    This document outlines the scientific test between the hypotheses of creation and evolution. It presents evidence for both intelligent design and common ancestry or evolution among primates and humans. This includes comparisons of physical traits and behaviors between humans and other primates, as well as the genetic and fossil evidence indicating humans' evolutionary relationship and transitional forms among primates over time. The document aims to reach a conclusion on whether the evidence supports creation or evolution.

    Creation vs.

    Evolution:
    A test using scientific
    method

    Objectives

    Evolutionary Hypothesis

    1
    Intelligent Design Hypothesis

    Do humans resemble apes


    and monkeys?

    Not so fast …

    2
    Primate face (Orangutan)

    Grasping hands with 5 digits,


    thumb, nails & fingerprints
    (vervet monkey & chimpanzee)

    Single pair of mammary glands &


    free hanging penis (macaque,
    bonobo, colobus, hamadryas baboon)

    3
    Cooperative,hierarchical, and
    grooming social groups (chimps,
    baboons, macaques, bonobos)

    Ability to learn and pass on


    knowledge (Japanese macaques)

    Some apes even use tools


    (Chimpanzees)

    4
    Apes have capacity for
    symbolic communication

    Are we biochemically similar?

    Genetic engineering:
    interchangeable genetic code is strong evidence of of
    common ancestry of all life forms on earth

    5
    Does the fossil record indicate
    change over time?

    Do the fossils get more ape-


    like the further back in time?

    Do fossils get more monkey-


    like further back in time?

    6
    Do we find transitional fossils?
    (Genus Proconsul)

    Do we find transitional fossils?


    (Genus Australopithecus)

    Does human body show


    purposeful design?
