Another Evolutionary "Revision"

As has often been reported throughout this ministry’s history, evolutionists regularly have to revise their mythology because of new discoveries or scientific breakthroughs. Conversely, no new discovery or scientific breakthrough has ever required a revision but rather confirmation of God’s flawless record – the Bible. Case in point, the evolutionary tale of mammals has just received another revision.


The standard mythos states that “…the end of the Cretaceous brought the eradication of dinosaurs on land and of large swimming reptiles in marine environments.”¹ Indeed, as a matter of faith, most evolutionists believe only those creatures went extinct from their apocalypse 66 million years ago while all other creatures survived [Figure 1].² As the University of California, Berkley admits, “There has been no settlement to the issue so far, and no clear one is foreseeable… The main problem… is the issue of the selectivity of the mass extinction… some organisms were wiped out, while others were unaffected.”³ Their asteroid sure was a picky one, killing only dinosaurs and large marine reptiles.



However, this allows in their story for the rise of mammals. As Encyclopedia Britannica explains:

"The Cenozoic witnessed a rapid diversification of life-forms in the ecological niches left vacant by this great terminal Cretaceous extinction (or K–T extinction). In particular, mammals, which had existed for more than 100 million years before the advent of the Cenozoic Era, experienced substantial evolutionary radiation."

Until then, mammals had remained quite small and limited in their evolutionary development for over 100 million years.⁵ But once those pesky dinosaurs were gone, mammals exploded in size, covering the planet!


But wouldn’t you know it, a new discovery published by Scientific Reports in July messed up that whole story. As the authors stated, “Mesozoic mammals are commonly depicted as having lived in the shadows of their larger dinosaurian contemporaries… It was not until after the end-Cretaceous extinction of the non-avian⁶ dinosaurs that mammals grew to large body sizes and regularly preyed on the available avifauna.”⁷ Unfortunately for the evolutionary faithful, this too must now be revised:

“Here we report a new fossil find… showing a gobiconodontid mammal and psittacosaurid dinosaur locked in mortal combat [Figure 2] …this new fossil convincingly demonstrates that mammals could pose a threat even to near fully-grown dinosaurs.”¹⁰


The fact is the fossil record never needs a revision for the evolutionary story because the fossil record is a refutation of the evolutionary story. Discovery after discovery forces another modification or alteration by the evolution apologists, yet the historical record laid out in God’s Word, including the global flood and resulting fossil record, remains perfect, never needing any revisions. True science ALWAYS confirms “Thy Word is truth” (John 17:17).

lined up books

Over the course of time a person can accumulate many things. Most of the stuff we collect is meaningless to most everyone else, but when a person collects books, they can be treasured for a lifetime and even beyond. In this age of digital media, physical books seem to be less important to many people. Digital books are searchable, and copy/paste functions make it easy to use those great quotes. Yet, there is still something great about a physical book, things you can’t get digitally: the turning of pages, the feel of it in your hand, and the “book” smell. For our founder Dr. Sharp, physical books could never be replaced by digital. While my collection of books is growing each year, it is dwarfed by Dr. Sharp’s collection. Over the years he collected thousands of titles for research and enjoyment. Through the course of his ministry he had to sell his book collection a couple of different times to support his family, only to start collecting again when he was able to do so. When Doc passed his office full of packed bookshelves to me and said he would clear the shelves, I laughed out loud at the prospect of having loads of empty bookshelves. So I urged him to instead leave his books for my, and anyone else’s, use. Little did I understand that the four bookcases in my office were only a fraction of his entire collection. A couple of years back when Doc moved from his house, it was decided that his book collection would be stored at the office. Our thought was to establish a library, yet none of us had time to plan, organize and catalog all 79 boxes of books. They sat piled in his office until last year when my daughter Megan joined our ministry. She has a love of books, both reading and writing. So we offered her the task of cataloging and establishing Doc’s library. Can you picture me, a bbq lover, being offered a table full of succulent smoked offerings - brisket, sausage, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, turkey and all sides? Yep, that was Megan’s response to the library. For over four months she cataloged and organized the entire collection. The Dr. G. Thomas Sharp Library was completed earlier this year in his old office space, with overflow into my office. The entire 2700+ volume agglomeration is digitally cataloged for searching and locating. As you might expect, there is an extensive collection of creation and evolution subject matter, yet the library is full of many different categories. It very much reflects Doc’s love of gaining knowledge and research. An extensive commentary collection and multiple Biblical reference sections are invaluable to our ministry. There is even a whole bookcase housing books that are over 100 years old. Our desire was not to just house books but to also make a place of honor and inspiration. One wall exhibits Doc’s many diplomas, and throughout the library we have placed personal memorabilia of the mission trips he took over the years. Come, grab a book, relax in the sitting area and allow Doc’s handwritten notes from the margins or post-it notes bring a smile to your face. For those who may be more ambitious, Doc's office chair resides at the credenza for anyone to sit and be inspired to study. This is a place to honor Doc’s life and love for books. We at CTF have already utilized this great resource for further study, and we are so thankful to Diane and their family for donating these books for continued Kingdom growth. Blessings.
