This paperback is an abridgement of our much larger, 3-volume, 1,326-page, 8˝ x 11, Evolution Disproved Series. Students and researchers will want to use both this paperback and the larger set (now on our website), in digging deeper into the subject and in the preparation of study papers.

HOW TO DO RESEARCH WORK

Survey the field, narrow your search, and select a topic. Browse through the material in this book. Use the table of contents to help you. Locate a topic of special interest. Read the chapter and related material which most nearly deals with that subject. Decide how narrow or broad you want to make your report (that is, how many different things you want to include).

Deepen your research:

Search the index in this paperback for further information on key points mentioned in the chapter. Look up key words about your research topic. They will lead you to other key words to check on. For example: Index fossils might lead you to trilobites which, among other things, will lead you to evidence that humans lived during the Cambrian period when trilobites did. 

From time to time, special new articles are added to our website. So you will want to check it every so often.

Download sections which you can use into your computer or, without downloading, use your computer printer to print out sections which you think may help you in your research. Include data from this paperback, to help you write your report. You have our permission to copy anything from our website.

Go to the section on our website which lists other Creationist Organizations. Following those links will lead you to source material they might have, plus books they sell. You might also wish to join a nearby Creationist Organization. Following those links will lead you to source material they might have, plus books they sell. You might also wish to join a nearby Creationist Organization.

Later use of this important information:

Now, or in later years, you are going to be confronted with evolutionary errors, whether or not they are in the field of your research project. Therefore it is vital that you keep this paperback as a permanent possession! Become thoroughly acquainted with it. Show it to others. A small case of these paperbacks costs very little, and you can give or sell them to your friends. They need this information too. Turn to the back of this book for prices at the time of the latest print-run (prices may change later, due to inflation). In case the back pages are missing, our address is also given on the bottom of pp. 2 and 12.

REFERENCE HELPS

This paperback includes several reference helps:

1 - * An asterisk before a name indicates that the person named and/or quoted is not known to be a creationist.

2 - Underlined portions are especially helpful in focusing your attention on key points, especially those which directly disprove evolutionary theory.

3 - (*#1/19 Scientists Oppose the Explosion Theory*) Example: This reference is found in our chapter on the Big Bang. Go to the same chapter title on our website. Then go to its Appendix 1. You will there find 19 more quotations, plus other data. Example: This reference is found in our chapter on the Big Bang. Go to the same chapter title on our website. Then go to its Appendix 1. You will there find 19 more quotations, plus other data.

4 - A very helpful Index is at the back of this book. A good index is always a great help in finding things.

5 - The Table of Contents contains subheadings which, along with the chapter title, quickly indicates the main point of the chapter.

6 - The 23 pages of sketches and photographs in this paperback have been especially selected from the more than a hundred in our 3-volume set. They greatly help in clarifying the facts. You have our permission to reprint them. They are listed on pp. 6-7.

7 - The 30 nature nuggets provide convincing proof that the natural world was created, and did not evolve. The pages where they are listed is at the top of p. 916.

8 - * An asterisk before a name indicates that the person named and/or quoted is not known to be a creationist.

HOW OUR WEBSITE IS ARRANGED

You will also find special topics and studies on our website. From time to time, new ones are added.

A source list of Creationist books, Evolutionist books (written by evolutionists against Evolution), Evolutionist Periodical Articles, and Special Collections is on our website.

Also included is a fairly recent list of Creation-Science Organizations and how to contact them.

Lastly, there is a bookstore, where you can securely order copies of this paperback, the 3-volume set (while they last), and other items.

MATERIAL OMITTED FROM THIS PAPERBACK

The following material, which is omitted from this paperback, is included in our 3-volume encyclopedia on our website:

Chapter 11, Cellular Evolution. This material was omitted from this paperback since, although it described some of the marvelous intricacies of the cell, it was actually a "design chapter" and not replying to specific evolutionary claims. 

Chapter 26 - Paleomagnetism. The entire chapter will be found on our website. The entire chapter will be found on our website.

Chapter 27 - Geographic Distribution.

Chapter 30 - The Scopes Trial. Only a brief paragraph of this excellent coverage is in this paperback (Chapter 1). 

Chapter 31 - Scientists Speak. Only a few of the large number of statements by scientists and evolutionists are included in this paperback. 

Chapter 34 - Evolution and Education. Only a few paragraphs (on opinion polls) are in this paperback (Chapter 1). 

Chapter 35 - Archaeological Dating. The entire chapter will be found on our website. The entire chapter will be found on our website.

Chapter 37 - Philosophy of Evolution. *Karl Popper is the leading "evolutionary philosopher," and his "testability" definition of true science rules out evolutionary theory. 

Chapter 38 - Fallacies of Evolution. Fallacies of logic are discussed here, and they apply perfectly to evolutionary claims.  

Chapter 39 - Chronology of the Ancient Near East. The researcher might find this list handy. An approximate list of dates is given, going back 6000 years. 

Chapters 4 - Matter and Stars, last part on stars, galactic systems, and a section on space travel is omitted. 

Also omitted from this paperback are nearly all the large collection of material in the following chapters in the 3-volume set and in our website: Chapters 8 (The Earth), 12 (Plants), 16 (Invertebrates), 20 (Amphibians and Reptiles), 24 (Fish), 28 (Birds), 32 (Marsupials and Mammals), 36 (Man), and 40 (More Wonders of Design). These are all "design chapters," and show what is actually the most powerful argument of all for Creation: the "argument by design." The wonders of nature not only testify to the fact that evolutionary claims and mechanisms are fallacious, but they clearly point to the fact that they were created by an Intelligence with massive capabilities. These design chapters essentially consist of a large number of "nature nuggets;" facts about some of the many astounding things in nature which testify to the Creatorship of God.  

The following information, not in this paperback, will be found at the back of both the 3-Volume set and our website collection:

Biographies of Creation Scientists

Creation Classics

Creationist Books (Scientific aspects)

Books by Evolutionists against Evolution

Creationist Books (Biblical aspects)

Evolutionist Periodical Articles

EVOLUTION COULD NOT DO THIS

One research scientist, *T.A. McMahon, worked out the formula for the general size and height of trees. The mathematical formula goes something like this: "The diameter of trees will vary with height raised to the 3/2 power; that is the length times the square root of the length." That is surely a lot for a simple-minded tree, without any brains to keep track of. Here is more of the formula: "The mean height trees obtain is only about 25 percent of that which they could obtain and still not buckle. In other words, trees are designed with a safety factor of about four." Someone very intelligent did the designing. We should not expect that the trees figured it out.

This concludes Evolution Cruncher.
