This week we continue to look at the scientifically disproven examples that supposedly support Darwin’s theory that continue to be sold to us in textbooks and in popular culture today.  Could it be that an intelligent creator who loves us is a far better explanation?Resources:Lee Strobel, The Case for a Creator, 2004Stephen Meyer, The Return of the God Hypothesis, 2021Hugh Ross, Improbable Planet, 2016Jay Richards and Guillermo Gonzales, The Privileged Planet, 2004 I realized while preparing the last two episodes that they are in many ways a summary of the interview Lee Strobel conducts in the Case for a Creator.  I want to give full credit to Lee Strobel for doing an amazing job introducing this topic into my awareness and helping encourage me to dig deeper with some of the other resources listed. “First, why, if species have descended from other species by fine graduations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms?  Why is not all nature in confusion, instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?” Charles Darwin, The Origin of the Species, 1859 “Experimental evidence of such an evolution being impossible, the professor is not content to say (as most of us would be ready to say) that such an evolution is likely enough anyhow.  He produces his little bone, or little collection of bones, and deduces the most marvelous things from it.  He found in Java a piece of a skull, seeming by its contour to be smaller than the human.  Somewhere near it he found an upright thighbone and in the same scattered fashion some teeth that were not human…If they all form part of one creature, which is doubtful, our conception of the creature would be almost equally doubtful.  But the effect on popular science was to produce a complete and even complex figure, finished down to the last details of hair and habits.  He was given a name as if he were an ordinary historical character…Popular histories published portraits of him like the portraits of Charles the First or George the Fourth…A detailed drawing was reproduced, carefully shaded, to show that the very hairs of his head were all numbered.  No uninformed person looking at its carefully lined face and wistful eyes would imagine for a moment that this was the portrait of a thighbone, or of a few teeth and a fragment of a cranium.”  G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man, 1925
