BRAINWASHED
by Duane T. Gish, Ph.D.

.     (Duane T. Gish, Ph.D. (Biochemistry, University of California, Berkeley) 
is Associate Director of the Institute of Creation Research and Professor of 
Natural Science and Apologetics at Christian Heritage College, San Diego, 
California.  He spent 18 years in biochemical and biomedical research with the 
Upjohn Company and at Cornell University and Berkeley. There are over 450 
scientists with a master's or doctor's degree in some field of natural science 
are now voting members of the Creation Research Society.
 
.     The following lecture was given at the University of California at Davis 
and has been greatly condensed for the sake of space. 

.     As a scientist, I believe we must examine all the evidence and facts 
before we can come to any conclusion on any given subject. I'm asking only one 
thing of this audience... that you examine the facts thoroughly and without 
prejudice.
 
.     The refusal by science teachers to consider creation as a possible 
explanation for the origin of all things, is unwarranted and undesirable. The 
student is being indoctrinated without being given a complete presentation of 
the evidence.
 
.     This situation could be remedied by taking a closer look at both 
creation and evolution.
 
.     First, let's examine the claims of each.  The EVOLUTIONIST states that 
all life gradually evolved from a single cell, which had evolved from dead 
matter.
 
.     CREATIONISTS believe that life and our existence came by the acts of a 
Creator.
 
.     The evidence that the EVOLUTIONIST needs to establish his claims, is 
fossils showing a gradual step-by-step development of lower animal life into 
more and more complex forms.
 
.     And this should be evident by the presence in the fossil record of many 
transitional forms.
 
.     The evidence needed to support CREATION, is fossils showing complex life 
appearing suddenly...with no fossil evidence of lower animals developing into 
new and complex forms of life.
