Evolution is the "greatest scam"

Earlier this year, John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, stated that manmade global warming is "the greatest scam in history," adding, "I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global warming; it is a scam."

While I agree that global warming is a scam, it is not the greatest scam. I suggest that the greatest scam is the theory of evolution.

For example, whereas there is no doubt that there is variation within the lower levels (within the same variety, species, genus and even family), never has anyone demonstrated the change of one creature from one higher level to another (across different phyla, classes, or orders) like from a fish to an amphibian. (That happens only in the biology textbooks.)

If evolution occurred, there should be abundant examples of transitional fossils. The lack of these fossils was a great embarrassment to Darwin but he had faith that they would be found. One hundred fifty years later Darwinists still have faith that the necessary transitional fossils will be found.

What we do see is not evolution, but devolution. Mutations are supposed to be an engine of evolution. But, there are many more neutral or bad mutations than there are helpful ones.

A search of 189,807,786 medical and biological research abstracts found 453,732 articles about mutations, only 186 of which were beneficial (0.04%).

The devolution we see indicates the original genetic material was better than what we see today. The Bible says that when God finished creating all life he pronounced it "very good". The original genetic material would have had no defects. What we see today has devolved from it as a result of sin entering the world.

Yes, the biggest scam in history is evolution. We need to recognize it for what it is and return to the clear teaching of the Bible on origins. The Bible's record, after all, much better explains the devolution we see all around us.
