Naik - 25 mistakes in 5 min (6.2)

There’s one thing about Zakir Naik that makes people really think that he knows what he’s talking about, and that’s when he’s able to share facts, randomly, and very quickly from the top of his head in such a manner that makes you think, wow, he’s a very intelligent man. But a friend of mine sat down and went through a five minute talk of his once, and in that five minutes, he was able to make over 25 mistakes. Charles Darwin went on an island by the name of Keletropist There is no such island as the Keletropist” islands anywhere. It was actually the Galapagos Islands that Darwin visited where he found finches. and there he found birds pecking at niches. These finches do not “peck at niches as Naik says. They lived in separate ecological niches Depending upon the ecological niches they peck, the beaks kept on becoming long and short. The differences Darwin observed between these finches were far more than simply beak length, they included differences in color, size, mating behavior, songs, and preferred food. This observation was made in the same species, not in different species. Darwin’s observations of varying beaks were made on fourteen different species of finches, not just one as Dr Naik claims. The beak length actually did not vary within the species. Charles Darwin wrote a letter to his friend, Thomas Thromtan, All of Darwin’s published correspondence is printed and even available electronically online, and it contains no record of anyone named Thomas Thromtan, Charles Darwin himself said that there were missing links, he did not agree with it, Darwin admitted that there were missing links, but that does not mean he disagreed with his own theory— he simply predicted where the missing links would be found. the reason is because that if you analyze the church, the church was against science previously. The church was never against science--- almost all the great European scientists of Galileo’s time, including Galileo, were devout Christians. People like Newton, Copernicus, Kepler, Boyle, Linnaeus, Pascal were all committed believers in the Bible. And you know the incident that they sentenced Galileo to death; they sentenced Galileo to death. Galileo, a devout Catholic, was never sentenced to death. He was sentenced to life imprisonment on June 22, 1633 and then that sentence was commuted to house arrest. He died more than eight years later on the evening of January 8, 1642 of old age. Galileo believed that his theories fit with the Bible, and he wrote a book arguing this based on early interpretations of Christians like Augustine. Naik goes on to make the same false statement two more times, but let's only count it as one factual error. so all the scientists, most of them, they supported the theory because it went against the Bible, not because it was true. Actually, most scientists did not support Darwin’s theory for many years, and most of these same scientists revered the Bible. Basically, this account by Dr. Naik is a total fabrication. All the stages— there were four "homonites," Everything Dr. Naik says here is wrong. There is no such word as “homonites. He must mean hominids. Science tells us today that there were four "homonites." There are not a mere “four” hominids, there are at least fourteen. First is "Lucy" along with its guy [sic] Dosnopytichest, There is no such hominid as “dosnopytchest. Lucy was an Australopithecus afarensis. which died about 3 and ½ million years (the Ice Age). The ice age was not 3 1/3 million years ago. It was between 1.6 million years and 10,000 years ago. Then next came the *** sapiens who died out about five hundred thousand years ago. *** sapiens did not die out 500 thousand years ago. You and I and even Zakir Naik are *** sapiens Then came the "Neanderthal Man," According to evolutionary theory Neanderthal man was not on the direct line to modern man, but an ice-age offshoot. who dies a hundred to forty thousand years ago. Neanderthal man went extinct 30 thousand years ago, not “a hundred to forty thousand years ago. Then came the fourth stage, the "CroMagnon; Cro-Magnon man is the same thing as *** Sapiens, which Naik had mentioned as a different earlier species. there is no link at all between these stages. Actually, evolutionary biologists have found many examples of what they claim to be links between these stages, for example *** habilis, *** ergaster, and *** heidelbergensis. If you know of Sir Albert Georgie, who got the Nobel Prize for inventing the vitamin C, Györgyi didn’t invent Vitamin C, he discovered it. Vitamin C is a naturally occurring substance that doesn’t need to be invented. he wrote the book, "The Crazy Ape and Man" against Darwin's theory. Albert Szent-Györgyi’s book was not called The Crazy Ape and Man but simply The Crazy Ape, and it was not a refutation of evolution but a sociological commentary. If you know about Ruperts Albert Who is Ruperts Albert? I can find no trace of anybody with that name. If you know about Whitemeat, Sir Whitemeat, Whitemeat? Who is Sir Whitemeat? For the fourth time, no trace can be found of anybody wirh this name. At lower levels an amoeba at the lower species level amoeba can change to parameshia. There is no such thing as a “paremishia. Perhaps he means paramecium. But the evolutionary change of an amoeba to a paramecium is far more dramatic biologically than the relatively small biological difference between apes and humans According to Henses Crake who is an authority in this field he said, "It is unimaginable." There is no such person as “Henses Crake. Naik probably means Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of DNA. Francis Crick believes fully in evolution.
