Sources of
data in the Paperback-
This paperback is an
abridgement of our much larger, 3-volume, 1,326-page, 8½
x 11, Evolution Disproved Series. Students and researchers will want to
use both this paperback and the larger set (now on our website), in digging
deeper into the subject and in the preparation of study papers.
Survey the field, narrow
your search, and select a topic. Browse through the material in this book. Use the table of
contents to help you. Locate a topic of special interest. Read the chapter and
related material which most nearly deals with that subject. Decide how narrow
or broad you want to make your report (that is, how many different things you
want to include).
Deepen your research:
Search the index in this
paperback for
further information on key points mentioned in the chapter. Look up key words
about your research topic. They will lead you to other key words to check on. For
example: Index fossils might lead you to trilobites which, among
other things, will lead you to evidence that humans lived during the Cambrian
period when trilobites did.
From time to time, special new
articles are added to our website. So you will want to check it every so often.
Download sections which you can
use into your computer or, without downloading, use your computer printer to
print out sections which you think may help you in your research. Include data
from this paperback, to help you write your report. You have our permission to
copy anything from our website.
Go to the section on our
website which lists other Creationist Organizations. Following those links will lead you to
source material they might have, plus books they sell. You might also wish to
join a nearby Creationist Organization. Following those links will lead you to

Later use of this
important information:
Now, or in later years, you are
going to be confronted with evolutionary errors, whether or not they are in the
field of your research project. Therefore it is vital that you keep this
paperback as a permanent possession! Become thoroughly acquainted with it. Show
it to others. A small case of these paperbacks costs very little, and you
can give or sell them to your friends. They need this information too. Turn
to the back of this book for prices at the time of the latest print-run (prices
may change later, due to inflation). In case the back pages are missing, our
address is also given on the bottom of pp. 2 and 12.
This paperback includes
several reference helps:
1 - * An asterisk before
a name indicates that the person named and/or quoted is not known to be a
creationist.
2 - Underlined portions
are especially helpful in focusing your attention on key points, especially
those which directly disprove evolutionary theory.
3 - (*#1/19 Scientists
Oppose the Explosion Theory*) Example: This reference is found in our chapter on the
Big Bang. Go to the same chapter title on our website. Then go to its Appendix
1. You will there find 19 more quotations, plus other data. Example:
This reference is found in our chapter on the Big Bang. Go to the same chapter
title on our website. Then go to its Appendix 1. You will there find 19 more
quotations, plus other data.
4 - A very helpful Index
is at the back of this book. A good index is always a great help in finding
things.
5 - The Table of Contents
contains subheadings which, along with the chapter title,
quickly indicates the main point of the chapter.
6 - The 23 pages of sketches
and photographs in this paperback have been especially selected from the
more than a hundred in our 3-volume set. They greatly help in clarifying the
facts. You have our permission to reprint them. They are listed on pp. 6-7.
7 - The 30 nature nuggets
provide convincing proof that the natural world was created, and did not
evolve. The pages where they are listed is at the top
of p. 916.
8 - * An asterisk before
a name indicates that the person named and/or quoted is not known to be a
creationist.
You will also find special
topics and studies on our website. From time to time, new ones are added.
A source list of
Creationist books, Evolutionist books (written by evolutionists against
Evolution), Evolutionist Periodical Articles, and Special Collections is on our
website.
Also included is a fairly
recent list of Creation-Science Organizations and how to contact them.
Lastly, there is a bookstore,
where you can securely order copies of this paperback, the 3-volume set (while
they last), and other items.
MATERIAL OMITTED FROM THIS PAPERBACK
The following material,
which is omitted from this paperback, is included in our 3-volume encyclopedia
on our website:
Chapter
11, Cellular Evolution. This
material was omitted from this paperback since, although it described some of
the marvelous intricacies of the cell, it was actually a "design
chapter" and not replying to specific evolutionary claims.
Chapter 26
- Paleomagnetism. The entire chapter will be found on our
website. The entire chapter will be found on our website.
Chapter 27
- Geographic Distribution.
Chapter 30
- The Scopes Trial.
Only a brief paragraph of this excellent coverage is in this paperback (Chapter
1).
Chapter 31 - Scientists
Speak. Only a few of
the large number of statements by scientists and evolutionists are included in
this paperback.
Chapter 34
- Evolution and Education. Only a few paragraphs (on opinion polls) are in this paperback
(Chapter 1).
Chapter 35
- Archaeological Dating. The entire chapter will be found on our website. The entire
chapter will be found on our website.
Chapter 37
- Philosophy of Evolution. *Karl Popper is the leading "evolutionary
philosopher," and his "testability" definition of true science
rules out evolutionary theory.
Chapter 38
- Fallacies of Evolution. Fallacies of logic are discussed here, and they apply perfectly
to evolutionary claims.
Chapter 39 - Chronology of
the Ancient Near East. The researcher might find this list
handy. An approximate list of dates is given, going back 6000 years.
Chapters 4 - Matter and
Stars, last part on
stars, galactic systems, and a section on space travel is omitted.
Also omitted from this paperback are nearly all the
large collection of material in the following chapters in the 3-volume set and
in our website: Chapters 8 (The Earth), 12 (Plants), 16
(Invertebrates), 20 (Amphibians and Reptiles), 24 (Fish), 28 (Birds), 32
(Marsupials and Mammals), 36 (Man), and 40 (More Wonders of Design). These
are all "design chapters," and show what is
actually the most powerful argument of all for Creation: the
"argument by design." The wonders of nature not only testify to the
fact that evolutionary claims and mechanisms are fallacious, but they clearly
point to the fact that they were created by an Intelligence
with massive capabilities. These design chapters essentially consist of a large
number of "nature nuggets;" facts about some of the many astounding
things in nature which testify to the Creatorship of God.
The following information, not in this paperback, will be found
at the back of both the 3-Volume set and our website collection:
Biographies of Creation
Scientists
Creation Classics
Creationist Books (Scientific
aspects)
Books by Evolutionists against
Evolution
Creationist Books (Biblical
aspects)
Evolutionist Periodical
Articles
Special Collections

you wish to prepare a report based on a single field of study, the following
source list will help you.
Key:

EVOLUTION COULD NOT DO THIS
One research scientist,
*T.A. McMahon, worked out the formula for the general size and height of trees.
The mathematical formula goes something like this: "The diameter of trees
will vary with height raised to the 3/2 power; that is the length times the
square root of the length." That is surely a lot for a simple-minded tree,
without any brains to keep track of. Here is more of the formula: "The
mean height trees obtain is only about 25 percent of that which they could
obtain and still not buckle. In other words, trees are designed with a safety
factor of about four." Someone very intelligent did the designing. We
should not expect that the trees figured it out.
This concludes Evolution
