Creationists, can you give an example of a problem with evolution?

Question

theory? By evolution, I mean the theory of the common descent of living things? By problem I mean a reason to question the theory, scientifically?

Answer 1

The problem with evolution is that we're still trying to teach it to people who were brainwashed since childhood, instead of giving up on them and concentrate on those actually willing to learn.

For some reason this is only a problem in America.

Answer 2

1. Never any fossils found below the Cambrian layer. This means that complex life forms suddenly appeared on earth, just as Genesis teaches
2. The Law of Biogenesis -life only comes from life and can not come from non-life.
3. The 2nd Law of thermodynamics
4. Nothing is evolving today -ascending from a lower form to a higher form -and no evidence exists that it ever did.
5. T-Rex bones found that were not completely fossilized and contained red blood cells and hemoglobin. If T-Rex lived and became extinct millions of years ago there is no way this would be possible
6. Photographic evidence sent back by the Hubble Space Telescope that clearly shows that the universe is very young and photographic evidence which decimates Hubble Law -upon which the Big Bang theory is founded
7. More than 80 geological clocks which show the earth is only thousands of years old, not billions
8. The unreliability and extreme fallibility of dating methods
9. It is impossible for the highly intricate and extremely complex life forms which exist to come into being from nothing, all by themselves and by accident
10. Mutations -which evolution teaches were part of evolution processes- are harmful, and even fatal, more than 99.9 percent of the time.
11. Natural selection -which evolution teaches was also a part of the evolutionary process- weeds out mutations.
12. Even evoutionary scientists have admitted that the hypothesis of evolution is based entirely upon guess work, conjecture, assumptions and the bias of evolutionists
There are literally hundreds of reasons why I can not believe the hypothesis of evolution and I've only listed twelve. The main reason -not considered a scientific reason- is that I choose to believe the omnipotent, omniscient, infallible Creator -who was actually there in the beginning- instead of sinful, fallible and prideful humans who were not there.

Answer 3

Not exactly what you're looking for but:

When asked what would disprove evolution in favor of creationism, biologist J.B.S. Haldane replied "fossil rabbits in the Precambrian era", a period more than 540 million years ago. This is an era during which evolutionists claim that life on Earth consisted largely of bacteria, algae and plankton. Richard Dawkins explains that evolution "is a theory of gradual, incremental change over millions of years, which starts with something very simple and works up along slow, gradual gradients to greater complexity ... If there were a single hippo or rabbit in the Precambrian, that would completely blow evolution out of the water. None have ever been found."

Oh, and the whole "there are still monkeys" argument is just plain wrong. We each evolved from a common ancestor. There, done.

P.S.: To those talking about "why has evolution stopped." Evolution has not stopped. Evolution is not something that changes (in large animals) so fast as to where humans could easily see it within their lifetime. Often people find things incomprehensible because they cannot comprehend the time line on which these things happen. For instance the origin of life is highly improbable. However, something like the origin of life can seem impossible to a human if they don't think about it in terms of hundreds of millions of years.

Darwin did not denounce evolution, that was a widely circulated rumor.

That of the "humans and dinosaurs" was a hoax.
http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CH/CH710.html

Big bang violates the laws of thermodynamics? No. That is a weak argument: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/astronomy/bigbang.html#firstlaw

All of these myths spouted by the creationists only raise bigger problems.

Answer 4

Evolution says that things change over time and that is absolutely TRUE.

I just cannot believe that a million zillion organisms exists today because some sort of creature crawled put of a pond somewhere millions of years ago. That would be easier to believe if all life on earth today were earthworms and jelly fish. And how did that creature come to be in the first place. And if you say chemical reactions over time, etc, that sound about as plausible to me as the Easter bunny and the tooth fairy.

How it all got started is such a mystery. I find it harder to believe that all life is just the result of cosmic accident. Their must have been intelligent design from somewhere.

Answer 5

How it’s such a good answer to “Why can’t we do what we want to do?”, considering the sinful nature of man, and the devil’s ability to deceive him. Because if evidence doesn’t fit in with the theory it’s shoved under the table. Because evidence is based on fallacious methods of measuring how much time something has been in existence. There’s other things but it hasn’t passed the test of authenticity, genuineness, and validity so why go on?

Answer 6

Can you imagine shaking pieces of metal in a tin can and coming up with a Rolex watch? It is a silly question, but can you imagine humans forming by themselves from their surroundings? The answer to both questions is no. The watch, even though very simple in comparison with a human body cannot form itself, just like a human body cannot form itself, not in billions of years or trillions of years. One rule that does apply is that the creator of a thing must be greater than that which is created. The watch is created by a man, but a watch cannot create a man. Only God can create life, in fact He created everything, but nothing can create God. It is very hard to understand that God had no creator, because He created all things and He is greater than all of His creations. There are several things that we as humans cannot understand because of our limitations; like what is the highest number, or the smallest number, or the smallest particle, or the largest thing, or the end of the Universe, if it has an end, what is beyond that end? The designer of the Universe and the things in it were created by a very, very, smart and powerful person, and His name is Jehovah, the Almighty of this Universe. There could not possibly be any other explanation for the wonders of our world and beyond....KECK

Answer 7

"a million. The guidelines of the universe " thoroughly irrelevant. "2. creation of existence from spontaneous non-residing inorganic chemical compounds " technically also irrelevant. evolution concerns itself with how residing issues substitute, and in no way how existence began. besides the undeniable fact that, medical concepts about abiogenesis do have so a lot extra information than you would possibly want to properly word. "4. Fossil record (If evolution were genuine, there should be tens of millions of intermediate fossils to educate it.)" there are. species are literally not fastened issues. each fossil ever found might want to properly be considered. the 'difficulty' right it truly is the creationsist definition of species, and intermediate species "quite some the earliest fossils, trilobites, had eyes extra complicated than the human eye, yet trilobites are claimed to be quite some the earliest kinds of existence in accordance to evolutionists." so what. in reality those who dont understand evolution, at the same time with creationists, imagine that it truly is meant to be a hierachy, with 'extra useful, extra complicated' issues on the great. i.e, irrelevant aspect in accordance with lack of expertise. "7. Mount St. Helens eruption " i dont understand some thing about that "9. the straightforward cellular" sure the cellular is complicated. all biologists are responsive to this. and evolution is the in reality ingredient that would want to account for this. evolution CAN produce complexity, thats type of the entire aspect. "10. round good judgment " Scientists (in the sphere referred to as geochronology) have *many* self sustaining methods of courting rocks, and they dont position self assurance in fossils. "11. courting methods" i dont study about them. the physicists say they are very precise, and independantly verifiable. the creationists say they suck. "15." The body None of our body organs exist on their own ...." in different words, this argument is termed irreducible complexity. it truly is been debunked infinite cases. it truly is a blind statement that evolution won't be able to account for for instance, the circulatory equipment, and counter to the honestly information.

Answer 8

Would the gentleman be referring to this deathbed recantation, refuted by Creationist Website Answers in Genesis?

Answer 9

Big Bang- violates the laws of thermodynamics

Evolution- violates scientific method

Origin of Species- Are you aware that natural selection and beneficial mutations do NOT support the "theory" of evolution?

Dinosaurs-evidence now we lived among the great beasts, would place humans millions of years prior to when they said originally

I could go on

God Bless

Answer 10

There is ample evidence that some creatures have evolved. I have not seen this in the case of human beings, however. Science chooses to explain this by creating something they call the 'missing link'. I choose to believe it's because it didn't happen. Men were created as men, not apes or little tadpoles that swam out of the sea and started walking upright on land. That is the only thing I have against evolution.
