of Bias and Fraud in the Theory

3Basis of Evolution is Uniformitarianism
- Geologists J. Hutton and C Lyell promoted
uniformitarianism, and rejected the biblical
account and the flood. - Lyell strongly influenced Darwin in a belief of
millions of yrs of gradual history - Lyell gave a false report of Niagara Falls
erosion at 1ft/yr to fit his theories Lyell had
an agenda. - Today many geologists agree with neo-
catastrophism, and that most sedimentary layers
were deposited very quickly

Times passes
To a neo-catastrophist, the rocks show evidence
of rapid catastrophic processes, requiring little
time for deposition. Time passes between the
layers where there is no evidence.

142 Theories 1st Fact? 2nd Myth?
- Fact- the sedimentary layers with sea fossils
some are over a mile above the sea. - Assumption 1-Deposited rapidly by local floods,
but layers are separated by millions of yrs.,
multiple uplifts- Conventional Geology - Assumption 2- Deposited in a 1 yr global flood,
Massive volcanism and plate tectonics, a big
uplift, and there is evidence of smooth layer

22Examples of Fraud in Evolution
- Piltdown Man- an apes jaw was attached to a
human skull - Nebraska man- was wrongly based on a pigs tooth
- Haeckel Embryos- Falsified diagrams used 50 yrs
in textbooks - C. Lyell, Principles of Geology false report on
Niagara falls erosion 1ft/yr rather than 4-5ft/yr
23Fuzzy Words

laying the foundation for cellular
biochemistry. Astrochemical analysis hint that
quantities of these compounds might have
originated in space and fallen to earth in
comets, a scenario that may solve the problem of
how these constituents arose under the conditions
that prevailed when our planet was young.
25Niagara Falls Erosion- 4-5/ ft/yr.
26Fossil Fraud
- Archaeraptor-Claimed dinosaurs turned into birds-
a dinosaur tail attached to a bird - Pakicetus - a land mammal turned into a whale?
later found not related to marine mammals - Pepper moths- dead moths were glued to the tree
and photographed this is variation in kind
27Haeckel's Lie
28Summary, Bias, Fraud
- Historical Science uses many assumptions
- There are many holes and inconsistencies and it
is unlikely this all occurred by chance - Movie Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed
- Haeckel falsification, Ape to Man mistakes
- Lyell false report Niagara falls erosion
- Archaeoraptor, Pakicetus, Peppered Moths,

30Naturalism, Evolution
- Cannot account for the laws of logic and math,
Human Consciousness, Memory reliability,
Uniformity of Laws in Nature - How can all the above occur by chance?
- Can only account for morals and ethics as
relative and changeable standards. - Is often inconsistent when applied to our lives
