Here are some introductory highlights of points made in the presentation, you’ll find many more ideas evidences images and so on in the full presentation.

How many pages of the Bible do we have to turn before we can find reliable truth?

The 98% similarity to chimp DNA claim: Chimps’ genomes are 4.3% bigger. This doesn’t match the claim of 98% similar DNA. They intentionally left out a lot of information. The real similarity is between 66 and 86%, which doesn’t allow for the hundreds of millions of changes in the time allotted for evolution. We also have similar genetic similarities to cows and dogs.

The general lack of ‘hominid’ fossils:
-Lucy is about 3 million years old. The claimed hominid fossils from 2 to 3 million years ago fit in a shoe box. This doesn’t give much evidence of transitions.
-Darwin admitted the lack of transitional fossils to be a strong point against his theory.
All of the hominid fossils could fit in the back of a pickup truck. This is all the evidence they have for the entire supposed human line. 
-The leading paleontologist on hominids says there are more scientists studying this than there are findings of it.
-He says the skulls you see on National Geographic are incredibly rare, there are only a few dozen of those; most of what they work with are tiny fragments of incomplete findings.

On the Ardi hominid claim:
-From 100 bones over a 30 ft radius.
-The picture they showcase is an enhanced computer animation; the actual bones found were in terrible shape.
-It took 3 years to dig up and 10 years to put together, and they said the bones were in terrible condition. None of the bones were found connected together.
-It has the same brain size as a chimp.
-They ran 11 different models of configurations, and chose the one that fit their theory.
-Based on what they selected from these 11 models, they say it walked up right because the vertebrae fit into the skull. However, the bones are missing the neck vertebrae, and missing the complete base of the skull where it would fit in.
-They say it must have walked up right based on the curve of the spine, but they are missing the spine, which they just estimated based on the pelvis.
-The pelvis wasn’t intact either. They reconstructed what they thought the pelvis would look like, and based on that, they made what they thought the spine would look like.
-It was digitally reconstructed 14 times before they chose the one they liked.
Many scientists disagree with the claims that this creature walked upright, citing a lack of evidence and excessive speculation.
-Her hands and feet look ape-like.
-The specimen clearly has the head etc. of a chimp, and they base their speculation that it was an upright walker on a because of a bump on the pelvis.

On the Lucy hominid claim:
-Lucy is considered the best hominid evidence and is paraded in textbooks as such.
-It is claimed that they found 400 of these but what they mean is not 400 specimens, but 400 bone pieces.
-30% of those pieces are teeth.
-They say they found 400 specimens like Lucy, but really, all they have is enough bones to fill a little bucket.
-Lucy was found spread over three meters on a hillside in hundreds of pieces.
-20 tons of sediment were sifted to find 20% of her bones.
-Artists have rendered Lucy as having human like hands human-like feet and white eyes, yet none of this was evident in the fossils.
-,Female chimps are the same height and weight as Lucy.
-They didn’t find Lucy’s skull, only skull fragments. Lucy discovers said that Lucy’s skull was almost entirely missing.

-There’s a bone at the bottom of Lucy’s skull, and they say it’s not supposed to be there; that might be from some other animal because it’s a typical monkey bone.
-The spine of the ape enters the skull at an angle, so they have to walk hunched down, and this is the type of vertebrae we have for Lucy.
-Lucy’s hands were very ape-like.
-They didn’t find any feet of Lucy, yet they put feet on the displays of Lucy, notably human feet.
-They found a human-like footprint and human bones a thousand miles away from the Lucy find and claimed that the print was of Lucy’s species.
-A recent study suggests that Lucy died falling from high up in a tree. What was she doing up there if she could walk?

