Foreword
Our world has been inundated with evolution to
such a great extent that many people have just assumed that it is a fact of
life. By "evolution" I mean the belief that over enough time one kind
of animal can become another; for instance, a fish can become an amphibian, or
perhaps a lizard can become a bird. Evolution, in its highest degree, is the
idea that a bacterium, over a billion years, through billions of damages or
natural selection, could eventually become a human. This is not science, but a
belief system--a faith.
Evolution has been perpetuated by the
educational system, media and our government (i.e. national parks) for decades.
You cannot get away from the reality that evolutionist thinking has been forced
into our society aggressively!
Growing up in a humanistic educational system
and indoctrinated through media, television, and museums, I enfolded
evolution as a fact. During my junior year at the University of Wisconsin,
I began to contemplate the definition of true science. This forced me to
set aside what I was being taught and look at it all again. This was a
challenge, as I was studying geology! However, I couldn’t
fight the tide of evidence.
The fossil record contains incredible evidence that is devastating to the
foundations of evolutionist thought. The trillions of organisms that compose
this record were entombed in rock within a relatively short period of time. The
authors show how the fossil record is too complete, even in its earliest layers,
to allow for the gradual, time-consuming evolution from simple to complex.
I believe that anyone given the evidence of
both sides of the origins debate can judge what is truth and what is not.
In Evolution Shot Full of Holes you will be treated to a clear,
concise explanation of evidence against evolution.
Jim Bendewald is passionate about presenting
the truth through the study of true science. The intent of this book is to
help others see the truth clearly, if they can but cast off for the moment their
preconceived ideas of evolution. The book reveals through truly interesting
illustrations a very understandable, yet detailed, message of the complexity of
even the simplest life forms. This information ought to unravel the bonds of
evolutionist thinking which bind both the minds and hearts of people today.
My desire is that you, like myself in those
searching college years, might set aside your preconceived ideas about
evolution and look to the evidence presented objectively and
scientifically. My prayer is that as a result you, like myself, might come
face to face with the Creator who designed you with a purpose and who loves you
with an everlasting love.
Hebrews 11:3,6
"Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word
of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do
appear . . . but without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that
cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them
that diligently seek Him."
