The “Celebration” of Charles Darwin’s 200th Birthday

I know several people who believe that God specially created man and woman in His image, doing exactly as the Genesis account describes (Genesis 1:26-31 and Genesis 2:7-23). These “several” belong to the group who says that the Genesis account, the biblical account, of creation is NOT affiliated with evolution---period.

On the other hand, I also know people who believe that “The species man was not specially created but is merely, in a long chain of evolutionary changes of forms of life, the last link, made in the likeness not of God but of nothing so much as an ape” (Baier 315). These evolutionists belong to the group who recently “celebrated” Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday, since Darwin was born in 1809.

Although both groups claim that their respective position is authenticated---at least implied---by evidence, these two positions are diametrical (“the biblical account of creation is not affiliated with evolution---period”). Therefore, both cannot be right. In other words if X and Y are contrapositions, both cannot be right: if they are opposites and X is true, then Y is false; but if Y is true, then X is false. Likewise if the biblical account of creation is true, then evolution is false. Or if evolution is true, then the biblical account is false. So in order to determine via implication and inference (things imply and people infer) which position is true---or which one better explains humankind’s origin in view of the evidence---let’s examine the fossil record, the atom, and the human conscience.
Evolution is characterized by an evolutionary “advantage” and moving upright on two legs is NOT an advantage over moving on all fours (quadrupedal). In fact, the locomotion of an ape (“bent sharply forward” on four legs) is a lot easier, faster, and more efficient than humankind’s bipedal movement (two legs). Further, unlike a chimpanzee, a human being is not able to move via jumping from tree to tree without going to the ground. Tarzan and Spider-Man are not representative of humankind as such. So since the quadrupedal movement (four legs) of a monkey (ape) is more efficient (“advantage”) than the bipedal gait of a human being---meaning humankind should have evolved to become quadrupedal instead of an ape (monkey) evolving to move upright on two legs (bipedal) until it becomes human-like (Oktar)---this “disadvantage” (two legs/bipedal) suggests why there is no transitional fossil in the fossil record from quadrupedal movement (four legs) to bipedal (two legs) of the “ape-like human.”

Since evolution is false, why “celebrate” the 200th birthday of someone (Darwin) whose myth should be (now) “ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science”?
