(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.''

Ager, THE NATURE OF THE STRATIGRAPHICAL RECORD, 2nd edition (New York: John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1981), p. 32.] b) John Woodmorappe, ''The Essential Nonexistence of the Evolutionary-Uniformitarian Geologic Column: A Quantitative Assessment,'' CREATION RESEARCH SOCIETY 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. a) John Morris, TRACKING THOSE INCREDIBLE DINOSAURS (San Diego: Creation Life Publishers, 1980). b) Frederick P.

Bird was 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.'') d) Cr. V.
