Did our grandfathers look like this?

Or like this?

Which evolved first?

and how did it work


without the other?

The Egg or The Hen

The Flower
or
The Bee

Even if evolution is true, then.

Why are
Apes and
Monkeys not
extinct?

Where are the intermediate forms


(missing links) between Ape and Man?

There is no evidence which


would show man developing step
by step from lower forms of life...
there is no such things as
missing links.
Dr. Austin H. Clark
Biologist, Smithsonian Institute

Evolution is not an
established theory but a
tentative hypothesis....
It is not universally accepted.
admitted by Thomas Huxley, who was one of the most
vigorous supporter of Darwin

in famous book Unfinished Animal

The main purpose of


Darwinism was to drive away
every last trace of an
incredible God from biology.

Hidden Truths

from Darwin himself

Darwin writes
I am a firm
believer that
without speculation
there is no good
and original
observation.
in a letter to A. R. Wallace (Dec.22 1857)

Darwin writes
You will be greatly
disappointed. It
(forthcoming book)
will be grievously
too hypothetical.
in a letter, regarding the concluding chapters of The
Origin of the Species (1858)

Darwin confesses
Not one change of
species into another
is on record...we
cannot prove that a
single species has
changed.
towards the end of his life

Moving head
up and down
causes dizziness.

This dizziness is caused


by a change in blood
pressure in the head.

Giraffe
s neck
is 2.5
meters
long

Giraffe
moves its
neck up
and down
very fast.

Special valves in neck,


control the blood flow to
brain.
Elastic blood vessels in the
giraffe's head allow
harboring of enough blood
to prevent the giraffe from
passing out when bent in

If evolution of
this valve is true
then...
lets take a look
at a pre-historic
event

He feels thirsty!!!!
and develops an
headache while
bending down.
He hopes for
evolution of valves!!

Oh!!!

The Darwinian theory is not


the result of scientific
research, but purely the
product of imagination.

The theory of evolution suffers


from grave defects, which are

How simple is a
single cell ?

Once thought to be a
simple bag of chemicals,
the cell is now understood
to be an elaborate system
of molecular machinery
that surpasses a modern
city in complexity.

If it could be demonstrated that


any complex organ existed which
could not possibly have been
formed by numerous, successive,
slight modifications, my theory
would absolutely break down.

This is due to his (living entitys) association with


that material nature (three modes). Thus he meets
with good and evil among various species.
(Bhagavat Gita 13.22)

It is the knot of Karma which forces us to


transmigrate from one body to another.

yad jighkan purua


krtsnyena prakter gun
nava-dvra dvi-hastghri

When the living entity wants to


enjoy the modes of material nature
in their totality, he prefers, out of
many bodily forms, to accept that
body which has nine gates, two
hands and two legs. Thus he
prefers to become a human being
or a demigod.

One attains the human form of life after


transmigrating through 8,400,000 species of life by
the process of gradual evolution. That human form
of life is spoiled for those conceited fools who do not
take shelter of the lotus feet of Govinda [Krsna].

After many births and deaths, he who is


actually in knowledge surrenders unto Me,
knowing Me to be the cause of all causes
and all that is. Such a great soul is very
rare.
(Bhagavat Gita 7.19)

-brahma-bhuvanl lok

From the highest planet in the material


world down to the lowest, all are places of
misery wherein repeated birth and death
take place. But one who attains to My
abode, O son of Kunti, never takes birth
again.
