My Three Main Scientific Arguments Against Evolution
2 likes791 views
The document argues against the theory of evolution, asserting that it denies the existence of a creator and undermines the significance of biblical creation. It presents three main scientific arguments against evolution: the second law of thermodynamics, inadequacies in the fossil record, and the principle of irreducible complexity. The author concludes that evolutionary theory leads to moral relativism and diminishes the spiritual purpose of human life.
![❖ He went on to say:
❖ ‘Yet Gould [Stephen J. Gould—the
now deceased professor of
paleontology from Harvard
University] and the American
Museum people are hard to
contradict when they say there are
no transitional fossils. … You say
that I should at least “show a photo
of the fossil from which each type of
organism was derived.” I will lay it
on the line—there is not one such
fossil for which one could make a
watertight argument.”

My Three Main Scientific Arguments Against Evolution
- 1. Why The Theory of Evolution is a Bad Theory My Three Main Scientific Arguments
- 2. Evolution Tries to Deny that There is a Creator Why Is It Important To Believe in a Creator? For Anyone
- 3. Biblical Creation Establishes ❖ Who is God: The Creator ❖ Who is mankind: Lovingly made by God for God ❖ Why we need a Savior: That Creator declares that mankind is separated from God because mankind disobeyed their Creator.
- 4. Is Evolution True? Let’s Talk Science
- 5. A Huge Bible Revelation How Important is Being Creator to God? About 264 verses talk about creation in 32 books of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation!
- 6. What is a Theory? ❖ Noted Evolutionist Stephen Hawking states, "You can disprove a theory by finding even a single observation that disagrees with the predictions of the theory”. ( Brief History of Time, 1988)
- 7. My Three Arguments ❖ The 2nd law of Thermodynamics ❖ The Fossil Record ❖ The Principle of Irreducible Complexity
- 8. Second Law of Thermodynamics ❖ “The Second Law of Thermodynamics (Entropy) … states that…there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state. .” ( livescience.com) ❖ “Entropy”: a state of disorder.
- 9. The Law of Entropy ❖ A Universal Law of Decay for all living and non-living things ❖ Al things tend toward less stability and order over time ❖ Science has never proven that this law can be circumvented: ❖ "There is no recorded experiment in the history of science that contradicts the second law or its corollaries…” (Physicists G.N. Hatspoulous and E.P. Gyftopoulos)
- 10. ❖ "Of all the statements that have been made with respect to theories on the origin of life, the statement that the Second Law of Thermodynamics poses no problem for an evolutionary origin of life is the most absurd… ❖ The operation of natural processes on which the Second Law of Thermodynamics is based is alone sufficient, therefore, to preclude the spontaneous evolutionary origin of the immense biological order required for the origin of life." (Duane Gish, Ph.D. in biochemistry from University of California at Berkeley)
- 11. ❖ “If Evolution is true, there must be an extremely powerful force or mechanism at work in the cosmos that can steadily defeat the powerful, ultimate tendency toward “disarrangedness” brought by the 2nd Law. ❖ If such an important force or mechanism is in existence, it would seem it should be quite obvious to all scientists. Yet, the fact is, no such force of nature has been found.” (christiananswers.net) ❖ This argument connects to the Principle of Irreducible Complexity & the DNA Information argument
- 12. Habeas Corpus! The Fossil Record Darwin’s Greatest Fear Realized!
- 13. Transitional Fossils ❖ The remains of those creatures which should be found ‘in- between’ one kind of creature and another kind as they evolved from one from to another.
- 14. Dr. Mark Ridley of OxFord U. ❖ Today there are over one hundred million identified and cataloged fossils in the world's museums. ❖ In 1981, evolutionist Dr. Mark Ridley, who was Professor of Zoology at Oxford University, was forced to confess: "In any case, no real evolutionist, whether gradualist or punctuationist, uses the fossil record as evidence in favour of the theory of evolution as opposed to special creation.” (http://www.conservapedia.com/ Evolution_and_the_fossil_record)
- 15. “Evolution" by Dr. Colin Patterson ❖ Dr Colin Patterson, a staunch evolutionist, wrote this book in 1978 while being the senior paleontologist (fossil expert) at the prestigious British Museum of Natural History.
