LIFE APPEARS TODAY 3 BILLION YEARS AGO BIG BANG 20 BILLION YEARS AGO EARTH FORMED MAN EVOLVED 4.6 BILLION YEARS AGO 3 MILLION YEARS AGO TODAY CREATION FLOOD CHRIST 6 ,000 YEARS AGO 4 THOUSAND B.C. 4,400 YEARS AGO 0 A.D. “Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.” Luke 6:22 “I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” John 17:14 The News & Advance | Wednesday, May 28, 2014 | Sherese Gore Amherst school board hopefuls speak at meeting “Chairman Jones Stanley is seeking third term on the school board after serving as trustee since 2006. Edward Olivares, of Monroe, is challenging Stanley for his seat as the District 3 representative to the school board.” [Olivares is a native of the Philippines, moved to U.S. at age 12 and is a graduate of U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He became interested in serving on the school board while serving as a substitute teacher with Amherst County Public Schools.] The News & Advance | Wednesday, May 28, 2014 | Sherese Gore Amherst school board hopefuls speak at meeting “During that time, Olivares said he became concerned with science textbooks that state global warming is caused by human activity and those that teach Darwinian evolution. As part of the school board, he said he would like to review the divisions textbooks.” “Olivares said he also is concerned with Darwinian evolution ‘being taught as fact and settled science which it is not.’ Single-celled organisms have not changed significantly through the millions of years they say evolution has taken place.” “It is a theory, and that theory is being blown apart,” Olivares said. The News & Advance | Wednesday, June 18, 2014 | Sherese Gore Supervisors vote not to reappoint Stanley to school board “During the two votes – the reappointment of Stanley and the appointment of Olivares – supervisors Don Kidd, John Marks and David Pugh voted against the candidates and supervisors Claudia Tucker and Robert Curd voted in favor.” “In an emailed statement, Pugh wrote he wanted a candidate for the District 3 opening that would be a team player and willing to work with others of different viewpoints. Based on the candidates answers during the public interview on June 3, Pugh wrote he found neither candidate appropriate for appointment.” The News & Advance | Wednesday, June 18, 2014 | Sherese Gore Supervisors vote not to reappoint Stanley to school board “…I found that neither one of these candidates displayed the characteristics and temperament that would allow the County of Amherst to evolve and grow to provide the best Education at the best cost to our students, families, and taxpayers,” Pugh wrote. “During Tuesday’s meeting, Kidd said he received numerous emails from constituents concerned about Olivares. ‘It was almost like he had his own personal agenda,’ Kidd said. Marks said he did not agree with all of Olivares’ philosophies. The News & Advance | Wednesday, June 18, 2014 | Sherese Gore Supervisors vote not to reappoint Stanley to school board “The Amherst Education Association, an advocacy group of about 100 school employees, seeks a referendum on the November ballot to elect school board members. More than 2,000 signatures must be collected by September to be placed on this year’s ballot.” • The Public Education System is very protective of its own power and its monopoly on the influence it holds over our young people. • Differing viewpoints, especially ones that challenge the status quo, are strongly discouraged. The system discourages free and critical thinking and leads towards a condition known as “groupthink.” By suppressing dissenting views and isolating themselves from outside influences they lock themselves into a system of thought which discourages independent thinking and creativity. • Qualifications include being a “team-player” and “tolerant of other viewpoints.” Translation: Be a good comrade and don’t rock the boat! • The Public Education System is very protective of its own power and its monopoly on the influence it holds over our young people. • Differing viewpoints, especially ones that challenge the status quo, are strongly discouraged.

For more on how the institutions of higher learning are circling the wagons to protect their endangered evolutionary theory, watch BEN STEIN’S EXPELLED No Intelligence Allowed “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Psalm 1:1-2 We pay taxes so our school systems can use proven lies to promote evolution in the classroom. “Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.” Proverbs 26:4 “Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.” Proverbs 26:5 “Basic evidence for evolution still stands after 150 years” 1.

