THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD!
Evolution is found in scores of pages in your average high school textbook, but a lot of people don’t check the sources, because, after all, somebody smart wrote the book, right?Ernst Haeckel, a German zoology professor, was an ardent supporter and promoter of Darwin’s ideas about evolution. It was really due to this free-thinker and pantheist’s enthusiasm that evolution took root in Germany. Yeah, problem is, he wasn’t worried about using fraud to support evolutionary ideas.
Haeckel was the first person known to draw an evolutionary “tree of life” for mankind. Sure, Darwin had used rudimentary “trees of life” for his theories, but not taking it this far. There was a problem with Haeckel’s tree-he had to get from non-living things to “simple” life. So he just invented a series of organisms, describing some as “lumps of mucus or slime” and gave them scientific names, proclaiming that these organisms filled the gap between nothing and simple life. His imaginative drawings and descriptions were then published in a scientific journal and then later, books. For fifty years this was given as proof of evolution even though these “organisms” were nothing more than figments of his imagination. I’m saying, he published their existence as fact without ever observing them, and NOW we know they don’t even exist!
Yes, that’s not the only thing he guessed at... Later he reasoned that the only real difference between us and the apes was that they can’t speak and we can. So he developed, and named, an intermediate species of “speechless apes.” Of course, not one scrap of evidence existed for such a creature and yet he had detailed drawings made of this creature. » Learn more