- 16. Dr. Colin Patterson’s Confession ❖ Creationist Luther Sunderland wrote to Dr Patterson inquiring why he had not shown one single photograph of a transitional fossil in his book. Patterson then wrote back with the following amazing confession which was reproduced, in its entirety, in Sunderland’s book Darwin’s Enigma: ❖ Free copy here: http:// www.creationism.org/books/ sunderland/DarwinsEnigma/
- 17. ❖ “I fully agree with your comments on the lack of direct illustration of evolutionary transitions in my book. ❖ If I knew of any, fossil or living, I would certainly have included them. ❖ You suggest that an artist should be used to visualise such transformations, but where would he get the information from? ❖ I could not, honestly, provide it, and if I were to leave it to artistic licence, would that not mislead the reader?” Dr. Colin Patterson’s Confession
- 18. ❖ He went on to say: ❖ ‘Yet Gould [Stephen J. Gould—the now deceased professor of paleontology from Harvard University] and the American Museum people are hard to contradict when they say there are no transitional fossils. … You say that I should at least “show a photo of the fossil from which each type of organism was derived.” I will lay it on the line—there is not one such fossil for which one could make a watertight argument.” Dr. Colin Patterson’s Confession
- 19. Dr. Ernst Mayr ❖ Prominent Harvard biologist in 1980’s who also served as the Director of Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology. Mayr was a staunch evolutionist and atheist who maintained that evolution was a fact, ❖ yet in 1982 Mayr was compelled to make the following admission regarding the fossil record in relation to the theory of evolution: "Even the fossil record fails to substantiate any continuity and all novelties appear in the fossil record quite suddenly.” (http:// www.conservapedia.com/ Evolution_and_the_fossil_record#cite_note -creationscience.com-1)
- 20. Archaeopteryx: Transitional Fossil Fail ❖ Called a transitional form between reptiles and birds ❖ Dr. Alan Feduccia, a world authority on birds and an evolutionist himself, has stated the following regarding Archaeopteryx: ❖ “Paleontologists have tried to turn Archaeopteryx into an earth-bound, feathered dinosaur. But it’s not. It is a bird, a perching bird. And no amount of ‘paleobabble’ is going to change that.” (ibid:conservapedia.com)
- 21. ❖ “But just in proportion as this process of extermination has acted on an enormous scale, so must the number of intermediate varieties, which have formerly existed, be truly enormous. ❖ Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against the theory. ❖ The explanation lies, as I believe, in the extreme imperfection of the geological record.” (Darwin: Origin the Species, Chapter 10) Darwin himself wrote:
- 22. Changes Not Gradual ❖ Richard Dawkins explains the problem well: “Evolution is very possibly not, in actual fact, always gradual. ❖ But it must be gradual when it is being used to explain the coming into existence of complicated, apparently designed objects, like eyes. ❖ For if it is not gradual in these cases, it ceases to have any explanatory power at all. Without gradualness in these cases, we are back to miracle, which is simply a synonym for the total absence of explanation.”
- 23. Changes Not Gradual ❖ If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.” ❖ Darwin, C. (1872) Origin of Species, 6th ed. (1988), New York University Press, New York, p. 154.

- 31. Unconstitutional to Teach ID ❖ HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 20, 2005 - A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that it was unconstitutional for a Pennsylvania school district to present intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in high school biology courses because it is a religious viewpoint that advances "a particular version of Christianity." ❖ John E. Jones III, provided strong support for scientists who have fought to bar intelligent design from the science curriculum. ❖ Judge Jones also excoriated members of the Dover, Pa., school board, who he said lied to cover up their religious motives, made a decision of “breathtaking inanity" and "dragged" their community into "this legal maelstrom with its resulting utter waste of monetary and personal resources." ❖ "In China its O.K. to criticize Darwin but not the government, while in the United States its O.K. to criticize the government, but not Darwin." (Chinese Paleontologist Dr. Jun Yaun. Chen)
- 32. Consequences of This Theory ❖ God’s glory as Creator is denied ❖ Belief in God and the Bible is weakened by “experts” ❖ Human life = just accidental animal life. ❖ Abortion is fine! Euthanasia is great! Eugenics is good! ❖ The spiritual purpose and destiny of human life is lost ❖ There is no absolute basis for morality or legal laws ❖ No God. No sin. No sin, no need for a Savior. ❖ We can so do as we please. Sexual morality is whatever we like. ❖ Life is just about being the “fittest” to survive. Some people are not valuable
- 33. No Absolute Morality ❖ Your concept of origins greatly determines your self- worth, the purpose of life and how you live that life. ❖ If there is no God, there is no basis for morality except what we make it. Man becomes the sole judge of what is right and wrong at any given time. ❖ Historically, human behavior has been largely controlled only by one of two things: by religion or by force.
- 34. ❖ Teachers and professors who try to teach origins by Intelligent Design are persecuted by our schools & government agencies. ❖ Students are ridiculed and not allowed to discuss alternate theories. Persecution of Non-Evolutionists
- 35. ❖ “We tear down arguments, and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God…” (2 Cor. 10:5) ❖ “…we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more like Christ.” (Eph. 4:15) ❖ “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” (1 Peter 3:15) Our Job Today As Christians
- 36. No Trustworthy Bible ❖ Denies God as Creator: Genesis, Psalms 104, Job 37-40, Isaiah, Mark 10:6, Luke 3: 23-38 ❖ Denies Jesus as Creator: John 1:3, Col. 1:16, Heb. 1:3 ❖ If God is not Creator, what else in the Bible is not true? ❖ College & High School kids get confused about their faith when “experts” prove that God did not create us.
