The Lie That Never Dies

Homo naledi: The latest "missing link"

Remember Lucy, the apelike creature that was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974? Lucy became known as Australopithecus africanus, and she was promoted to the world as the missing link between lower primates and human beings.

Unfortunately for researchers who were determined to use Lucy to prove evolution, Australopithecus africanus turned out to be a monkey that walked upright. And it turns out that Lucy belonged to a group of monkeys that were known to walk on their hind legs long before Lucy was discovered. So much for Lucy.

There was Ramapithecus, another apelike creature that was promoted as the missing link between apes and human beings because Ramapithecus had a jaw similar to human beings. It turns out that Ramapithecus also had a jaw similar to an orangutan, and orangutans are still around and show no signs of changing into human beings.

Historians may also remember the Piltdown Man hoax that grew out of a skull that was discovered in Germany in 1907. Piltdown Man became the wishful thinking of an amateur paleontologist named Charles Dawson who, probably out of self-aggrandizement, sought fame and fortune by promoting Piltdown Man as Charles Darwin's missing link between monkeys and human beings.

How did Piltdown Man meet his end? 

From hoax.org: For over three decades the Piltdown skull was accepted by the scientific community as an authentic artifact. But as more skeletons of early man were found, it became clear that the Piltdown Man was radically unlike anything else in the fossil record. Therefore in 1953 a team of researchers at the British Museum (Kenneth Oakley, Wilfred Le Gros Clark, and Joseph Weiner) subjected the skull and jawbone to a rigorous series of tests. What they found was shocking. The skull was a fake. Using a fluorine-based test to date the skull, the researchers determined that the upper skull was approximately 50,000 years old. The jawbone, however, was only a few decades old. A second test, using nitrogen analysis, confirmed the first test. They also found that the jaw had been artificially stained with potassium dichromate to make it appear older. The British Museum researchers argued that someone must have taken the jawbone and teeth of a modern ape, probably an orangutan, and stained them in order to make them look ancient. These artifacts, the jaw and skull fragments, must then have been planted at the Piltdown site.

And now we have Homo naledi, another apelike creature that was recently discovered in a cave near Johannesburg, South Africa: Scientists from the University of the Witwatersrand, the National Geographic Society and the South African Department of Science and Technology/National Research Foundation revealed Thursday morning (9/10/2015) that they'd found a huge trove of fossils believed to be from a previously unknown early human ancestor — one that could have used tools and may have even figured out how to bury its dead.

Like Lucy, Ramapithecus and Piltdown Man, Homo naledi is being promoted as a missing link between monkeys and human beings. And, like the other three breakthrough discoveries, Homo Naledi will prove to be another hoax. 

Why? Because evolution is a myth. It never happened and it can't happen. But don't take my word for it. Take the word of Antony Flew, a scientist and a former atheist who said this: What I think the DNA material has done is that it has shown, by the most unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which are needed to produce life, that intelligence must have been involved in getting these extraordinarily diverse elements to work together. It's the enormous complexity of the number of elements and the enormous subtlety of the ways they work together which looked to me like the work of intelligence. (Antony Flew: How the World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind: New York: HarperOne, 2007, p75)

Lee Spetner, a biophysicist, said this about evolution: The failure to observe even one mutation that adds information is evidence against the theory. My main arguments against evolution are well illustrated by the human eye: Where would the new information come from to provide the genetic blueprint for this structure? (Lee Spetner: Not By Chance: Shattering The Modern Theory of Evolution: New York: Judaica Press, 1997)

To believe in evolution, you have to believe that life wasn't designed but rather resulted from random chemical processes that occurred over millions of years. That's so absurd that only fools believe that. For example, human DNA is made up of specific protein combinations. 

There are literally millions of protein combinations that exist, but only a specific type forms DNA which is the foundation of all life. To believe that the DNA protein combination formed by itself via unintelligent random evolutionary forces is to believe that one can fly a Cessna to the moon.  

Why does the theory of evolution continue to thrive despite the fact that it's a bald-faced lie? Because it offers people an escape from moral accountability to a Holy God and His subsequent judgment of sin. But that's a delusion that inevitably leads to eternal doom. And tragically, countless people have embraced that false hope, only to realize they were living a lie once they die and enter eternity.

Nearly 3,000 years ago, King David wrote this: "The fool says in his heart; 'there is no god.' They are corrupt, their deeds are vile, there is no one who does good." (Psalm 14:1)

Sadly, despite the evidence to the contrary, evolution will continue to be promoted as factual science. And millions of people will continue to fall for its seductive lies.
