How was man formed? Is the theory of evolution a conclusive fact?

• Every single scientific method for determining the date of fossils (and the age of the earth) is based on fallible human assumptions.
• Many of the results of widely-used methods for dating fossils also contradict each other.
• The resources provided in the links below are not exhaustive, and form only a very small portion of available resources that can substantiate the above:

• However, intellectual pride, fear of being viewed as politically incorrect if one mentions a Creationist theory instead and other reasons prevents many people from admitting that there are alternatives to the theory of evolution.

To be fair to students , even on an intellectual level, universities teaching evolution should not present it as if it were a conclusive fact.

• In addition to using textbooks to teach the theory of evolution, we must teach the imperfection of the theory and the gross fallibility of the methods used in dating fossils as well as the inconsistencies in the results they yield.
• Encyclopaedias and textbooks must be revamped in order to offer a fair and unbiased perspective so that readers are not misled into thinking that evolution is a scientific fact.
• For the intellectual development of students and to promote a spirit of inquiry & debate, authorities should allow university lecturers and teachers to present other theories such as the Creationist Theory too.
