NJBibleScience.org Pre-men Fossil Catalogs ?
31
The question is why is there not more work done in pre-men Systematics ? The last catalog of fossil was made in 1976. At that time the following fossilized individuals were found – roughly 4000;
Africa 1,390(1976)
Europe and USSR 1,516(1969,1970)
Americas, Asia, Australia
1,092(1974)
Marvin Lubenow estimates the current total to be 7000 in (2004);

NJBibleScience.org A Class Exercise
32
Can the lineage of man be found in the scientific literature?
Each of the 30 college students were given 5 “pre-men” fossils
Rules:1) Minimum 8 hours of research
2) At 5 evolutionist sources / no creationist material
3) Find the date
4) Find the category (Homo sapiens, Homo erectus, Homo habilis, Neanderthal, australopithecine)
When the students put the evolutionists’ results together the theory of evolution was falsified !
