Humanity’s Extraterrestrial Origins by Dr. Arthur David Horn The Earth is estimated to be about 4.5 billion years old. Roughly 370 million years ago, the first four- limbed land animals, the amphibians, appeared on Earth. Despite the immense odds and evidence to the contrary, many scientists still believe that life of some sort was generated from their chemical ingredients by some random process. (p. 14) While several new species have evolved in the past few million years, no new higher categories of organisms have appeared for millions of years. (p. 16) If changes in organisms occur by the accumulation of small, random changes that are screened through natural selection as neo-Darwinists argue, why have no new basic body plans or phyla evolved in almost 600 million years...? (p. 17) Darwin himself and neo-Darwinists have claimed that evolution proceeds gradually in small steps, as we have observed. The fossil record provides no unambiguous examples of a gradual transition of one organism evolving into another organism (p. 17) When a new species, or a new class, or a new order, or new genus, of organism appears on the fossil record, the new organism appears fully formed. (p. 18) No undoubted transitional fossil has been found more than 130 years after Darwin introduced his the- ory. (p. 22) “’,.the dinosaurs became extinct about 65 million years ago. Not only did the dinosaurs become extinct but up to eighty-five percent of all species of life forms that existed at that time became extinct in what must have been a worldwide catastrophe of some sort. (p. 25) Ancient life scientists know of at least six other mass extinctions where hundreds of thousands of spe- cies, 60-85 percent of all then existing species became extinct. (p. 25) Since Darwin’s day, biology and neo-Darwinism have maintained that competition, the struggle for existence, dominates relationships between species. However, competition is rarely observed among wild animals of a different species. Similar species living in the same area avoid competition by divid- ing their habitat into ecological niches (p. 27) 182 Appendix B: Book Abstracts Scientific Nonsense Darwinian Nonsense Prehistoric Disasters Mass Extinctions Darwinian Fallacy Certainly there is little evidence for Darwin’s postulated “struggle for existence.” (p. 27) ...no breeding experiment has produced a new species of animal” (p. 30) Our Sun is one star out of about 100 billion stars in our galaxy alone.
