The 'New Evolutionary Tree.'

ED. COM, Creation Research. 
In spite of their claim of “no prior assumption”, this new evolutionary tree only exists in the minds of the evolutionary palaeontologists who drew it up, who blatantly assume that those they put high in the tree evolved from those they put at the bottom. Their new tree will not explain how this could have happened, any more than the old one did. One vital detail: the classification system was never meant to be a record of evolution. It was developed by the creationist Carl von Linne, often known by the Latin version of his name, Linnaeus. The classification system is simply a method of naming living and fossil organisms, and organising our knowledge of them. How we organise that knowledge makes no difference to the actual organisms. The living ones are observed to exist and reproduce in their separate kinds, until sadly like the dinosaurs, some will predictably die out. Richard Owen, who founded the Natural History Museum, coined the word Dinosaur in 1841, before the theory of evolution was promoted by Darwin. Owen was the leading expert on fossil bones at the time, and when Darwin’s theory become popular Owen was an implacable opponent, as he saw no evidence of it in any of the fossil specimens accumulating in the museum. All evolutionary trees drawn up since the time of Darwin and Huxley have been imposed on the fossils, and are not the result of anyone observing one dinosaur change into another, or into birds. The Natural History Museum’s promotion of Huxley seems to be part of a continuing move to oust founder Owen, that began with removing Owen’s statue from the main entrance and replacing it with Darwin in 2009.
