18th AND 19th century scientists Pt 20

The same year, two major books attacking evolutionary
theory in great detail were released: The
first was *Gertrude Himmelfarb’s Darwin and the Darwinian
Revolution. Holding a doctorate from the University
of Chicago, her book was a powerful exposé on the
havoc the theory has wrought on the modern world. The
second in-depth book was by *Jacques Barzun, history professor
and dean of the Graduate Faculties at Columbia University.

His book, Darwin, Marx, Wagner, declared that
evolutionary theory was directly responsible for European
wars from 1870 to 1945.
Biological Sciences Curriculum (1959). Another significant
event that year was the establishment of a standardized
Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS)
for public secondary schools. The stated objective was
the teaching of evolution, sex education, racial problems,
and the need for legalizing abortion

(*A.B. Grobman, Biological Science: An Inquiry into Life, p. xv).
BSCS quickly received a $7 million grant from the National
Science Foundation, to develop this new series.
Shortly afterward, a second major textbook revision
project, Man: A Course of Study, was given $7 million
by the National Science Foundation. It was filled with
humanism and morally objectionable interpretations
of personal and social life.

Revolt in France (early 1960s). A large number of
French biologists and taxonomists (species classification
experts) rebelled against the chains of the evolutionary
creed and declared that they would continue their
research, but would no longer try to prove evolution—which
they considered an impossible theory. Taxonomists who
joined the revolt took the name “cladists” (*Z. Litynski,
“Should We Burn Darwin?” in Science Digest, Vol. 51,
January 1961, p. 61).

First Quasar Discovered (1962). Telescopes found a
mysterious object, which was named 3C273, which had
a spectrum that was unintelligible. This peculiar object

radiated most strongly in the fringes of the visible spectrum.
It was a total mystery until February 1963, when
*Jesse Schmidt recognized that the problem was that it
had a radical 16% shift toward the red. If the speed
theory of redshift, promoted by evolutionists, was correct,—
that meant the object was moving away from
us at 16% of the speed of light—and was a massive 3
billion light-years from earth!

As more—and apparently “faster”—quasars were discovered,
the situation kept worsening. Ultimately, their
existence debunked the evolutionist’s speed theory of
redshift. Yet the redshift and background radiation were
the only two “evidences” of an earlier Big Bang! For
example, in 1977, a quasar was found which, according to
the redshift theory, was moving faster (eight times faster)
than the speed of light!

Of course, scientists know it is impossible for anything to travel faster than the speed of light (*George Abell, Exploration of the Universe, 1973,
p. 409; *Time-Life, Cosmic Mysteries, 1990, pp. 68-69;
*Sky and Telescope 53, 1977, p. 1702).
Creation Research Society (1963). This important creation
research organization was founded by doctoral scientists,
with the express purpose of conducting research
into creation-evolution topics and publishing regular
reports on them. Its Journal reports have been of a high
scientific caliber. (See our website for address.)

Background Radiation (1965). Using a sensitive radio
astronomy telescope, *A.A. Penzias and *R.W. Wilson
(researchers at Bell Laboratories) discovered lowenergy
microwave radiation coming from outer space.
Big Bang theorists immediately claimed that this proved
the Big Bang! They said it was the last part of the explosion.
But further research disclosed that it came from every
direction instead of only one; that it was the wrong
temperature; and that it was too even. Even discoveries
in the 1990s have failed to show that this radiation is
“lumpy” enough (their term) to have produced stars and
planets.
