Is there any legitimate proof that evolution is flawed?

Question

I have been studying the theory of evolution for a few weeks now, and I am wondering what the legitimate proof against evolution actually is.

I understand that irreducible complexity is a big one (especially regarding flagellum), but i saw a video of a speech that Ken Miller, a prominent biologist, made where he disproved the irreducible complexity of the bacteria flagellum.

I also have heard arguements as to there being no intermediate species found in the fossil record. But after some research it seems that this is a false claim. ID proponents will never admit that a fossil is an intermediate species and will just say that it is just another creature that was designed.

So what else are proponents of ID considering flaws in evolution?

I have heard that it is impossible for new information to be created in the DNA. If this is true, it would seem to me to disprove evolution.

Answer 1

There currently is no legitimate proof against the evolutionary theory. Other than faith of course. However there is no piece of scientific evidence that says, "because of this, evolution could NOT have happened".

It is easier to disprove a theory, than to prove it is fact. We may never fully PROVE evolution actually happened, as in order to fully prove a theory, any and all variables, possibilities, and outcomes must be accounted for, which is virtually impossible. To disprove it, all you need is one solitary substantial piece of evidence suggesting the opposite. However, such piece of evidence does not exist.

Answer 2

The only flaw is that the data is incomplete. There is nothing that actually contradicts it.

Irreproducible complexity in the flagellum has been refuted. No biological system has been shown as irreproducibly complex.

There are plenty of transitional fossils.

Information can be spontaneously added to DNA. In the paper I cite, new genes were added by a simple duplication mechanism that created hybrid genes.

Answer 3

If you want proof that evolution is an ongoing process, in which new information IS being added to DNA (which is what mutation is all about), just take a look at the big brouhaha with the MRSA infection. Staph bacteria are actively mutating to resist antibiotics. ID proponents say when something is designed, it's done. I say, nay-nay.

Answer 4

Well, there is evidence of evolution like the fact that we have a second pair of unused eyelids, a coccyx (remnants of a tailbone), and erector pili (the nerves that make our hair stand on end, this is useless since we don't have fur to make us appear larger which is the use in other animals). However, it doesn't explain the transition between animals. Where are the fossils or evidence of these transition animals? I believe in natural adaptation.

Thanks for that link novangel..

Answer 5

i finished believing in evolution long previously i presumed interior the Bible and technology and Bible are actually not antagonistic to one yet another the bible replaced into written between 1400BC and 100AD diverse books by using diverse authors,so "a guy" isn't spectacular replaced into a number of adult men is a selection of 66 books that every physique agree and characteristic comparable purpose. I completely have self belief that technology is of God and docs additionally maximum hospitals have been began by using Bible believing Christians. and actual the only 2 books in NT that are actually not accepted to Jews or Israelites take place to be written by using a well-being practitioner that could be Gospel of Luke and e book of Acts. theory of evolution has no medical evidence in basic terms backing it is likewise no longer logically sound theory. I ruled it out on good judgment foundation on my own replaced into nonetheless Atheist after that.

Answer 6

No, there aren't any valid evidence against it. But the evidence based on ignorance is pretty convincing. That is until you research it and see it is based on ignorance. So they just don't study it.

Answer 7

there are many missing links in evolution, but once they find all of them then evolution will be irrefutable.

Answer 8

I think it's just a lie made up to trick people into thinking God does not exist but anyone with any since knows that this world was made by someone that is higher then we are and knows more. God Bless you.
