Reverse Evolution of Man

By Anthony Lariccia

This non-fiction book is called "Reverse Evolution of Man" with a sub-title "The Evolution Darwin Never Saw Proves Man Was Created and Why Evolution Occurs." A second sub-title at the base of the book cover is "Explains Why Creationists and Evolutionists are Both Right."

Reverse Evolution was unknown to Darwin and today’s scientific community. It is discussed in easy-to-understand layman’s language and uses scientific evidence, not the Bible, to support its occurrence and prove that man was created and not evolved from a single cell out of the ocean. This book supports the creationist's theory but not the belief that the earth is only 6,000 years old. It also supports the evolution theory but not the belief that evolution was the cause of man's beginning, but of man's current evolution. The theory of "Reverse Evolution" as explained in this book, is the bond that ties Creation and evolution into one. Creationists and evolutionists are shown to be both right as you will read in the many stories detailed in this book.

Book preview

Reverse Evolution of Man

It all began when an eighth-grade student asked his teacher, a nun, his obsessed question that neither she nor his high school or college teachers could answer. The question was: Was Adam and Eve created before or after the caveman? As explained in the book, answers before or after are incorrect because of a paradox they create. But one answer has to be correct, so which is it? The question remained unanswered for more than 50 years. Throughout these years, the author takes the reader on a trip through time and reviews events that influenced the world’s understanding of Creation and evolution that helped uncover the answer to his question.

The journey begins with an inside-the-beltway story revealing the insight the author gained in problem solving in an electronics and medical manufacturer R&D facility. Using learned scientific methods, a microscopic look at Genesis six days of Creation, as written in the first chapter of the Old Testament of the Bible, was priority number one. The goal was to determine when in time each of the Genesis days occurred and how long each lasted. Adam’s appearance on the last day of creation was key to this examination. It revealed an unknown evolution of man, best described as Reverse Evolution, that occurred after Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden of Eden millions of years ago.

Reverse Evolution was unknown to Darwin and today’s scientific community. It is discussed in easy-to-understand layman’s language and the scientific evidence to support its occurrence. It reveals the answer as to when Adam was created relative to the caveman. Reverse Evolution supports the Genesis creation story. It also provides the logic for what Darwin witnessed and wrote about, called evolution.

If you are a faith-based believer in Genesis, this book will explain how a new scientific theory can support a religious belief in Creation and a scientific belief in evolution.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

It is a plus for the reader of any nonfiction book to know something about the author’s chemistry. What turns them on or off? What drives them? What makes them who they are? This knowledge does one thing: It provides an inside-the-beltway understanding about the author and why they put the story down on paper the way that they did. The following chapter, Inside the Beltway, provides the skinny about the author of this book. The 38 pages contained in this chapter cover a period of 60 years. It details the specific events that influenced the author during this period of time and illustrates how that experience contributed to his ability to find the answers he was looking for. It is a fast read.

ABOUT THIS BOOK

After eight years of handwriting this book, I wound up with an 889-page manuscript. Turning the handwritten pages into typed pages reduced the overall number of pages to 441. After that, I made the decision to remove all of the fluff. This is the extra, nonessential text that appears in chapters of a fiction writer’s manuscript to increase the size of the book. Because this is a nonfiction book, my decision was to eliminate all of the fluff. The result was this 130-plus-page book.

This book supports the creationist’s theory but not the belief that the earth is only 6,000 years old. It also supports the evolution theory but not the belief that evolution was the cause of man’s beginning, but of man’s current evolution. The theory of Reverse Evolution, as explained in this book, is the bond that ties Creation and evolution into one. Creationists and evolutionists are both right, as you will read.

SUMMARY

PART ONE

INSIDE THE BELTWAY

Out of the closet

It all started when I came out of the closet in 1953 while in the eighth grade at Sacred Heart Catholic School in Erie, Pa. No, not that kind of closet! Let me explain. It was the spring of 1953, and during our scheduled religion class, I raised my hand to ask a question. Sister Agnes, our teacher and school principal, called on me. I stood up alongside my desk. Like the rest of the students, I was apprehensive of any action that got Sister to focus on you.

