Human Evolution? "imagination must fill up many wide blanks" (CHARLES DARWIN, letter to Asa Gray, September 5th, 1857) "The world of paleoanthropology is highly contentious, and scientists have been trying for many decades to sort out the murky ancestry of today's human race by comparing thousands of fossil bones and skulls. But no evidence is certain and no lineages are clear." (DAVID PERLMAN, http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/07/0712_ethiopianbones.html) David Pilbeam [a well-known expert in human evolution] comments wryly, "If you brought in a smart scientist from another discipline and showed him the meagre evidence we've got he'd surely say, 'forget it: there isn't enough to go on'." (RICHARD E. LEAKEY, The Making of Mankind, Michael Joseph Limited, London, 1981, p. 43) "The problem with a lot of anthropologists is that they want so much to find a hominid that any scrap of bone becomes a hominid bone." (DR TIM WHITE quoted in Ian Anderson, "Hominoid collarbone exposed as dolphin's rib", in New Scientist, 28 April 1983, p. 199) "...the Australopithecines known over the last several decades...are now irrevocably removed from a place in the evolution of human bipedalism, possibly from a place in a group any closer to humans than to African apes and certainly from any place in the direct human lineage" (DR. CHARLES OXNARD, The Order of Man, Yale University Press, p. 332) "The phylogenetic outlook suggests that if there weren't a Homo habilis we would have to invent one" (MILFORD H WOLPOFF (University of Michigan), American Journal of Physical Anthropology 89, No. 3, Nov 1992, p.104) "To attempt to restore the soft parts is an even more hazardous undertaking. The lips, the eyes, the ears, and the nasal tip, leave no clues on the underlying bony parts. You can with equal facility model on a Neanderthaloid skull the features of a chimpanzee or the lineaments of a philosopher. These alleged restorations of ancient types of man have very little if any scientific value and are likely only to mislead the public.... So put not your trust in reconstructions." (EARNST A. HOOTEN, Harvard, Up From the Ape, p.332) "...perhaps generations of students of human evolution, including myself, have been flailing about in the dark; that our data base is too sparse, too slippery, for it to be able to mold our theories. Rather the theories are more statements about us and ideology than about the past. Paleoanthropology reveals more about how humans view themselves than it does about how humans came about. But that is heresy." (DR. DAVID PILBEAM, American Scientist, 66:379, May-June 1978) Other Quotes: "Fossil evidence of human evolutionary history is fragmentary and open to various interpretations. Fossil evidence of chimpanzee evolution is absent altogether". (Henry Gee (evolutionist), "Return to the Planet of the Apes," Nature, Vol. 412, 12 July 2001, p. 131.) "Modern apes, for instance, seem to have sprung out of nowhere. They have no yesterday, no fossil record. And the true origin of modern humans - of upright, naked, tool-making, big-brained beings - is, if we are to be honest with ourselves, an equally mysterious matter." (Dr. Lyall Watson, Anthropologist. 'The water people'.

C14, "Accepted Dates are Actually Selected Dates" Fingerprints of Creation video destroys the dating methods used by evolutionists. http://www.nwcreation.net/videos/fingerprints_of_creation.html The results of Dr. Robert V. Gentry's investigations have been published in leading scientific journals; Science, Nature, Geophysical Research Letters, Earth And Planetary Science Letters, Physical Review Letters, and Annual Review Of Nuclear Letters and are subject to peer review by evolutionary scientists. We are seeking permission to upload this video. "The troubles with the radio carbon dating methods are undeniably deep and serious, just like thirty five years of technological refinements and better understanding. The underlying assumptions have been strongly challenged and warnings throughout the radio carbon may soon find itself in a crisis situation. Continuing use of the method depends on a fix it as we go approach allowing for contamination, fractionation, and calibration whenever possible, it should be no surprise then, fully half of the dates are rejected. The wonder is surely, the remaining half become to be accepted. No matter how useful it is, the radio carbon method is still not capable of yielding accurate and reliable results. There are gross discrepancies, the chronology is uneven and relative and the accepted dates are actually selected dates." Robert Lee, "Radio Carbon Ages in Error", Anthropological Journal of Canada, Vol 19, 3 p. 9 & 29. "It may come as a shock to some, but fewer than 50 percent of the radiocarbon dates from geological and archaeological samples in northeastern North America have been adopted as 'acceptable' by investigators."—*J. Ogden III, "The Use and Abuse of Radiocarbon," in Annals of the New York Academy of Science, Vol. 288, 1977, pp. 167-173. "C-14 dating was being discussed at a symposium on the prehistory of the Nile Valley. A famous American colleague, Professor Brew, briefly summarized a common attitude among archaeologists toward it, as follows: 'If a C-14 date supports our theories, we put it in the main text. If it does not entirely contradict them, we put it in a footnote. And if it is completely 'out-of-date,' we just drop it."—*T. Save-Soderbergh and *Ingrid U. Olsson, "C-14 Dating and Egyptian Chronology," Radiocarbon Variations and Absolute Chronology, ed. *Ingrid U. Olsson (1970), p. 35 [also in *Pensee, 3(1): 44]. "Several laboratories in the world are now equipped to perform a much improved radiocarbon dating procedure. Using atomic accelerators, the carbon-14 atoms in a specimen can now be actually counted. This gives more precise radiocarbon dates with even smaller specimens. The standard, but less accurate, radiocarbon dating technique only attempts to count the rare disintegrations of carbon-14 atoms, which are sometimes confused with other types of disintegrations. This new atomic accelerator technique has consistently detected at least small amounts of carbon-14 in every organic specimen—even materials that evolutionists claim are millions of years old, such as coal. The minimum amount of carbon-14 is so consistent that contamination can probably be ruled out. If the specimens were millions of years old, there would be virtually no carbon-14 remaining in them. "Eleven human skeletons, the earliest known human remains in the Western hemisphere, have recently been dated by this new accelerator mass spectrometer technique. All eleven were dated at about 5,000 radiocarbon years or less! If more of the claimed evolutionary ancestors of man are tested and are also found to contain carbon-14, a major scientific revolution will occur and thousands of textbooks will become obsolete."—Walter T. Brown, In the Beginning (1989), p. 95.
