Zuckerman is one of the most famous and respected scientists
in the United Kingdom. For years, he studied the fossil record
and conducted many detailed investigations. He was elevated
to the peerage for his contributions to science. Zuckerman
is an evolutionist. Therefore, his comments on evolution cannot
be regarded as ignorant or prejudiced. After years of research
on the fossils included in the human evolution scenario however,
he reached the conclusion that there is no truth to the family
tree that is put forward.
Zuckerman also advanced an interesting concept
of the "spectrum of the sciences," ranging from those he considered
scientific to those he considered unscientific. According
to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most "scientific"-that is, dependent
on concrete data-fields are chemistry and physics. After them
come the biological sciences and then the social sciences.
At the far end of the spectrum, which is the part considered
to be most "unscientific," are extra-sensory perception-concepts
such as telepathy and the "sixth sense"-and finally human
evolution. Zuckerman explains his reasoning as follows:
We then move right off
the register of objective truth into those fields of presumed
biological science, like extrasensory perception or the
interpretation of man's fossil history, where to
the faithful anything is possible - and where the ardent
believer is sometimes able to believe several contradictory
things at the same time.226
Robert Locke, the editor of Discovering Archeology,
an important publication on the origins of man, writes in
that journal, "The search for human ancestors gives more heat
than light," quoting the confession of the famous evolutionary
paleoantropologist Tim White:
We're all frustrated by "all
the questions we haven't been able to answer."227
Locke's article reviews the impasse of the theory
of evolution on the origins of man and the groundlessness
of the propaganda spread about this subject:
Perhaps no area of science
is more contentious than the search for human origins. Elite
paleontologists disagree over even the most basic outlines
of the human family tree. New branches grow amid great fanfare,
only to wither and die in the face of new fossil finds.228
The same fact was also recently accepted by Henry
Gee, the editor of the well-known journal Nature.
In his book In Search of Deep Time, published in
1999, Gee points out that all the evidence for human evolution
"between about 10 and 5 million years ago-several thousand
generations of living creatures-can be fitted into a small
box." He concludes that conventional theories of the origin
and development of human beings are "a completely human invention
created after the fact, shaped to accord with human prejudices,"
and adds:
To take a line of fossils
and claim that they represent a lineage is not a scientific
hypothesis that can be tested, but an assertion that carries
the same validity as a bedtime story-amusing, perhaps even
instructive, but not scientific.229
As we have seen, there is no scientific discovery
supporting or propping up the theory of evolution, just some
scientists who blindly believe in it. These scientists both
believe in the myth of evolution themselves, although it has
no scientific foundation, and also make other people believe
it by using the media, which cooperate with them. In the pages
that follow, we shall examine a few examples of this deceptive
propaganda carried out in the name of evolution.
