Evidence from the Development of Life
Evidence from the Development of Life
Examples of Evolution
Automobiles evolved due to human engineers and technicians. In the future, will someone say automobiles evolved on their own?
There is no natural explanation for the origin of life, and no known way to turn a cat into a dog or an ape into a man. If it can happen by accident, it can be made to happen on purpose. If it can’t be made to happened on purpose, it could not have happened by accident.
The Fossil record does not Support Evolutionary Gradualism
The primary tenet of Evolution is life developed gradually.
The fossil record shows sudden appearance of complex life – first in the oceans and then on land.
The fossil record indicates several extinction events followed by new, complex life appearing.
These breaks should have dramatically hindered the development of life – they did not.
The more that is learned about DNA coding and mutation rates, the more impossible it becomes for humans to have simply been a mutation from apes. Most mutations lead to adverse impacts – leading toward extinction rather than improved survival and adaptability.
God did re-use designed parts from lower species similar to how engineers re-use designs from previous versions of a machine.
Modern cars have many similar “parts” as cars from the 1920’s such as frame, chasis, wheels, engine, etc. Evolution is like saying cars evolved on their own without the work of engineers and technicians to make it happen.
Summary of the problems with macroevolution
Macroevolution is the change of body forms over time- ie a baceteria becomes a fish or a fish becomes a dog.
Evolutionists propose that lots of microevolution over time produces macroevolution. They show similarities of certain body forms as evidence that it macroevolution happened by chance from microevolution.
Microevolution has never been shown to produce Macroevolution in the lab. Biologists and Geneticists have never been able to successfully make a body change from on purpose.
If you can’t make it happen on purpose, there is no way it happened by accident. It would not affect the validity of the evidence of God from Creation even if macroevolution did result from lots of microevolution, but its never been demonstrated how body forms could successfully change.
