Evolutionary Myth: Humans have been around for more than one million years.

The Truth: If people have been on earth for a million years, there would be trillions of people on the earth
today, even if we allowed for worst-case plagues, natural disasters, etc. The number of people on earth today
is about 6.5 billion. If the population had grown at only a 0.01% rate (today’s rate is over 1%) over 1 million
years, there could be 1043 people today (that’s a number with 43 zeros after it)! Repopulating the earth after
the Flood would only require a population growth rate of 0.5%, half of what it is today.
John D. Morris, The Young Earth (Colorado Springs: Creation Life Publishers, 1994), pp. 70–71. See also “Billions of People in Thousands of
Years?” at [Link]/go/billions-of-people.

Evolutionary Myth: Man evolved from an ape-like creature.

The Truth: All so-called “missing links” showing human evolution from apes have been shown to be either
apes, humans, or deliberate hoaxes. These links remain missing.
Duane T. Gish, The Amazing Story of Creation from Science and the Bible (El Cajon: Institute for Creation Research, 1990), pp. 78–83.

Evolutionary Myth: All animals evolved from lower life forms.

The Truth: While Darwin predicted that the fossil record would show numerous transitional fossils, even
more than 145 years later, all we have are a handful of disputable examples. For example, there are no fossils
showing something that is part way between a dinosaur and a bird. Fossils show that a snail has always
been a snail; a squid has always been a squid. God created each animal to reproduce after its kind (Genesis
1:20–25).
Ibid., pp. 36, 53–60.

Evolutionary Myth: Dinosaurs evolved into birds.

The Truth: Flying birds have streamlined bodies, with the weight centralized for balance in flight; hollow
bones for lightness, which are also part of their breathing system; powerful muscles for flight; and very sharp
vision. And birds have two of the most brilliantly-designed structures in nature—their feathers and special
lungs. It is impossible to believe that a reptile could make that many changes over time and still survive.
Gregory Parker et al., Biology: God’s Living Creation (Pensacola: A Beka Book, 1997), pp. 474–475.

Evolutionary Myth: Thousands of changes over millions of years resulted in the creatures we see today.

The Truth: What is now known about human and animal anatomy shows the body structures, from the
cells to systems, to be infinitely more complex than was believed when Darwin published his work in 1859.
Many biologists and especially microbiologists are now saying that there is no way these complex structures
could have developed by natural processes.
Ibid., pp. 384–385.
