(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. a) Rene Noorbergen, SECRETS OF THE LOST RACES (New York: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc., 1977), pp. 40-62. b) Harry V.
