Thompson Willis, president of the Creation Science Association of Mid-America, said science can only be used to show diversification of life created with thought and intent about 10,000 years ago.

Mr. Willis used a comb made of petroleum as an example that every complex system whose origin has been witnessed since the advent of science has been made by man.
"Therefore, complex systems whose origins I have not witnessed have been created by acts of creation involving planning and work by one or more intelligent beings," Mr. Willis said."I believe the Bible does give the best history of the world that we have and it does not include evolution."
Mr. Willis argued that observable scientific evidence does not mean life imitates the adaptation of bacteria to withstand medicine.Using the example of humans evolving from apes, he said evolutionists use science to make "extravagant extrapolations" to fit their belief.
"You can go into your kitchen and line spoons up in evolutionary sequence and say they came from forks," he said.
