“Blessed are ye, when men shall
hate you, and when they shall
separate you from their company,
and shall reproach you, and cast
out your name as evil, for the Son
of man's sake.”
Luke 6:22
“I have given them thy word; and
the world hath hated them,
because they are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world.”
John 17:14

Amherst school board hopefuls speak at meeting
“Chairman Jones Stanley is seeking third term on the school board after
serving as trustee since 2006. Edward Olivares, of Monroe, is challenging
Stanley for his seat as the District 3 representative to the school board.”
[Olivares is a native of the Philippines, moved to U.S. at age 12 and is a
graduate of U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He became interested in
serving on the school board while serving as a substitute teacher with
Amherst County Public Schools.]

Amherst school board hopefuls speak at meeting
“During that time, Olivares said he became concerned with science textbooks
that state global warming is caused by human activity and those that teach
Darwinian evolution. As part of the school board, he said he would like to
review the divisions textbooks.”
“Olivares said he also is concerned with Darwinian evolution ‘being taught as
fact and settled science which it is not.’ Single-celled organisms have not
changed significantly through the millions of years they say evolution has
taken place.”
“It is a theory, and that theory is being blown apart,” Olivares said.

Supervisors vote not to reappoint Stanley to
school board
“During the two votes – the reappointment of Stanley and the appointment of
Olivares – supervisors Don Kidd, John Marks and David Pugh voted against
the candidates and supervisors Claudia Tucker and Robert Curd voted in favor.”
“In an emailed statement, Pugh wrote he wanted a candidate for the District
3 opening that would be a team player and willing to work with others of
different viewpoints. Based on the candidates answers during the public
interview on June 3, Pugh wrote he found neither candidate appropriate for
appointment.”

Supervisors vote not to reappoint Stanley to
school board
“…I found that neither one of these candidates displayed the characteristics and
temperament that would allow the County of Amherst to evolve and grow to
provide the best Education at the best cost to our students, families, and taxpayers,”
Pugh wrote.
“During Tuesday’s meeting, Kidd said he received numerous emails from
constituents concerned about Olivares. ‘It was almost like he had his own
personal agenda,’ Kidd said. Marks said he did not agree with all of Olivares’
philosophies.

Supervisors vote not to reappoint Stanley to
school board
“The Amherst Education Association, an advocacy group of about 100 school
employees, seeks a referendum on the November ballot to elect school board
members. More than 2,000 signatures must be collected by September to be placed
on this year’s ballot.”
• The Public Education System is very protective of its own power and its
monopoly on the influence it holds over our young people.
• Differing viewpoints, especially ones that challenge the status quo, are strongly
discouraged. The system discourages free and critical thinking and
leads towards a condition known as “groupthink.” By suppressing
dissenting views and isolating themselves from outside influences they
lock themselves into a system of thought which discourages independent
thinking and creativity.
• Qualifications include being a “team-player” and “tolerant of other viewpoints.”
Translation:
Be a good comrade and don’t rock the boat!

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in
the counsel of the ungodly, nor
standeth in the way of sinners, nor
sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
and in his law doth he meditate day and
night.”
Psalm 1:1-2
We pay taxes so our
school systems can
use proven lies to
promote evolution in
the classroom.

DOES THE FOSSIL RECORD SUPPORT EVOLUTION?
The fossil record
has turned out to
be a complete
embarrassment
for evolutionists.

“The evolutionary
trees that adorn our
textbooks have data
only at the tips and
nodes of their
branches; the rest is
inference, however
reasonable, not the
evidence of fossils.”

“Why then is not every geological
formation and every stratum full
of such intermediate links?
Geology assuredly does not
reveal any such finely graduated
organic chain, and this, perhaps,
is the most obvious and gravest
objection which can be urged
against my theory.”
Charles Darwin

• Circular Dating Methods
• Fossils are a portal to the past
• Sedimentation takes millions of years

The bones develop
from different

organisms.
Evolutionists
cannot explain this
and seldom
discuss it.
Similar design might
be evidence that
the same Designer
made them.

DOES EMBRYOLOGY SUPPORT EVOLUTION?
“The similarity
between early stages
in the development of
many different
animals helped
convince Darwin that
all forms of life shared
common ancestors.”
“Darwin considered
this ‘by far the
strongest single
class of facts in
favor of’ his theory.”
Icons of Evolution, p. 82
DOES EMBRYOLOGY SUPPORT EVOLUTION?
A set of 19th century drawings that still
appear in reference books…are badly
misdrawn, says an embryologist in Britain.
Although Haeckel confessed to drawing
from memory and was convicted of fraud at
the University of Jena, the drawings persist.
“That’s the real mystery,” says Richardson.

DOES GENETICS SUPPORT EVOLUTION?

believed that
genetics is on
the side of
evolution.

Evolution is based on two
faulty assumptions:
1. mutations make something new
2. natural selection makes it
survive and take over the
population.
“No matter how
numerous they may be,
mutations do not produce
any kind of evolution.”
Pierre-Paul Grasse, Evolution of Living
Organisms 1977, p. 88
They rearrange existing
information but do not increase
genetic complexity.

SELECTS;
it does not CREATE new
information!
“Natural selection can
act only on those
biologic properties that
already exist; it cannot
create properties in
order to meet
adaptational needs.”

DOES BIOGEOGRAPHY SUPPORT EVOLUTION?
1. They minimize the great differences
between species and emphasize the
similarities.
2. The Continental Drift theory is often used
to explain evolution.

DOES BIOGEOGRAPHY SUPPORT CREATION?
1. In a post-flood world, flora and fauna
could be transported transoceanically
on vegetation mats, or ice bridges, or
transported by man.
2. Migration to new habitats and partial
extinction.
3. Speciation (adaptation to new climate)
