The first one is:
1. True or False? The fact that DNA in chimps and humans are 98% similar proves they bith have a common ancester.

3. Fill in the blank. Respected evolutionist, David Kitts, said, "Despite the bright promise that paleontology provides a means of 'seeing' evolution, it has presented some nasty difficulties for evolutionists the most nasty difficulties for evolutionists the notorious of which is the presence of 'gaps' in the fossil record. Evolution requires_________ between species and paleontology does not provide them."
A. missing links.
B. much more fossil evidence.
C. intermediate forms.

Although faced with no paleontological way to show one species changing into another, Kitts holds on to his belief in evolution.

Bad wolf is correct.

Don't try to make that as an excuse to say evolution is impossible though, quite clearly water can be pumped uphill...

Two-and-a-half-tohousand years before the birth of modern science, when the brightest thinkers were confident that the universe was eternal, the Bible said that the universe would "wear out:"...the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment" (psalm 102:25,26).
