It violates the the 1st (you cannot create energy, only change it's form; energy and mass cannot come from nothing) & 2nd (energy dissapates)Laws of thermodynamics, Biogenesis (you can only get life from life) and cause and effect (an observed event can be traced or linked to an event that preceded it) And was the Holocaust wrong? Most people say yes but if evolution is true Hitler was the most fit for his environment and it was survival of the fittest -- that's also an absolute truth.

Why don’t evolutionists discuss the “Cambrian explosion,” in which all major animal groups appear together in the fossil record fully formed instead of branching from a common ancestor – which contradicts the evolutionary tree of life? Why do evolutionists use drawings of similarities in vertebrate embryos as evidence for their common ancestry – even though biologists have known for over a century that vertebrate embryos are not most similar in their early stages, and the drawings are faked? Why do evolutionists claim that beak changes in Galapagos finches during a severe drought can explain the origin of species by natural selection – even though the changes were reversed after the drought ended, and no net evolution occurred? Why do evolutionists use fruit flies with an extra pair of wings as evidence that DNA mutations can supply raw materials for evolution – even though the extra wings have no muscles and these disabled mutants can’t survive outside the laboratory?

Lets put one thing straight first.
PURE Science and PURE Religion do not contradict each other
Evolution is a Scientific THEORY it is NOT Pure Science.
God has Created Rules and follows them.
God is Logical he does not contradict himself.
There is only ONE True Religion.
Evolution is a theory that all living creatures evolved from some a common evolutionary ancestor.
Evolution also states that this creature evolved from rocks and rain. the reverse steps are
animals and plants - single celled organism - prehistoric cell and mitocondria and chloroplasts - ooze that contains building blocks of life - rocks and acid rain - lava and gases from volcanoes.
that is what unpure-science claims you evolved from
Evolutionary Theory also is missing too many pieces to make a detailed map or picture. like making a puzzle with only 0.1% to 1% of the pieces. doesn't work period.
and since religion gives the only other alternative i'll have to go with the belief that we ARE created by God.
after all how does a quatinary biological programing language (DNA) that works actually come into existance by accident.
there is too much order in the universe for it to have just happened.

1) The first law of thermodynamics has nothing to do with evolution. Nobody is disputing whether energy/matter can be created or destroyed. If you are referring to the big bang theory, this does not dispute this law either.
2)The 2nd law (entropy) involves a closed system becoming more disordered with time. This is a common argument used by fundies against evolution being possible. The Earth is not a closed system. That is how our life and planet continually develop. The Earth receives mass amounts of energy from the sun all the time. Gravity from the moon would also cancel this out, but to a lesser extreme.
3)Abiogenesis cannot be completely proven because of the immense time scale involved. The primary steps, however can be.Electrical and thermal energy can produce the primary components necessary for life in a matter of hours. So we know that life is almost improbable (definitely not impossible) to produce from lifelessness. But when this improbability is stretched over a time scale in the billions of years, it becomes very probable that life will come to be.
4)Cause and effect is exactly how evolution works. I do not understand how it would dispute it.
5)Evolution has nothing to do with human extremists behavior. Hitler is a product of society, not evolution.

The second law of thermodynamics, firstly, states that energy must decline in a closed environment. As the earth takes energy from the sun, it is an open environment. In fact, there's no proof that the universe is even closed.
Evolution does not state that something came from nothing. It does not state how life was formed. It simply states what happens to life after it arrived.
Microevolution has been proved multiple times in labs and nature. {finches, fruit flies}.
Macroevolution is something scientists have just begun to watch in the past century. It takes more time than that.
Many scientists consider humans above other animals in terms of evolution. We have the ability to preserve or destroy life on a much larger scale. Hitler was not the 'fittest' for his environment. He was not competing for food sources or a watering hole. He had so many medical problems that had he been forced to honestly compete, he might have been one of the 'weaker'.

You state that you cannot create energy, only change its form. If evolution isn't the changing of form (albeit over millions of years), then I don't know what is. Secondly, evolution explains how life evolved but does not claim to know how the first form of life was created, unlike creationists. As for linking an event to an event that preceded it, I have one word for you - FOSSILS!
Hitler, most fit for his environment? Hardly! ...since he ended his life in a bunker, having been defeated by a stronger force (combined human effort)! Moreover, evolutionists merely describe a process and do not debate any moral issues, since that process is an unconscious one, so really that question is irrelevant.
Absolute truth? Wow...what's yours then?

Everyone believes in something, this helps them provide solutions and excuses the way things really are ,I seen a werewolf last night it bite me now as the story would go I'm supposed to be a hairy and change into a some sort of man eating beast,folklore our truth , many books and documentaries will say any thing exists only to keep the world from living a life of disbelieve ,what about when you found out about go old saint nick

1. Everything in the universe is a manifestation of energy, energy never dissipates, it only changes form. Re-read the chapter on thermodynamics. Who says you can only get life from life? On this planet, life is carbon based, so you can only get life if this element is factored in. didn't scientists create simple life forms in a test tub environment employing water, sunlight and other ingredients? I believe this has occurred.
The Holocaust was not natural evolution. It was the attempt to eliminate what were considered lesser humans in order to form a so-called master race.
If he had succeeded, I am sure that the master race itself would develop flaws because genes act independently of human desires.

You are clueless about evolution, clueless about Hitler, don't know what evolution REALLY says ("we probably all came from a common ancestor"), don't know anything about DNA, genetic modification, how gamma rays change the sequences of DNA that results in mutations creating entirely new species... the only thing you are doing here is holding up a great big sign that reads "I don't know what I'm talking about". Learn the truth or those of us that know it will destroy your lies. BTW: Hitler LOST the war - so much for being the "fittest"! GO BACK TO SCHOOL.

you're incorrect in thinking a equipment can't income order (shrink in entropy). A equipment can shrink in entropy, in spite of the shown fact that, while a metamorphosis to a equipment is made, the entropy of the universe could desire to the two stay the comparable, or develop. So purely the entropy of the universe can't shrink. Plutonium decays time beyond regulation to variety a greater sturdy equipment, as do many different issues in nature. actually while some thing loses skill this is frequently to get to a greater sturdy state wherein there is greater order. lower back, it is not a contravention of any regulation of thermodynamics. and then we could desire to evaluate the alternative which you recommend. shouldn't thermodynamics prepare to God?

People believe in evolution because (a) it is established science -- it fits the evidence, and makes accurate predictions, and (b) because it is provably correct. [Write me via avatar if you want the details.] The notion that evolution somehow violates the laws of thermodynamics is wrong; the sun provides enough entropy to run the whole thing. And, trying to apply evolution theory to specific events is perilous -- the theory deals with tendencies, not specific examples.

You should learn a little more science before you come to this conclusion. There are far more things that don't fit together in the biblical account. Also, ask yourself, what's wrong with believing that God set the forces to work which created the universe, and the species evolved out of this creation? .
