BRAINWASHED #1 by Duane T. Gish, Ph.D. . (Duane T. Gish, Ph.D. (Biochemistry, University of California, Berkeley)
is Associate Director of the Institute of Creation Research and Professor of Natural Science and Apologetics at Christian Heritage College, San Diego, California. He spent 18 years in biochemical and biomedical research with the Upjohn Company and at Cornell University and Berkeley. There are over 450 scientists with a master’s or doctor’s degree in some field of natural science are now voting members of the Creation Research Society.
. The following lecture was given at the University of California at Davis and has been greatly condensed for the sake of space.
. As a scientist, I believe we must examine all the evidence and facts before we can come to any conclusion on any given subject. I’m asking only one thing of this audience… that you examine the facts thoroughly and without prejudice.
. The refusal by science teachers to consider creation as a possible explanation for the origin of all things, is unwarranted and undesirable. The student is being indoctrinated without being given a complete presentation of the evidence.
. This situation could be remedied by taking a closer look at both creation and evolution.
. First, let’s examine the claims of each. The EVOLUTIONIST states that all life gradually evolved from a single cell, which had evolved from dead matter.
. CREATIONISTS believe that life and our existence came by the acts of a Creator.
. The evidence that the EVOLUTIONIST needs to establish his claims, is fossils showing a gradual step-by-step development of lower animal life into more and more complex forms.
. And this should be evident by the presence in the fossil record of many transitional forms.
. The evidence needed to support CREATION, is fossils showing complex life appearing suddenly…with no fossil evidence of lower animals developing into new and complex forms of life.