EVOLUTIONARY “EVIDENCE” • Fossil Record • Comparative Anatomy • Genetics • Biogeography • Examples of “recent” evolution Richard Dawkins, Evolutionary Biologist DOES THE FOSSIL RECORD SUPPORT EVOLUTION? The fossil record has turned out to be a complete embarrassment for evolutionists. EVOLUTIONARY “EVIDENCE” • Fossil Record • Comparative Anatomy • Genetics • Biogeography • Examples of “recent” evolution “The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils.” Stephen Jay Gould Harvard University “Evolution’s Erratic Pace” Natural History Vol. 5 May 1977 “Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain, and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory.” Charles Darwin The Origin of Species…p. 280 • Uniformitarianism • The Geologic Column • Circular Dating Methods • Fossils are a portal to the past • Sedimentation takes millions of years • Fossils prove descendency • Strange fossilized remains indicate a “missing link” DOES HOMOLOGY SUPPORT EVOLUTION? EVOLUTIONARY “EVIDENCE” How can similar structures prove relationship? • Fossil Record • Comparative Anatomy • Genetics • Biogeography • Examples of “recent” evolution EVOLUTIONARY “EVIDENCE” • Fossil Record • Comparative Anatomy • Genetics • Biogeography • Examples of “recent” evolution wrist bones diagram Glenco Biol p 309 and Holt Biol p.182 in suitcase) Glencoe Biology, 1994 p. 309 This is their EVIDENCE for how one creature evolved into another creature?! The bones develop from different genes in different organisms. Evolutionists cannot explain this and seldom discuss it. Similar design might be evidence that the same Designer made them. DOES EMBRYOLOGY SUPPORT EVOLUTION? Earnest Haeckel’s fake drawings of embryos EVOLUTIONARY “EVIDENCE” • Fossil Record • Comparative Anatomy • Genetics • Biogeography • Examples of “recent” evolution DOES EMBRYOLOGY SUPPORT EVOLUTION? “The similarity between early stages in the development of many different animals helped convince Darwin that all forms of life shared common ancestors.” “Darwin considered this ‘by far the strongest single class of facts in favor of’ his theory.” Icons of Evolution, p. 82 DOES EMBRYOLOGY SUPPORT EVOLUTION? A set of 19th century drawings that still appear in reference books…are badly misdrawn, says an embryologist in Britain. Although Haeckel confessed to drawing from memory and was convicted of fraud at the University of Jena, the drawings persist. “That’s the real mystery,” says Richardson. (of St. George’s Hospital Medical School in London) New Scientist Sept. 6, 1997 p. 23 DOES GENETICS SUPPORT EVOLUTION? It is commonly believed that genetics is on the side of evolution. EVOLUTIONARY “EVIDENCE” • Fossil Record • Comparative Anatomy • Genetics • Biogeography • Examples of “recent” evolution Evolution is based on two faulty assumptions: 1. mutations make something new 2. natural selection makes it survive and take over the population. “No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution.” Pierre-Paul Grasse, Evolution of Living Organisms 1977, p. 88 They rearrange existing information but do not increase genetic complexity. A five legged bull No new information added No new information added, only a *** Mutated sheep ( ch 21 loss of information textbook ? ) Allyn and Bacon Biology 1977 p. 364 Two headed turtle Mutant but not Ninja! From the letters in the word Christmas you can get: has, mat, Sam, Christ, ram, sat, hit, etc. but you cannot get: Xerox, Zebra or Queen! Natural Selection only SELECTS; it does not CREATE new information! “Natural selection can act only on those biologic properties that already exist; it cannot create properties in order to meet adaptational needs.” Parasitology, 6th ed. Lea & Febiger, p. 516. DOES BIOGEOGRAPHY SUPPORT EVOLUTION? Does the dispersion of indigenous animals prove evolution? EVOLUTIONARY “EVIDENCE” • Fossil Record • Comparative Anatomy • Genetics • Biogeography • Examples of “recent” evolution DOES BIOGEOGRAPHY SUPPORT EVOLUTION? 1. They minimize the great differences between species and emphasize the similarities. 2. The Continental Drift theory is often used to explain evolution. EVOLUTIONARY “EVIDENCE” • Fossil Record • Comparative Anatomy • Genetics • Biogeography • Examples of “recent” evolution DOES BIOGEOGRAPHY SUPPORT CREATION? 1. In a post-flood world, flora and fauna could be transported transoceanically on vegetation mats, or ice bridges, or transported by man. 2. Migration to new habitats and partial extinction. 3. Speciation (adaptation to new climate) EVOLUTIONARY “EVIDENCE” • Fossil Record • Comparative Anatomy • Genetics • Biogeography • Examples of “recent” evolution
