the Case for evolution. To the supreme embarrassment of Many the tooth was discovered to be that of an extinct pig and so goes the other missing biologists and geneticists have failed to explain How life could have Arisen spontaneously How the Dan code was formed Why All living creatures re produce after their kind and How the evolution hypothesis can survive the deadly formulas of the Sec Ond Law of thermodynamics. I like this writer invite you to search for the answer. I believe special creation biblical creation is just As viable if not More so As the evolution theory. It really takes extreme Faith to believe in the evolution theory. As for me my simple Faith still believes in the beginning god Roy e. Fowler Nass Gonella Sicily during this Christmas season one of your readers apparently thought it would be the appropriate time to deflate us Byr minding us that we evolved from Primor dial ooze. The party asserted that evolution As expounded by Darwin was a scientific fact supported by natural science mainly Fossil findings and that it was compatible with Judaism and christianity. Darwinism has since become a religion with its adherents believing ritualistically through Faith and prayer that ultimately either a single Fossil or a living example would be found to support the theory of species being Able to transmute into higher forms of life. De spite Over 100 years of extensive and expensive search not one such conclusive Fossil has Ever been found. In the meantime different theories have evolved to replace darwinism each resplendent with its scientific array of selective facts and artefacts and prestigious advocates from Shirley Maclaine to Carl Sagan. A More significant but still minor omission is the neglect to mention that while scientists philosophers and theologians disagree among themselves about the origin of the species astonishingly there is a common agreement on two fundamentals that Bear on the Issue. These Are that every species from the lowest worm to Man himself is completely dependent upon other species and their unique characteristics for their survival. In addition All species Are totally dependent upon the magnificent Harmony and order that pervades the functioning of nature such As the seasons. Michael Ivanchak or. Heidelberg West Germany the writer applauds California s state Board of Edu cation decision placing evolution in its proper that the Board did not go further and declare evolution a fact is a credit to their integrity because it will never be anything More than a theory and at Best a poorly supported one. The idea that Man developed from a simple to Complex creature is not supported scientifically. There is no Fossil evidence showing a transition from one species to another. The evolutionist s idea that even Earth s forma Tion was a gradual process of nature contradicts the biblical account of the flood and the catastrophic affect it had on All the Earth s surface. I believe the Bible is the inspired word of god that he created the heavens and Earth and that Manas created by him in his image to bring him glory. Those who accept the theory of a universe born out of confusion have turned their backs on the truth. Those who dispute the creation and creator have denied the truth. Diane Davenport Ansbach West Germany i will present one analogy that i believe shows the preposterous ass of evolution As the origin of the Spe cies and the historical development of the universe. Believing that the intricate timing balance and Mere existence of our present Day world could have just poo cd into being by a big bang or have started from a one celled amoeba is quite incomprehensible and takes More Faith than believing in the creation account according to the Book of genesis. It is easier to believe that we could take the components of a Swiss watch and place All of the tiny screws gears mainspring etc., in a Case a assembled and move them All around in just the right manner Over along period of time and eventually produce a perfectly timed perfectly assembled watch. In reality we know that thai is Only possible with the personal handling and care of a watchmaker meticulously making inc right and placing inc pendulum in to lion. In l this world especially the human body much More Complex than a mechanical watch Brent Maupin Simbach a West Germany. The definition of a science As a process which is testable and observable and from which we can draw conclusions is a Good definition except that the pro Cess should also be Ripca table. The initial acts of creation or evolution do not meet i Csc criteria. They Are neither Les Lable observable nor rep capable. Whether you believe As i do Hal god spoke and All Mailer was coca cd or thai from nowhere Energy appeared and Lumen Inlo Hydrogen Gas which Ihen proceeded to evolve into Complex molecules and cells and the began the Long trip from Pramac churn to people a lot of Faith is required. Each person arrives Al his or her own viewpoint based mainly upon their religious or philosophical beliefs. Most evolution Isis base the theory of a Volution upon the geological column and its supposed series of fossilized changes and adaptations. Far from being a proof of evolution the geological column is its own Achilles Heel. If the geological column represented Mil lion of years of Earth sediment we would be Able to observe a continuous series of gradual changes in in fossils. Bui nol one missing link or intermediate change has Ever been found. There simply arc none bul How could in arc be the geological column is nothing More than the massive Sci Mcnary deposits of the no Achian flood. The Only kind of evolution which can be observed is Micro Volution. These Are the changes and adapt Anions which occur within each species bul Only to the ext Cal of ils genetic variability. We have Many types of apples bul apples never evolve Inlo oranges. Macro evolution has never Lakin place one species evolving Inlo another. The Wriler my Lions Moon dust As a proof of Evolur lion. Evolutionary scientists were certain Hal Astro nauts would sink 30 to 100 feel Inlo billions of years of Moon Dusi. Such Doplh was nol the Case. Al continued on Page 11
