Preface ~zoio,,tific research demands that the results of its investiga- tor;~; ~rocess be verifiable through.repeated testlng. Dramatic advances in such sciences as mecllcxne, space ana.computers are veriflably evident xn our increased hfe.span, xn our pxn- point landing on the moon, and xn the unemng accuracy of the electronic computer. Researchers in the field of evolution, however, have pro- duced no verifiable facts which would validate their theory - ---:--~ -.. From time to time evolutionists have even conc)us~vc~y . admxtted ignonng real facts and altering.the, theory to fit selected data. In.sp~te of these grossly unsclentff.~c tactics, the theory of evolution continues to be presented ~n textbooks, encyclopedias, and research papers as xf it were a proven and verifiable sc:entff~c fact. . , -. . The author of Darwzns Enigma: fossils and Other Problems has focused the spothght, of truth on the theory of evolution, showing that the dramatic fossd evidence ~ndxcates that all life did not have a common ancestor! There remains only the trust that those with a vested interest in the theory of evolution as currently presented in textbooks O~ will permit an equal pportunity for all students to be exposed to all scientific evxdences and to the only competitive theory of origins. Some local school boards, state school boards, scientists and parents will be dxstressed at the imagined implication of \"religion\" in our public schools. But the theory that life abruptly appeared on Earth is no more a religious absolute than the theory of evolution, for they are both axioms and neither is subject to scientific proof. The time has come for the powers-that-be to recognize that our students at all grade levels are entitled to know both
