Is
Archaeopteryx
a Fraud?
Archie, say it ain't so! By Dr. Brown, recounts the charge
of fraud leveled against the famous mosaic fossil in the 1980's. I consider the
claim unlikely personally, but interesting enough to warrant mention, so with
that warning go ahead...
Australopithecus ramidus
This find
was reported in newspapers around the world as a critical missing link showing
the connection between apes and humans; did your newspaper follow up with a
retraction? By EJB.

Evolution?
From
ChristianAnswers.Net. Brief treatment of this old but common
interpretation of evidence in an evolutionary perspective.
Human
Fossils in Flood Strata?
From ChristianAnswers.Net.
Geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling gives some reasons why we shouldn't expect human
fossils to be commonly found with, for example, dinosaurs.

The Paluxy River
Mystery
Impact #151, by Dr. John Morris. A cautionary note
regarding claims of human and dinosaur footprints found together at the Paluxy
site.
Pollen Found in Precambrian
Rock
By Drs. Emmett Williams, George Howe, Eugene Chaffin, et al.
A response to (partly dishonest) criticism of reports of pollen found in
precambrian strata. I am skeptical of the full implication of these reports,
but I don't appreciate the incompetent criticisms of anti-creationists so I
encourage folks to study this response along with the original reports before
making up their mind.
Scientific
Evidence for the Origin of Man
Dr. Menton goes over some of the
evidence, past and present, as interpreted by evolutionists for the origin of
humankind.
Startling Discoveries
Support Creation
Impact #171, by Dr. Duane Gish. An
overview of some discoveries from the mid-80's (when this was written), such as
the "225 million" year old modern-type birds that have been reported.
As I write this, claims of a "121 million" year old feathered (?)
dinosaur are making headlines. Refresh my memory: are evolutionists trying to
claim birds evolved from dinosaurs, or INTO dinosaurs? :-)
10/29:
I'll be writing an "expose" soon showing how the media has
misrepresented the evidence regarding the putative "feathered"
compsagnathid to give the lay reader the impression evidence for evolution has
been found. (12/2: Got the source data; just have to get around to writing it
up...)(3/27/97: OK, so I forgot :-) (Seriously, someday I'll post this, faster
if someone asks for it. In the meantime, here is one quote from Univ. of Kansas
paleontologist regarding the "feathered dinosaur" claim: "We
generally get more hard evidence with alien abductions than we have here."
CEN 19(2):6)
When is a Whale a
Whale?
Impact #250, by Dr. Duane Gish.
"The
mesonychids were wolf-like, hoofed carnivores that, as far as anyone knows,
never went near the water. Carroll states, "Mesonyx was the size and
proportions of a wolf and, perhaps, had a similar way of life." Carroll
and others believe that the skull shape and the dentition of what they think
were early whales resembled mesonychids. They therefore have adopted the
mesonychids as the land mammal from which whales evolved. Now Carroll suggests
we place the mesonychids in the Cetacea. Presto! These wolf-like animals are now
whales! Who says evolutionists have no transitional forms?"
Where
Are All the Human Fossils?
If Humans lived before the Cataclysm that
created most of the geologic record, shouldn't we find human fossils buried all
through it? By Dr. Andrew Snelling in Creation Ex Nihilo.
