'This is not intelligent design'

Darwinian evolutionists now belong to the category of phrenologists and flat-earthers. You don't have to be a creationist to realize that gradual evolution simply could not have occurred as Darwin proposed.

Swedish scientist Loren Lovetrup (not a creationist) says: "I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science," adding that "evolution is anti-science" and "false."

Biochemist Michael Behe has shown in his book, "Darwin's Black Box," that complex systems exist which simply could not have evolved gradually. He calls this "irreducible complexity" -- that is, every part must be in place at the same time for it to work.

Fossil expert and evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould wrote: "The fossil record with its abrupt transitions offers no support for gradual change."

Renowned astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle, in "The Mathematics of Evolution," said, "The speculations of the 'Origin of Species' turned out to be wrong,"

Respected French scientist Pierre Grasse called Darwinian evolution "a pseudo-science." A.E. Wilder-Smith, possessor of three doctorates, calls Darwinism "impossible." Dr. H.S. Lipson, an agnostic physicist, wrote, "To my mind, the theory (evolution) does not stand up at all." Mathematician David Berlinski says many of his fellow mathematicians ridicule Darwinism and literally hoot at its claim to be science. Sir Francis Crick, discoverer of DNA, now favors intelligent design. Sir Karl Popper declares that Darwinism is "a metaphysical programme," not science.

Die-hard deniers of design must tell themselves: "This looks like design, it acts like design, but it can't be design. That would imply a designer. Repeat after me, 'This is not intelligent design, this is not intelligent design, this is not intelligent design.'"
