     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.

       65.  Many different people have found, at different  times  and
            places,  man-made  artifacts  encased  in  coal.  Examples
            include an 8-carat  gold  chain  [a-c],  a  spoon  [b],  a
            thimble,  an  iron  pot  [d], a bell, and other objects of
            obvious human  manufacture.  Many  other  ''out  of  place
            artifacts'' such as a metallic vase, a screw, nails [a], a
            strange coin [c], a doll [c,e], and others [f]  have  been
            found  buried deeply in solid rock. By evolutionary dating
            techniques, these objects would be hundreds of millions of
            years  old;  but  man  supposedly  did not begin to evolve
            until 2-4 million years ago. Again, something is wrong.
