would have taken more than just millions and
millions of years.
There are over a million different forms of animal
life on earth and at least two hundred thousand
fully developed vegetables species. How could they
all have evolved in just two thousand million years?
Not even an animal low down in the evolutionary
scale could have developed in that time, let alone
man, an advanced life form which could have
developed only after passing through countless
evolutionary stages.
A mathematician, by the name of Professor Patau,
has made certain calculations concerning the
biological changes postulated by the theory of
evolution. According to him, even a minor change
in any species would take one million generations
to be completed. From this, one can gain an idea
how long a period would elapse before a dog, for
example, turned into a horse. The multiple changes
involved in such a complicated evolutionary
process would have taken much too long for them
to have happened during the human lifespan of the
world.
