I agree with Terry that the common (and long standing) claim by
anti-evolutionists that evolution is about to go belly up is wrong.
Christians have been self-deluding themselves about this for a long time. I
would like to ask if this trend is so well observed, when it it going to
become obvious? Here are some examples (in chronological order):
"In spite of the tremendous pressure that exists in the scientific world on
the side of evolutionary propaganda, there are increasing signs of
discontent and skeptisism" ~ Henry Morris, The Twilight of Evolution,
(Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1963), p. 84
"Here and there, surprisingly enough, even in the standard scientific
publications media, there are beginning to appear evidences of doubts
concerning evolution. Nothing much which is overtly skeptical of evolution
as a whole can be published, of course, but at least signs are appearing
which indicate there may exist a very substantial substratum of doubt
concerning evolution today." ~ Henry Morris, The Twilight of Evolution,
(Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1963), p. 84
"QUESTION--Do non-Christian scientists still argue that man has descended
from apes or monkeys?
ANSWER--In many school textbooks this is accepted almost as if it is fact,
but many biologists and other scientists have long since swung away from
this view. There are many and varied theories of evolution today, but
scientists who reject divine creation are beset with serious problems and
these are being increasingly recognized." ~ Clifford Wilson, In the
Beginning God...", (Balston Spa, New York: Word of Truth Productions,
1975), p. 32
"More and more young scientists are interested in searching out the
creationist explanation for origins and earth history. Some excellent
creationist research is also being accomplished by these young people even
at the graduate level. They are not receiving much encouragement from the
educational establishment, but they are going ahead anyway." ~ Donald E.
Chittick, The Controversy: Roots of the Creation-Evolution
Conflict,(Creation Compass, 1984), p. 191
"In spite of the enormous influence of Darwin's theories in modern
education, many specialists in the natural sciences are becoming convinced
that 'nature' could neither have created nor have increased the complexity
of the physical universe." ~ John C. Whitcomb, The Early Earth, (Grand
Rapids: Baker Book House, 1986), p. 13
"Leading scientists are abandoning their faith in Darwin's theory of
evolution. Why?" Luther D. Sunderland, Darwin's Enigma (Santee,
California: Master Books, 1988), Back cover.
"Even though the large majority of modern scientists still embrace an
evolutionary view of origins, there is a significant and growing number of
scientists who have abandoned evolution altogether and have accepted
creation instead." ~ Mark Looy, "I Think; Therefore, There is a Supreme
Thinker,"Impact, 208, October, 1990, p. i
"Today, however,the 'creative' role of natural selection is being
questioned by a growing number of scientists. Yet most of these scientists
have not reconsidered the intelligent design argument which was replaced by
natural selection as the supposed source of apparent design." ~ Percival
Davis and Dean H. Kenyon, Of Pandas and People, (Dallas: Haughton
Publishing Co., 1993), p. 67
