     THE SCIENTIFIC CASE FOR CREATION: 116 CATEGORIES OF EVIDENCE

I.  (Life Sciences): THE THEORY OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION IS INVALID.  (See
    1-36.)

II. (Astronomical Sciences): THE UNIVERSE, THE SOLAR SYSTEM, AND  LIFE
    WERE RECENTLY CREATED.

    A.  NATURALISTIC EXPLANATIONS  FOR  THE  EVOLUTION  OF  THE  SOLAR
        SYSTEM   AND   UNIVERSE   ARE   UNSCIENTIFIC   AND  HOPELESSLY
        INADEQUATE. (See 37-56.)

    B.  TECHNIQUES THAT ARGUE FOR AN OLD EARTH ARE EITHER ILLOGICAL OR
        ARE BASED ON UNREASONABLE ASSUMPTIONS.

       63.  Practically nowhere on the earth  can  one  find  the  so-
            called   ''geologic   column.''   [a]   In  fact,  on  the
            continents, over half  of  the  ''geologic  periods''  are
            ususally  missing,  and 15-20% of the earth's land surface
            has less than one-third of these periods appearing in  the
            ''correct''  order [b]. Even within the Grand Canyon, over
            200 million years of this imaginary  column  are  missing.
            Using  the  assumed  geologic  column  to date fossils and
            rocks is fallacious.

            a)  ''We are only kidding ourselves if we  think  that  we
                have  anything like a complete succession for any part
                of the stratigraphical  column  in  any  one  place.''

                RECORD, 2nd edition (New York: John  Wiley  and  Sons,
                Inc., 1981), p. 32.]

                Evolutionary-Uniformitarian    Geologic    Column:   A

                QUARTERLY, Vol.18, No.1, June 1981, pp. 46-71.

       64.  Since  1908,  human-like  footprints   have   been   found
            alongside  dinosaur  footprints  in the rock formations of
            the Paluxy riverbed in Texas [a-c].  A  similar  discovery
            has  occurred  in  the  Republic  of Turkmen in the Soviet
            Union [d]. Recently, near  the  Paluxy  River,  television
            cameras  have recorded the discovery of what appears to be
            new human, dinosaur, and saber-tooth tiger footprints,  as
            well  as  a  human  hand  print. This was found underneath
            slabs of UNDISTURBED limestone [e]. All of this  indicates
            that man and dinosaurs lived at the same time AND the same
            place.  But  evolutionists  claim  that  dinosaurs  became
            extinct about 65 million years before man supposedly began
            to evolve. Something is wrong.

                skeptical that the human-like prints were made by man.
                He  dismissed  the possibility since ''no man had ever
                existed  in  the  Age  of  Reptiles.''   However,   he
                acknowledged  talking with at least a dozen people who
                had seen what they called ''man tracks.'')
