The picture below illustrates the argument of Creationists against evolution. They say that since there are lots of monkeys and lots of humans, then why aren't there lots of early Man types still around too.
It's like, why aren't there featherless chickens with scaly skin and teeth in their beaks? It never occurs to these blind-faith i***ts that "evolution" means EVOLVED. When some species, like horses for example, slowly changes over many generations and becomes bigger, no one argues that much. I mean, we know they did, so why argue? We still have lots of wolves around too, but we also have a gazillion breeds of dogs now that breed true and that used to be wolves. No one argues that. So why is it so hard to see that the fossils that show us what our ancient ancestors looked like compared to what we look like now are just as valid as horses getting bigger and wolves becoming dogs?
The evidence of evolution surrounds us. There is no evidence of creation. The Creationists, who h**e scientific proofs, hypocritically trot out the Big Bang theory as evidence for Creation, yet even if that theory should prove true, it has zero to do with the Evolution vs. Creation silliness.

B****SHEEP REFUSES TO [INTELLIGENTLY] RESPOND TO THE 1948 PROPHECY I POSTED SEVERAL TIMES ASK ING FOR RESPONSES. OR THE POST OF THE HUMAN EYE, SAID IT WAS TO MUCH TO READ..... (MEANING HE IS IN A CORNER AND HIS THEORY ' S ARE FULFILLED OF HOLES BUT HE CANT ADMIT HE IS WRONG......ETHIC'S?
OVER 2000 PROPHECY ' S FULFILLED, HERE IS MATH ODDS FOR ONLY 10,
B****SHEEP CAN YOU REFUTE THE MATH OF 10, HOW ABOUT 2000????
THE BIBLE IS GOD WORD TO MAN B****SHEEP, AND YOUR RUNNING IN CIRCLES BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO FINA A WAY TO REFUTE THIS.L
HERE YA GO!!!
that can now dam up the waters of the Euphrates for the first time in history. The prophet John foretold a future military highway across Asia that would allow this astonishing army to march toward the final battle in Israel. John describes the building of this highway in these words: "The way of the kings of the east might be prepared" (Revelation 16:12). The Chinese government has spent enormous sums and expanded the lives of hundreds of thousands of construction workers building a military super-highway across Asia heading directly toward Israel. This highway has no economic purpose and no foreigners are allowed anywhere near this road. The highway has been completed through the south of China, Tibet, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. This curious prophecy about "the way of the kings of the east" is being fulfilled in the 1990s setting the stage for the final battle of this age.
The Staggering Odds Against These Prophecies Being Fulfilled in Our Lifetime
In this chapter we have examined a number of significant prophecies fulfilled in our lifetime that point to the Lord's return in this generation. Almost two thousand years have passed from the time of Christ until our generation. At its simplest level we can ask: What are the odds that even ten of these specific prophecies would be fulfilled by chance during our lifetime? If these prophecies could not have occurred by random chance, then their fulfillment is proof that God inspired the writers of the Bible to correctly predict these future events! In the Bible there are several types of generations. One generation is defined a the length of life of the average person - seventy or eighty years. However, a generation of governing is usually defined as forty years, as indicated in the forty-year reigns of Gideon, King David, King Solomon, et cetera. During the last two thousand years since the days of Christ, there were fifty such forty-year generations. Therefore, the odds of are one chance in fifty that any one of these specific prophecies happened by chance in our generation rather than some other generation. Examine the prediction about the rebirth of Israel, as prophesied by Matthew 24:32, as an example. There was only one chance in fifty that Israel would become a nation in our lifetime, rather than in some other generation such as A.D. 350, or A.D. 1600.
According to the laws of combined probability the chance that two or more events will occur in a given time period is equal to the chance that one event will occur multiplied by the chance that the second event would occur. If the odds are fifty to one against Israel being reborn in our lifetime by chance and the odds are also fifty to one against the revival of the Roman Empire in our generation; then the combined probability is fifty times fifty which equals one chance in twenty-five hundred. To calculate the probability of these prophecies occurring by chance:
What are the Odds That These Prophecies Were Fulfilled by Chance?
There are 40 years to a generation
There are 50 generations from Christ till today.
Therefore:
The odds are 1 in 50 of any of these prophecies occurring in our lifetime.
The odds are: 1 event = 1x50
2 events = 50x50
3 events = 50x50(3 times)
4 events = 50x50(4 times)
5 events = 50x50(5 times)
6 events = 50x50(6 times)
7 events = 50x50(7 times)
8 events = 50x50(8 times)
9 events = 50x50(9 times)
10 events = 50x50(10 times) 1 in 50
1 in 2,500
1 in 125,000
1 in 6.25 million
1 in 312.5 million
1 in 15.6 billion
1 in 780 billion
1 in 39 trillion
1 in 1,950 trillion
1 in 97,500 trillion (or 97.5 quadrillion)
Obviously, the odds against even ten prophecies occurring by random chance alone in one generation are simply staggering. The above calculation suggests that there is only one chance in 97,500 Trillion (or 97.5 Quadrillion) that these particular predictions from the Bible could be fulfilled by chance in our lifetime. Another way of looking at this is that the chance that the prophets of the Bible correctly guessed these prophecies is also one chance in 97,500 Trillion. If we calculated the odds against all twenty of these prophecies occurring by chance, the numbers would be beyond our ability to comprehend. In other words, it is simply impossible that men alone could have written the Bible without the supernatural assistance and inspiration of God.
This analysis demonstrates the truly incredible odds against even ten specific prophecies being fulfilled by chance in our generation. The odds against only ten prophecies occurring by random chance was 50 x 50 x 50 x 50 x 50 x 50 x 50 x 50 x 50 x 50 = one chance in 97,500 Trillion! This number is so large that it is hard to conceive of it. However, to illustrate these incredible odds; consider this. The odds of 97,500 Trillion to one are equal to the estimated numbers of grains of sand that would fill our entire planet. Imagine that we were able to take a single grain of sand out of this staggering number of grains of sand and paint it blue. Then we blindfold you and let your search the planet for this buried grain of sand as long as you wish. Remember the entire globe consists of grains of sand and you would need to consider the possibility that the blue painted grain of sand was buried ten miles or, possibly, a thousand miles deep beneath the planet's surface. When you think you have found the right place, stop and pick up a random grain of sand. If you were lucky enough to pick up the only grain of sand painted blue by pure chance, you would have equaled the odds of one chance in 97,500 Trillion against even these ten prophecies being fulfilled by chance in our generation. Frankly, I don't think you would find that grain of sand. Likewise, it is simply impossible that these twenty prophecies were fulfilled by random chance.
The Scriptures teach that the final generation of this age will witness the fulfillment of a staggering number of prophecies pointing to the soon return of the promised Messiah. The evidence presented in this chapter also provides astonishing evidence that proves that only God could have inspired the writers of the Scriptures to accurately predict the startling number of predictions already fulfilled in our lifetime. The words of Jesus speak especially to our generation, "Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near" (Luke 21:28).
