The are Still Missing
Evolution's Greatest Hoax
"The number of intermediate varieties, which have formerly existed on the earth, be truly enormous.
Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly
does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest
objection which can be urged against my theory."
- Charles Darwin,
On the Origin of the Species
Most of us as children remember the story of Alice In Wonderland. In one part Alice says to
the Queen, “There is no use trying, one cannot believe in impossible things.” The Queen, however,
disagrees: “Why, sometimes, I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”
Those who continue to believe in evolution, in spite of the many evidences to the contrary, are
like the Queen, still living in a place where, “once upon a time, long-long ago, in a land far-far
away," human beings arose from slime and grime.
Transitional fossils (missing links) are usually given as proof of Wonderland. But as we shall
see, examining a few of those missing links will give us a better understanding of how the land of
wonder works.
Homo Habilis
In the early 1960s, transitional fossils were sought after by scholars wanting to bridge the
gap between the extinct gracile australopithecines and homo erectus (a close relative of homo
sapiens, i.e., early human). Paleoanthropologists Louis Leakey and wife Mary, for example, while
digging in Sub-Sahara Africa, found a number of man-like fossils which were designated homo
habilis (i.e., the first humans). They consisted of hand, foot and scull bones, and several teeth.1
Their son Richard made a similar discovery in 1972, skulls dating to about 3 million years. At
3 million years they pre-dated their ancestors by about a million years. Richard thus admitted:
“It simply fits no previous models of human beginnings... either we toss out this scull or we toss out our theories...” 2
Homo habilis was eventually classified a female ape.
Biology textbooks written 30 years later still referred to homo habilis as a missing link. The 1993 Saunders college textbook, ‘Biology,’ for example, states:
“The first hominid to have enough human features to be placed in the same genus as modern
humans is Homo habilis.” 3
Another textbook makes a similar claim :
“This period of speciation also produced Homo habilis, the first member of our genus.” 4
These claims are either careless mistakes or deliberate lies. A mistake can be corrected but a lie suggest a deeper problem: dishonesty, or perhaps religious fanaticism. Waiting thirty years for a correction is inexcusable; textbooks are to educate, not indoctrinate.
Piltdown Man
The Piltdown Man was cobbled together from bones buried in a gravel pit by a practical joker. They included a human scull, a jawbone of an orangutan and some teeth from a chimpanzee. The bones looked ancient because they had been stained, and the teeth looked human too, because they had been shaped by a file.
Piltdown Man was one of the "missing-links" used at the Scopes Monkey Trial to prove evolution.
Neanderthal Man
The bones of Neanderthal discovered around 1829 appeared to be stooped-over,
bow-legged "cave men." They turned out later to be ordinary humans with rickets and
arthritis. Since rickets are caused by a lack of sunshine, perhaps the Bible can shed
a little light: During the Genesis Flood there would have been much volcanic and
earthquake activity worldwide, giving rise to warm ocean water leading to almost
universal cloud coverage for perhaps hundreds of years. This would have blocked
radiation from the sun, causing enormous snowfalls and bringing on the Ice Age. The
unfortunate Neanderthals would have been forced to live in dark caverns and caves
(hence, cave-men) to keep warm most of their lives, depriving themselves of what
little sunshine there was outside; hence, the rickets.
(Important side note: In Poland in 1909 a Neanderthal skeleton was found in a
suit of chain armor that was not yet fully rusted, indicating he was only a few
thousand years old, not a half-million.5)
Peking Man
Peking Man initially consisted of a single tooth unearthed in China when project funding was about to run out. The Rockefeller Foundation, hearing about it, offered $80,000 if more evidence could be found. A scull cap soon popped out of the ground, later assigned to a monkey.
Interestingly, fused soil was found at the site, which requires heat exceeding 1800o F. This suggested an elaborate furnace operation of some kind. Do monkeys and ape-men plan, design and build complex furnaces? Though modern textbooks mention ‘traces of primitive campfires,’ the ash pit was twenty feet deep.
They were intelligent, industrious, hard working human beings, nothing less.6
Ramapithecus
Ramapithecus was cobbled together from the bones and teeth of thirty different animals. Additional examination showed it to be a baboon.7
Cro-Magnon / Heidelberg Man
Once hailed as primitive links between man and beast, Cro-Magnon and Heidelberg Man are now classified as fully human. Curiously, however, Cro-Magnon’s brain and body was much bigger than modern humans, suggesting not evolution, but devolution, the Biblical view.
Cro-Magnons kept astronomy records and were excellent three-dimensional cave artists. Their drawings even showed females wearing dresses and wearing their hair tied up .8
Java Man
Java Man, discovered by Eugene Dubois, was a mountain of confusion. Among items found were
sculls, a thighbone and a few teeth scattered over a seventy-feet area. Two of the teeth were
assigned to an orangutan, a femur to a gibbon and a thighbone to a human. Two of the sculls looked
human, but when experts suggested the other bones looked human too, Dubois did the proper and
honorable thing—he hid the fossils.
Java Man was another piece of evidence used at the Scopes Monkey Trial.
In 1926, Java Man II was unearthed, consisting of a single scull bone that turned out to be a
kneecap of an elephant.9
Lady of Guadeloupe
Discovered in Caribbean limestone dating around 25 million years, this Lady lived 22 million years
before humans started evolving. Since limestone is a water-laid sediment, it’s more likely this poor
woman drowned in the Biblical Flood 45 hundred years ago, and was entombed in the sentiments as
the waters receded.10
Nebraska Man
Nebraska Man was fabricated from a tooth of an extinct pig.11
Southwest Colorado Man
Colorado Man was fabricated from a tooth of a horse (New York Times, 29 Dec. 1926, pp. 1–2).
Flipperpithecus
Flipperpithecus was fashioned from the rib of a dolphin.12
Orce Man
Orce Man, the oldest missing link in Eurasia, was fabricated from the scull os an ass.13
"An empty-headed man will be wise when the colt of a wild ass
is born a man." - Job 11:12
Such absurdities taught in our public schools are the lowest of the low, and a complete waste
waste of time and money. After 150 years of probing the earth and over 100 million fossils now
catalogued, evolutionists still cannot claim one single missing-link. The lack of transitional forms
can only mean one thing: man did not evolve from the chimp or ape, but was created in the very
Image of the Majestic Creator.
"God created man in His image; in the image of God He created him.”
- Genesis 1:27
In the early chapters of Genesis, the foundation of our beliefs and hopes lay, namely, Creation,
sin’s intrusion into God's perfect Creation, the Curse, man’s Fall and the promise of a Savior. If
Genesis falls, everything falls with it.
The first book of Holy Writ shows us our place in the cosmos and why the world is like it is; e.g.,,
why man suffers, never ending hardship, evil, depravity and in the end, death. Without this
understanding we grope in darkness for purpose and reason for our existence, and most importantly,
why we need a Savior.
Genesis also empowers us to counter error (inside and outside the church), and to remove the
cultural stumbling blocks that beset so many potential converts. Genesis is a powerful weapon, we
dare not ignore it.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God,
for pulling down strongholds.
- II Corinthians 10:4
