The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved in 50 Arguments
Williams, William A. (William Asbury)
Evolution
1. Evolutionists say that mammals are descended from some reptiles,
unknown, of course, and birds from others, also unknown. Mammals differ
from reptiles in having breasts (Latin, mammae), a four chambered heart
instead of three, a coat of hair or fur or wool, and a womb for the
young. The temperature of the blood of reptiles is as low as 60 and
even 40 degrees, since the temperature of the blood is about the same
as the environment, sometimes approaching the freezing point. But
mammals have a temperature approaching 100°. We are to believe that one
progressive branch of reptiles, which passed through the sieve of
natural selection, during the Permian Ice Age, was capable of being
adapted to the colder climate. But this mighty chasm between reptiles
and mammals was crossed unaided by any external interference, unaided
by God; then the mammals groped their way, without intelligence or
design, up to man! The difficulties are too great to satisfy the
serious student. No satisfactory explanation has been given. No
fossils, part reptile, part mammal, have been found. We would naturally
expect millions of them. Evidently none ever existed. How could such
radical changes be brought about? What caused the development of hair,
fur and wool? The change in the heart, and the temperature, the
formation of the mammae and of the womb? There is no evidence of such
change. But it is necessary to the scheme.
2. Some reptiles became birds, they say; whether a pair for each of the
12,000 species of birds or one pair for all, we can not learn. For
nobody knows. They would like for us to believe that these cold-blooded
reptiles with a temperature of 40 to 60 degrees became birds with a
temperature as high as 107; that wings and feathers were developed,
which must have been perfectly useless through the long ages during
which they were developing; that the wonderful contrivances in the
wings and feathers were made by senseless reptiles that did not know
what they were doing. Reptiles have a three-chambered heart, making
them cold-blooded. Birds have a four-chambered heart, and a temperature
higher than that of man. Reptiles left their eggs to hatch in the sun.
Birds, by a fine instinct, built their nests with care. Some reptiles
have 4 feet, some 2, some none. All birds have two feet. The bird’s
structure is so well suited for flight and shows the marks of design so
clearly, that the clumsy aeroplane is but a poor imitation. Yet to link
the 12,000 species of birds to their unknown reptilian ancestors, they
show us two fossils of the archæopteryx, as the sum total of the
evidence showing the transition from reptiles to birds. The fossil
varies slightly but not essentially from other birds. It has a
feathered tail, some teeth and claws. It is probably not a connecting
link at all, and if it were, we would expect a million fossils of
connecting links. All these nine transmutations are devoid of a single
