The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved in 50 Arguments
Williams, William A. (William Asbury)
Evolution
Dr. Chapin says, “The first important discovery of the existence of an
early example of mankind differing markedly from any living (?) and of
a decidedly lower type, was made in 1857, when a part of a skull was
found in a cave near Dusseldorf, Germany. The bones consisted of the
upper portion of a cranium, remarkable for its flat retreating curve,
the upper arm and thigh bones, a collar bone, and rib fragments.” From
these fragments, an ape-man has been created (by the artist), about 5
ft. 3 in. high, strong, fierce in look, and having other
characteristics created by the artist.
Dr. Osborn assigns to the Neanderthal skull a capacity of 1408 c.c.,
which would indicate that he lived 3,680,000 years ago, if life began
60,000,000 years ago; or 30,666,666 years ago, if life began
500,000,000 years ago.
From the first, many naturalists claimed that these bones belonged to
an abnormal specimen of humanity. They can be easily duplicated.
Naturalists have maintained many divergent opinions: an idiot, an early
German, a Cossack, a European of various other nationalities, a
Mongolian, a primitive ape-man, an ancestor of modern man, and an
impossible ancestor of man. Not very reliable evidence to support the
stupendous scheme of evolution!
Now these four finds are the weak props supporting the desperate claim
of the brute origin of man. Dr. Chapin says (Social Evolution, p. 68):
“Other skulls and bone parts of prehistoric man have been found, and
preserved in museums, but the specimens described (the four above
mentioned) are sufficient to illustrate _the type of evidence_ they
constitute.” The later finds measuring close to normal capacity,
doubtless are the bones of the descendants of Adam. Even by the
admission of this text-book author, the evidence from other remains is
no more convincing than that from these four types. Some evolutionists
say that the pithecanthropus, the Heidelberg man, the Piltdown man, and
the Neanderthal man, form an unbroken line of descent from the ape,
each in turn becoming less like the ape, and more like man. Others
claim that the pithecanthropus was the end of a special branch of the
apes; the Heidelberg man the last of another extinct branch; the
Piltdown man and the Neanderthal man, likewise the last of other
extinct species. In this case, all four finds have no evidential value
whatever. All these confusing guesses from evidence so scant and
uncertain, stamp evolution a “science falsely so called.”
