Circular Reasoning: Evolutionists base the fossil record on geologic ages, then base the geologic ages on the assumption of evolution. This only proves evolutionists lack sound reasoning.
When evolutionists announce a major discovery supposedly proving evolution, they usually use reasoning that stretches the imagination. For example, Lucy was hailed as a missing link. The evidence for Lucy was a few bones scattered several meters apart. From that little evidence, an artist drew a picture of what Lucy would look like. However, it was later determined to be more like a modern chimpanzee!
Applying that logic as an Historian would get me tossed out of any university. Here is a comparable analogy to what those evolutionists do in the science departments. Let’s assume I discovered a 100-word manuscript that I want to use for a journal article. The manuscript has only two words- to and major. If I used the tactics of evolutionists, I would just make-up the other 98 words and say I have found a letter written by Abraham Lincoln to Confederate President Jefferson Davis in which Lincoln offered a secret peace plan. If I did that, my name would go down in history as the most dishonest historian of all time. Yet, that is what professors in the sciences do with the few bones and fossils they find, and they get away with it.
A History of Evolutionary Frauds
In 4th century BC Greece Aristotle, without any evidence, argued that life originates from primordial soft mass of living matter with an ascending series from plants to man.
Lamarck (1744-1829) declared that evolution is a fact, again without any evidence. He believed that habits from use or disuse of various organs would produce changes that would be inherited. For example, a giraffe got his long neck by reaching for food!!
*My reasoning*We all know that giraffes have long necks, if they evolved over thousands of years though, then they would have become extinct long ago. Giraffes have valves and arteries in their necks which control blood flow and heart pressure when it bends over to drink. If at one point giraffes didn't have all of these valves, wouldn't it's brain explode from the pressure (of the arteries pushing the needed blood to its head plus the gravity pushing more blood to its brain) when it bent over to get a drink? If even one of these valves was missing, wouldn't that happen? and if all the giraffes died, then I don't think they would be around today...because as far as I know, DEAD THINGS DON'T EVOLVE (-ttp://

Darwin’s 1859 Origin of Species, again presented no evidence of evolution.
Attorney Charles Lyell promoted the idea of uniformitarianism. That is that the present is key to the past, and everything moves in a steady state.
The Bible speaks about this false idea of a steady state in the last days:
II Peter 3:3-7: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts. And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water, Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
Some Historians are also guilty of falling for the uniformitarianism myth. For example, esteemed historian Bernard Bailyn said Indians were only a footnote to colonial history. This view is held by most historians. Perhaps Bailyn looked around today and said Where are the Indians, I don’t see many. It is true. Unless you go to Gallup, New Mexico, southern South Dakota, Yakima, Washington, or some other place where large concentrations of Indians reside, you will not see many Native Americans. How often do you see a Native American in Indianapolis? When you go to Chicago? New York? San Francisco? You might come to the conclusion that there are few Indians and they never were really important factors in our history. However, in colonial America one could not walk along the eastern seaboard anywhere without running into Indians. The Native Americans played major roles in warfare tactics and war itself, colonial living arrangements, politics, economics, mission work, and practically every aspect of American life. The same occurred when Indiana was settled in the early 19th century. Indians were everywhere, and played some of the same major roles they played in colonial America. Indians are much more than a footnote in history, they are major players. You can now see how mistakes can be made by believing that the present is a key to the past. It just doesn’t work that way in science nor history.
There are no intermediate forms of evolutionary evidence found in fossils!
Nebraska Man: In the early part of the 20th century, this was hailed as a missing link by some scientists, although other scientists opposed its inclusion as a missing link. Nebraska Man had a brief history, as it was shortly determined that it was actually the tooth of a pig. Despite many scientists rejecting Nebraska Man, that some accepted it as evidence (one tooth) of a transitional creature, shows how gullible some evolutionists are. In fairness of evolutionists, we are all easily tricked about some things.
Java Man: Dr. Dubois concealed for over 30 years that he had found human skulls near his Java man at the same level.
