Question
Is the theory of evolution by natural selection correct?
Position2 of 2

No, the theory of evolution is flawed on many levels

The theory is full of holes and up against serious challenges it cannot overcome. For many learned scientists and philosophers, it is defunct. Darwin's theory cannot account for human intelligence and speech. The human mind is far too complex and so is human speech. Blind, random, directionless processes—the phenomenon of natural selection—can never produce the mind, human speech, the cell, or DNA. The mathematical, philosophical, and scientific flaws in Darwin's theory have already been elucidated.

  1. Evolutionary thinking is flawed
    Biologists are quick to fall into circular reasoning. To explain how an organism survived, they refer to its fitness, and to explain its fitness, they refer to how it survived. The explanations that evolutionary biologists provide create more questions and problems than answers.
  2. The fossil record is incomplete
    If evolution happened through the gradual development and multiplication of slight variations, which is what evolutionists claim, then the fossil record should exhibit dead organisms closely constellated together with scarcely differentiated strata. But this is not the case. The record is filled with gaps.
  3. The theory fails to exclude one contingency, thus it cannot be falsified
    Evolutionary theory does not rule out a single possible case. We see different creatures behaving in different ways. When asked why this is so, or why it is the way it is, evolutionary biologists have nothing to say but "different organisms try different things." This is a very poor answer.
  4. The theory has serious mathematical problems
  5. Biological life is far too complex to have arisen from chance
  6. The theory is rooted in pure chance
  7. The theory cannot account for the human mind or the phenomenon of language
