False Teachings and Frauds That Convinced the World of a Terrible Lie ... Evolution
Chris Ashcraft
Saturday, Sept. 19, 2026
Most people believe in evolution not because of scientific findings that prove the theory, but simply because it is widely believed by others. Today natural history and evolution are taught as absolute facts, but is there really any proof to support their claims?
Chris Ashcraft will examine the many false teachings and outright frauds that have convinced the world that humans are merely the result of natural processes. The evidence for the origin of life, transitional forms, and ape-men will be examined to show that these components of the theory of evolution are without support.
