This is a video documentary about "Collapse of Evolution". Note that it doesn't propose that earth was created 6000 years ago and blah blah. Please see this video as it mentions all the scientific facts. I need your feedback.

Here is the link, http://www.harunyahya.com/m_video_detail.php?api_id=1245

Please be just in your opinions about the video, I don't want any prejudice to creep in while you are evaluating the video.

Thanks a lot.

Sorry that is about Darwinism which is only a theory concerning a biological mechanism. What about your question on evolution? What about Lemarck who was discussing evolution before Darwin was born-any views on his theories? I wish we could remove Darwin from the equation altogether so that creationists could learn that evolution doesn't rely on Darwinian theory.

The thing was rather lengthy, but I decided I would watch each segment until I noticed a blatant misrepresentation of the truth. This took anywhere from 10 seconds to 45 seconds per segment. The whole thing starts with the same tired old claim that evolution denies the existence of God. This is patently absurd, first because science concerns itself only with the natural world, and makes no claims about God or the supernatural, one way or the other; and secondly because of the obvious fact that all real scientists recognize evolution, and most of them are believers in God!

Then the video gets away from its topic altogether and starts presenting a hodgepodge of ideas about the origin of the universe and the origin of life, neither of which has anything to do with biological evolution. "Evolution" means "change". It doesn't mean "origin". Obviously nothing can change until after it exists.

Other outrageously ignorant statements (my end point in the segments where they occurred) were:

"No beneficial mutation has been observed ..."
"No fossil evidence supporting evolution has been found ..."
"No transitional forms have been seen ..."

Such statements demonstrate either an incredible degree of dishonesty, or an incredible depth of ignorance. In my opinion, probably a mix of the two, leaning more heavily toward the latter.

I did notice that the video acknowledged that earlier life forms no longer exist, and that newer life forms have since appeared. However, I must have missed the part where they proposed an alternative theory which might explain this observable fact. I could list all my reasons why the rising and setting of the sun is not due to the rotation of the earth ... but unless I have a rational alternative theory to explain this observable effect, the best possible theory is going to remain in place. If antievolutionists don't want to accept biological evolution as the explanation for the replacement of earlier species by later species, then please ... offer an alternative theory! Otherwise anything you say is just meaningless rhetoric.

"Various branches of science developed since the formulation of Darwinism have demonstrated that this theory is nothing but an imaginary scenario....."

That is a bunch of lies right there. Why would over 99.9% of biologists support evolution if it was flawed????? And why are they "publishing" this on the internet (where they can get away with any lies they like) rather than publishing a scrap of anything in the scientific literature?? Because it is fraud that relies on ignorance by its viewers. I'm not going to download such immoral dishonest drivel. Thanks.

(PS. The Origin of Life has nothing to do with evolution)

Greviously in error right from the get-go. For one thing, evolution has zero to do with the origins of life. Only the development after life already is present. Its arguments are almost entirely based of incredulity, and it erroniously tries to connect a theory of biology to the actions of murderers and dictators. There is nothing new here, simply old long-debunked claims given a new package.

Your propaganda against evolution is a lie. Evolution is real, its a fact and evolution continues. There are no scientific facts in your documentary that are valid.

I would be much more interested in a series entitled, "Scientific proof of Evolution....past, present and future".

Oh wait. They couldn't make a series like that because there is abolutely zero scientific evidence whatsoever in support of evolution (even though there are many, MANY places where you absolutely would see it if the hypothesis had any validity at all). Of course, they could do a series entitled, "The History of Scientific Fraud in Support of Evolution". Because all the past evidence of evolution has been revealed as outright and intentional fraud.