She was loud, tough and wielded her 250 pounds on a five foot six inch frame that put the fear of God in just about anyone she approached. Her tactics today in a classroom would put her in jail. As I stood up, the drive that made me ask my question flashed through my mind at the speed of light. Things of science were my passion. Unfortunately, there was no science class in our Catholic grade school. Most grade schools in the ’40s and ’50s lacked science instruction. Anything that students learned about science came from their history class. During my fourth through eighth grades, I learned what I could about science outside of the classroom. While my classmates were playing baseball during summer vacation, I was reading my subscription to Popular Science magazine. I talked my mother into buying a subscription as a birthday present when I was in the fourth grade. It was my favorite magazine. I would also read science books from the public library.

Personal science projects contributed to my hands-on learning experience. My first experiment was capturing bees and cutting off their stingers to see what they looked like under my 300-power microscope. Mom bought it for me as a Christmas present. This project ended after my first sting by a dead bee. My microscope still kept me busy looking at pond water and plant leaves. By the time I reached the eighth grade, my science prowess was well beyond that of my classmates who received little science instruction in school. My yearly subscription to Popular Science and library books provided me with a wealth of information about a broad range of science subjects.

Throughout all of my years growing up, I was always mesmerized by science and, more specifically, the oddities in science. Why, I would ask, can you put a magnet on one side of your hand and an iron ball on the other side and not feel the magnetic field that travels through your hand to roll the ball on the other side? Why can light travel through glass without breaking it? Is magnetism like light? I bet you never gave any thought to these facts. It’s something everyone takes for granted. Did you ever ask why the glass doesn’t break? Probably not. People don’t give any thought to these amazing phenomena. A magnetic field can pass through my hand, and I can’t feel it. So What! Ninety-nine percent of the seven billion people on this planet would probably say the same thing. I am the exception. Yeah, I’m the weirdo! I have spent countless hours thinking about things that occur in nature that most people blow off as so what.

I am always asking, Why does this phenomenon happen? What’s the reason for it? How can it be explained? What is it revealing? Why is something happening that shouldn’t happen? The more unusual the effect, the more I find myself mesmerized. If I were born in the early 1800s, I would be wondering how the sun could keep burning without using up all of its fuel. I would have gone to my grave never knowing the answer, but my mind would have been stimulated for a lifetime.

In the spring of 1953, with just a few months of school remaining before graduating from the eighth grade, I thought that it was time to unload one of my thought-provoking questions. I was feeling confident in myself because of the recognition I had received the previous week from the parish priest. He taught us a religion class once a month. He challenged the class to write a paper explaining how they know God exists? First place would receive a recognition award during graduation. Father had selected three finalists from which he would pick first place. He told the class that my report was the most creative because I wrote a short story instead of religious Bible quotes used by everyone else in their reports. He read my two-page story to the class. The downside was that I had the most spelling errors, more mistakes than the rest of the class combined. My paper had to be disqualified. Yet, when the priest told the class that my report was the most creative, it gave me the courage to raise my hand and ask our principal my question. So, I raised my hand.

The Question That Started It All

Yes Anthony, said Sister Agnes, our school principal, who was standing in front of the class.

Sister, I have a question I would like to ask.

And that question is? she inquired.

My question is when were Adam and Eve created? Before or after the caveman?

Sister, who was standing three feet in front of me, leaned forward in what I thought was an attempt to intimidate me.

OBVIOUSLY, she blurted out, Before the caveman.

Sister, I shyly responded, I have a problem with that answer.

The class all gasped.

Oh, you do? she said inquisitively.

Well, Mr. Lariccia, and what seems to be your big problem?

I backed up to get some distance from her in anticipation of her favorite sport, hair pulling.

Well, Sister, Father told us that during the story of Creation that God created Adam and Eve in His image and likeness.

I don’t see a problem with that, Mr. Lariccia, Sister barked.

"Here’s what’s so confusing to me, Sister. From pictures in science books, primitive cave
