The Bipedalism Impasse
Human
beings move in a completely different way from
other creatures. No other animal can walk upright
on its two feet as humans do. Evolutionists, however,
claim that the bipedal upright stride of humans
evolved by steps from the apes' quadripedal bent
stride.
This
claim is not true. Firstly, the fossil record
shows that no life form ever had a way of movement
in between the human and the ape stride. Detailed
examinations of the fossil record prove that creatures
of the Australopithecus and Homo habilis classes
walked on all fours and by leaning forward, while
human races such as Homo erectus and Neanderthal
man walked upright just like us. This means that
the bipedal upright stride emerged with humans
for the first time and all of a sudden.
Besides,
anatomical research conducted in recent years
establishes that the gradual evolution of the
ape stride into the human stride is impossible.
In 1996, the British anatomist Robin Crompton,
who conducted research into the bipedal stride
of humans, concluded that a motion in between
the ape stride and the human stride is not possible.
Crompton showed that a living thing can either
walk upright or on all fours. A type of in-between
stride would be quite ineffective.60
The
entire skeletal structure of apes is designed
according to the quadripedal stride. Their
arms are long and their skeleton is bent
forward. Moreover, their hands and feet
are curved to enable them to climb trees.

The immense gap between man
and ape is not limited solely to bipedalism. Many
other issues still remain unexplained such as
brain capacity, the ability to talk, and so on.
Elaine Morgan, an evolutionist paleoanthropologist,
makes the following confession in relation to
this issue:
IMAGINARY
CREATURES
The "half bent" creatures pictured by
evolutionists are actually nothing but figments
of the imagination. Scientific findings
demonstrate that no creatures having a stride
in between that of the ape and man ever
existed in history. |
Four of the most outstanding
mysteries about humans are: 1) why do they walk
on two legs? 2) why have they lost their fur?
3) why have they developed such large brains?
4) why did they learn to speak?
The orthodox answers to these
questions are: 1) 'We do not yet know'; 2) 'We
do not yet know'; 3) 'We do not yet know'; 4)
'We do not yet know'. The list of questions could
be considerably lengthened without affecting the
monotony of the answers.61
In short, "the evolution
of man" is nothing but an unsubstantiated
tale. Man is created by God already equipped with
all the abilities and features he possesses. |
