This document summarizes key points from a longer source text about fossils and the age of the Earth: 1. It discusses differing views on whether fossils date rocks or rocks date fossils, with some arguing that fossils more accurately date rocks. 2. It includes quotes questioning evolutionary theory and assertions that nothing is truly known about evolution. 3. The document advocates a literal interpretation of the biblical creation account, asserting the days in Genesis refer to ordinary 24-hour days.

3. Rocks don’t tell stories,
People do.

4. 1. Fossils always exist right now, in the present.
2. Fossils must be buried quickly so they don’t rot.
3. It doesn’t take long periods of time to make fossils.
4. Fossils must be buried quickly so they don’t rot.
5. Fossil dates are given based upon a story.

8. “...geologists are here arguing in a circle.
The succession of organisms has been determined
by a study of their remains embedded in the rocks,
and the relative ages of the rocks are determined by
the remains of organisms that they contain.”
R.H.Rastall(Lecturer in Economic Geology, (Cambridge University), Encyclopedia Britannica, 1956, vol. 10,
p. 168.

9. “The rocks do date the fossils, but the fossils date the
rocks more accurately.”

10. UNIFORMITARIANISM

11. “One of the reasons I started taking this anti-
evolutionary view, or let‟s call it a non-
evolutionary view, was last year I had a sudden
realization for over twenty years I had thought I
was working on evolution in some way. One
morning I woke up and something had happened
in the night, and it struck me that I had been
working on this stuff for twenty years and there
was not one thing I knew about it.

12. That‟s quite a shock to learn that one can
be so misled so long. Either there was
something wrong with me or there was
something wrong with evolutionary theory.
Naturally, I know there is nothing wrong with
me, so for the last few weeks I‟ve tried
putting a simple question to various people
and groups of people.
Question is: Can you tell me anything you
know about evolution, any one thing, any
one thing that is true?

13. I tried that question on the geology staff at the
Field Museum of Natural History and the only
answer I got was silence.
I tried it on the members of the Evolutionary
Morphology Seminar in the University of
Chicago...and all I got there was silence for a long
time and eventually one person said, “I do know
one thing-it ought not to be taught in high school.”
Dr. Colin Patterson (Senior Paleontologist, British Museum of Natural History, London). Keynote
address at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, 5 November 1981.

27. “Robert Jastrow ( past director of the Goddard Institute
for Space Studies) suggests that some extraterrestrial
intelligences (ETI‟s) could have evolved as far beyond
man as man is beyond a worm. Their incredible powers
would make them seem like gods to us, compelling us to
fall down and worship them.”