Piltdown Man: In the first half of the 20th century many books, dissertations, master theses, and high school papers were written hailing Piltdown Man as the missing link. Scientist Henry Fairfield Osborn used the publicity surrounding the famous Scopes Monkey Trial to adorn the New York Times with his defense of evolution. The brilliant paleontologist cited Piltodown man as one of the evidences of evolution (New York Times, July 12, 1925, section 8, page 1). In 1953 it was found to be a fraud. It was the jaw bone of a modern orangutan, but its teeth had been filed down, and its bones had been artificially colored to deceive the public.
Horse Series: This is another example of the imaginative bone-arranging of evolutionists. Since 1926 this has been used by to illustrate a general increase in size reduction and the loss of toes. Perhaps you recall seeing this in your high school biology book. Once again, fraud is employed, as the fossils are not found in the proper order in the fossils, and there is no sequence in the fossils from small, many-toed ancestors to large, one-toed man. The first horse on the list is actually the Echippus, a contemporary fox-like animal called the Daman that darts in the African brush.
Dinosaurs: Evolutionists argue that the extinction of dinosaurs allowed man to evolve. However, The Bible mentions dinosaur-like creatures. Job 41 mentions a Leviathan who breathes fire, and Job 40 discusses the Behemoth that could not be caught because its tail was like a cedar. Roman Historian Pliny (2nd A.D.) in his Natural History prescribed medicine that could be used from Dragons, such as crushed bones of its spine could cure gallstones.
Archaeopteryx (ancient wing) is called a reptilelike bird. However, some scientists say it is fully a bird. Regardless, the evolutionists are wrong when they argue that the claws on the bird prove its place as proof for evolution. If they would check, they would discover that some modern birds also have claws--the ostrich has three claws, the hoatzin in South America, and the Touracoin in Africa.
Radio Carbon Fraud: This is used for dates fewer than 50,000 years ago. Evolutionists claim that the ratio of Carbon 14 (radioactive carbon) was in a steady state in time and space. However, the Earth’s magnetic field is decaying, meaning the magnetic field was stronger earlier. This means there would be less radio carbon as cosmic radiation would have been deflected. This would greatly shorten radiocarbon chronology. Contamination and selective absorption can also distort radio carbon readings.
Uranium. Lead, etc. are used for items more than 50,000 years old. Atmospheric upheavals, such as supernovas can distort results.
There is no point in listing all the frauds of evolution, and there are many more to list. To discover how there is no evidence for evolution, just carefully examine the numerous articles announcing some link or proof for evolution you often see in your newspaper or magazine. See if they actually present any hard evidence, or are just speculation about what they hope the discovery might mean. You will be surprised to find that every time, the evolutionists fail to present hard evidence for their blind faith in evolution. They will often say, this provides evidence for whatever point they are making. However, months later in scientific journals other scientists will question the conclusion of those who announced the discovery and promote alternative theories. Unfortunately, the newspaper or magazine you read never reports on these follow-up articles that question the proof for evolution.
Evidence for a Young Earth
Mt. St. Helens, (Washington State) erupted May, 1980.
Evolutionists say the petrified forests in Yellowstone are hundreds of years old. However, in one day a landslide at Mt. St. Helens created waves of Spirit Lake that stripped forests away and delivered many logs to the lake. A few years later sedimentation had buried the trees solidly, while others have no sediment around the bases.
Steam explosions in fewer than five days formed pits in the pumice. Gullies over 125 feet were developed. This resembles the Badlands topography, which evolutionists say is ancient.
A canyon 1/40th the size of the Grand Canyon was created in a few days at Mt. St. Helens, suggesting it didn’t take very long for the Grand Canyon to form.
Stalactites in caves. When you tour a cave, the guide will explain that the stalactites are millions of years old. However, at Mt. Isa, in Queensland, Australia, a 55-year-old lead mine now has stalactites!!
There are many more examples of a young earth. Suffice it to say, if you believe in evolution, you have been conned as much as if you invested in a financial scam.

published in 2001, Origin of Whales from Early Artiodactyls: Hands and Feet of Eocene Protocetidae from Pakistan. And, just to clear up a bit on the whale transitional, here's another peer-reviewed article concerning an even older transitional artiodactyl/whale fossil find than Pakicetus (Himalayacetus subathuensis) from 1998: A new Eocene archaeocete (Mammalia, Cetacea) from India and the time of origin of whales.
