UNIT 3
Evolution
Evolutionism: Is the Belief Based on Evidence?
If you ask someone who believes in evolution to provide observable proof, you will likely find they are unable.Few people believe in evolution due to evidence, but rather because they simply "want to believe" in something other than the Bible. Darwin's theory is supported by several observations including the similarities found among living creatures called "Homologies", comparisons found during embryonic development, and the Fossil Record. This presentation will review the evidence fore evolution including the process of speciation and natural selection, and evaluate how these observations align with the Biblical history of created kinds. When the evidence is interpreted correctly, we see clear support for the Biblical teachings that various kinds of plants and animals were created in the beginning, which have subsequently developed into the thousands of species on Earth today.

The Origin of Life
The origin of life remains the most significant unexplained assertion of natural science. More than 150 years after Louis Pasteur disproved spontaneous generation, evolutionists continue to argue that it happened in the distance past. However, following exhaustive efforts, proponents can provide little supporting evidence and remain no closer to solving the riddle of how life began. This lesson will summarize the case against a natural origin of life while highlighting some of the tremendous complexity found in the cell. Truly, evolution is without foundation.

Ape Man
Evolutionists argue that humans have descended from ape-like ancestors, thereby reducing humanity to the status of a primate animal. Darwin's seminal theory led inexorably to this conclusion. However, the Bible clearly states that we were created distinct from the animals, and “in the image of God”. Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:26-27 This lesson examines the various “ape-men” used to support human evolution; including Neanderthals, Homo erectus, and Australopithecines. Were there really ape-men or is the infamous missing-link still missing?