On the Homo Habilis hominid claim:
-Habilis is claimed to come after Lucy in the evolutionary line.
-They’ve not found the complete creature, they have fewer than 100 pieces of what they think belongs to him. The creature is shown in museums around the world in complete form.
-The creature is shown with white (human-like) eyes.
-Human tools have been found by the creature, but it’s unknown if they were used by the creature or on the creature.
-Near the site there were many types of tools and many animals in the same dig as a formation known to have been made by nomadic people.
-There were many animals and tools outside the hut and many mounds; clearly, people were living there.
-The lead researcher said the area was a lot like what we see today.
The Stone tools were complex.

 

On the Neanderthal hominid claim:
-Next is Neanderthals. These were humans.
-DNA shows they lived and worked with humans.
-They were accepted in the same clan and community as humans.
-They have jewelry artwork weapons etc.
-They dived for shells, made musical instruments, and yet the museums and show them as foolish apes.

The (phylogenetic) tree of life connecting the species is guesswork and theoretical. Their own chart admits that there’s no direct fossil evidence connecting various hominid types.

Darwin’s finches are considered the top evidence for evolution. Different-sized beaks on different islands customized to different food sources available are merely adaptations. From there, they believe that adding millions of years will result in species change. It takes a lot of faith to believe that. We have thousands of years of recorded history, and no one has seen a new species emerge. There are various breeds of animals, but they can’t be crossbred with other species. DNA can be expressed differently without changing the DNA; this phenomenon, called epigenetics, explains the variation within a species, even within a couple of species.

The theory of evolution keeps changing. News articles continue to say that the missing link is still missing, and the tree of life connections continue to be redrawn.

We have many all-or-nothing systems. We have a conscience. For the system to work, you need the heart, blood, and veins at the same time; they couldn’t have evolved one at a time. Blood coagulation requires five complex steps and five complex systems. Without all that in place from the beginning, we would all bleed to death.

The age of the Earth is based on radiometric dating. Consider these three assumptions required for radiometric dating to work:
1. The rate of decay is an assumption. We don’t know the past decay rate or the possibility of different Earth environments.
2. Another assumption is the initial amount of the parent element.
3. A third assumption is the initial amount of the daughter element.

Rocks formed from a volcanic eruption witnessed by man, in theory, would give a radiometric age the same as the known age. However, when these studies are done, radiometric dating misses the known age by millions of years. A 10-year-old rock from the Mount St Helens eruption was radiometrically dated to about 2 million years.

The Bible is clear: Generations are given back to Adam, and Adam is made by God, not evolved from an ape-like creature.

They say Pangaea split into the current configuration over millions of years based on how fast the plates are moving today. But consider the Morrison formation, 13 states in the middle of the US have many Marine creatures. Modern Science says these dinosaurs were from a comet hitting around Mexico, thousands of miles away from the target site. This great distance is troubling, as is the fact that the bones are buried under multiple layers of watery sediment. Widespread vulcanism contributing to the extinction event is another indicator that the extinction was rapid and catastrophic. 

Over the last few decades, scientists have been discovering soft tissue in dinosaur bones. Over 50 peer-reviewed secular science journals have reported on 14 bioorganic materials found in dinosaur bones. They find blood cells, blood vessels, connective tissue, and collagen, which has a maximum shelf life of just tens of thousands of years. Yet these bones are supposedly 65 million years old. Many dinosaur fossils still contain original bones that haven’t turned into rock. And we find dinosaur bones that are bones, not fossilized rocks.

When so-called living fossils are found, they are explained away, saying evolution paused with this animal. In 1938, a live Coelacanth was found in Madagascar. This animal was considered a transitional creature between fish and amphibians. So, was the law of thermodynamics breaking down the system idle for millions of years? Not even a living large dinosaur would dissuade evolutionists from their dogmatic insistence on ancient dinosaurs and an old Earth, as we see by already having discovered ‘living fossils.’

The Bible says in the beginning God made them male and female. This gets rid of evolution from the start, they weren’t made as primates.

Note: The existence of an evolutionist who allows a creationist to talk and sometimes sympathizes with their viewpoints (as seen in this docudrama) is probably as fictitious as the hominids!
