Facts and Fallacies of the Fossil Record:
Re-Evaluating the Supposed Evidences for Human Evolution

By Brett A. Rutherford

Publisher’s Statement

I have been amazed again and again with the all-out effort being put forth by the so-called scientists and learned men of our day to force the theory of evolution on our schools, countries, and the world. It is promoted through school books, guides in National Parks, archaeolgists, and through many other avenues. Any time the age of the world, pre-historic plants and animals, rivers, mountains, and the planetary system are being discussed, time is always spoken of in terms of millions, hundreds of millions, or billions of years.

It is obvious that any explanation of beginnings is more acceptable to many than the biblical story of how the earth and every living creature came into existence. A majority of people would accept the theory of evolution over the facts and truth of God’s creation simply because that is what they have been taught since the earliest stages of education. As a result, many people cannot bring themselves to believe that there is a God who knows more and is more powerful than humanity. Instead of showing their intelligence, they show their ignorance. As the Bible says, one day their knees will bow and their tongues will acknowledge their Creator.

I am very happy to present to you Brett Rutherford, son of brother and sister Rod Rutherford, good friends of ours, who has written an excellent book which deals with fossil records. He not only has a commendable academic record but he has also been involved in numerous excavations. Coming from a missionary family that has worked in Zambia and Australia, he and his family are presently living in and doing missionary work in Australia.

I will not attempt to re-write what Brett has said, but I do want to encourage you to read his book and to evaluate the things he has to say. I think you will find it to be well-written, based on solid research and facts, not theory. I further hope that it will reconfirm your faith in God and His awesome creation.
