Abstract

Evolutionists seem to be coming more and more to admit that what was, until recently, the standard evolutionary dogma, gradual evolution through micromutations, is supported by neither the fossil record nor common sense. So the notion of saltational evolution, through macromutations and hopeful monsters, is being heard more and more. But that dogma has its own difficulties-nay, impossibilities. It behooves Creationists to be aware of these developments. For from the controversy they can glean arguments against both kinds of evolution, and hence, by elimination, in favor of special Creation.
