A. The Argument Outlined

  1. Supposedly people evolved as follows: single cell => invertebrate worm => vertebrate worm => fish => amphibian => reptile with scales => mammal with hair => ape => university professor.

  2. Therefore, evolution's biggest problem is:
  1. The origin of newly designed complex biological structures.
  2. Amoebas to people required thousands of series of intermediate steps leading to each of thousands of new complex structures.
  1. Sequences of intermediate fossils to prove that gradual evolution did indeed "create" new complex biological structures.
  2. An experimentally testable theory that explains how it happened.
  3. Discovery of the biological mechanisms that did the job.
  4. Demonstration of these mechanisms creating new designs today.
  1. The "Cambrian" rocks and a few formations just below them contain over 2000 different fossilized complex species, covering every major group of marine animals, including fish.
  2. Thousands of feet of "Precambrian" rocks contain only fossilized single-celled bacteria and algae.
  3. The assumed huge evolutionary "explosion" from Precambrian single cells to thousands of species of complex many celled Cambrian creatures is the first great gap in the fossil record.
  4. Vast areas of Precambrian rocks sit on top of Cambrian rocks, with no proof that any geologic process reversed them. In Montana and British Columbia are found 13000 square miles of this.
  5. The so-called Geologic Column may be questioned because of this and much other contradictory evidence.
  1. Living and fossil bats and shrews exist, but no intermediate fossils or living species exist showing shrews evolving into bats.
  2. But the gradual change of tree-climbing shrews into flying bats is logically impossible. Assumed intermediates could not survive.
  3. We are not at all "unscientific" if we believe the God designed and created tree shrews and flying bats to be shrews and bats.
  1. Charles Darwin in Origin of Species G. M. Dent, London, 1972) p. 292: "...Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against it [his theory of evolution]."
  2. T. Neville George (Science Progress , Vol. 48, Jan. 1960) p. 3: "The fossil record nevertheless continues to be composed mainly of gaps."
  3. Stephen Jay Gould(Natural History June-July,1977)pp.22,24: "... The fossil record with its abrupt transitions offers no support for gradual change ... All paleontologists know that the fossil record contains precious little in the way of intermediate forms; transitions between major groups are characteristically abrupt. "
  4. Steven M. Stanley (then at Johns Hopkins University), Macroevolution (W.H.Freeman,San Francisco,1979)p.96:"...The known fossil record fails to document a single example of phyletic evolution accomplishing a major morphological transition and hence offers no evidence that the gradualistic model can be valid. "

Since biologists cannot explain how an egg becomes a chicken in 21 days, all claims that they have explained how an amoeba became a university professor in 3 billion years are fiction. We believers in creation don't have all the answers, but neither do evolutionists.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1). "Jesus Christ, He is Lord of all" (Acts 10:36). He is Lord over science and all scientists. They will be judged for misusing science against God, but we all are sinners who need God's forgiveness. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved" (Acts 16:31). "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life" (John 3:36). We Christians walk by faith in Jesus Christ, the Light of the world, not by sight-"For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7). "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life" John 8:12).
