Charles Darwin said, “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organism existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory absolutely breaks down.” Let us put his theory to the test, then, with some questions for the Evolutionist:
- Where did the space for the universe come from?
- Where did matter come from?
- Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?
- How did matter get so perfectly organized?
- Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?
- When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?
- When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?
- With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?
- Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)
- How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining the English letters will never produce Chinese books.)
- Is it possible that similarities in design between different animals prove a common Creator instead of a common ancestor?
- Natural selection only works with the genetic information available and tends only to keep a species stable. How would you explain the increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occurred if evolution were true?
- When, where, why, and how did:
- Single-celled plants become multi-celled? (Where are the two- and three-celled intermediates?)
- Single-celled animals evolve?
- Fish change to amphibians?
- Amphibians change to reptiles?
- Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes, reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!) How did the intermediate forms live?
- When, where, why, how, and from what did:
- Whales evolve?
- Sea horses evolve?
- Bats evolve?
- Eyes evolve?
- Ears evolve?
- Hair, skin, feathers, scales, nails, claws, etc., evolve?
- Which evolved first (how, and how long, did it work without the others)?
- The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body’s resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)?
- The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce?
- The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs?
- DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts?
- The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose?
- The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants?
- The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move the bones?
- The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system?
- The immune system or the need for it?
- There are many thousands of examples of symbiosis that defy an evolutionary explanation. Why must we teach students that evolution is the only explanation for these relationships?
- How would evolution explain mimicry? Did the plants and animals develop mimicry by chance, by their intelligent choice, or by design?
- When, where, why, and how did man evolve feelings? Love, mercy, guilt, etc. would never evolve in the theory of evolution.
- How did photosynthesis evolve?
- How did thought evolve?
- How did flowering plants evolve, and from what?
- What kind of evolutionist are you? Why are you not one of the other eight or ten kinds?
- What would you have said fifty years ago if I told you I had a living coelacanth in my aquarium?
- Is there one clear prediction of macroevolution that has proved true?
- What is so scientific about the idea of hydrogen gas becoming human?
- Do you honestly believe that everything came from nothing?
Carl Sagan said, “Evolution is a fact amply demonstrated by the fossil record and by contemporary molecular biology.” Yet here are some quotes from other Evolutionists:
“I will lay it on the line, there is not one such [transitional] fossil for which one might make a watertight argument.” –Dr. Colin Patterson
“Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it only because the only alternative is special creation which is unthinkable.” –Sir. Arthur Keith
“Most modern biologists, having reviewed with satisfaction the downfall of the spontaneous generation hypothesis, yet unwilling to accept the alternative belief in special creation, are left with nothing. I think a scientist has no choice but to approach the origin of life through a hypothesis of spontaneous generation. One has only to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible. Yet here we are as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation.” –George Wald
“An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to be satisfied to get it going.” –Francis Crick
“Well, we are now about 120 years after Darwin, and the knowledge of the fossil record has been greatly expanded. We now have a quarter of a million fossil species but the situation hasn't changed much. The record of evolution is still surprisingly jerky and, ironically, we have even fewer examples of evolutionary transition than we had in Darwin's time.” –David Raup
“The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of palaeontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils.” –Stephen J. Gould
“Evolution destroys utterly and finally the very reason Jesus' earthly life was supposedly made necessary. Destroy Adam and Eve and original sin, and in the rubble you will find the sorry remains of the Son of God. Take away the meaning of his death. If Jesus was not the redeemer who died for our sins, and this is what evolution means, then Christianity is nothing!” –G. Richard Bozarth
That last quote is the crux of the issue. Anyone who can believe in Theistic Evolution is sadly deceived and does not understand the issue at stake here. It is all about Jesus Christ. It is His story. Evolution’s goal, as every other philosophy of man, is to kill God. Do not lose sight of this fact.
