False Ideas About Truth - Part 21 - The Bridge of Evolution is Faulty

(1) Charles Darwin’s 1859 book “Origin of Species” produced a REVOLUTION in human thinking perhaps more profound in science than anything before or since. The 16th century Copernican revolution removed the EARTH from its privileged position at the center of the universe, but the Darwinian theory removed GOD from His privileged position as the Creator of the universe and of all life, most notably of human life. (2) We are asked to believe that, first, a tiny BACTERIUM had come from non-living matter, and then, second, that it has evolved into 1.7 million highly complex species. The evidence supporting evolution would have to SPAN A VERY LARGE GAP between non-life and human life. Is the evidence strong enough? I am trying to show that it does not. (3) Now, thanks to the scientific work of Albert Einstein and other scientists, the beginning of the universe has been confirmed. That proves that a BEGINNER, a Creator, exists. Thanks to space probes and high-powered telescopes, we can determine the age of the universe to be about 13.7 or 13.8 billion years old. General relativity has been confirmed also.

(6) The 1952 article in “American Scientist” by Richard Goldsmith says, “Evolution of animal and plant world is considered by all those entitled to judgment to be a FACT for which NO FURTHER PROOF is needed.” (7) The mechanisms — natural selection, random mutations, and abiogenesis — have to work correctly in order for what is claimed to really occur. (8) The transfer of one species to another has NEVER BEEN OBSERVED, and how life came from non-life is still a MYSTERY. (9) It seems to me that the bridge of evolution is a failure. (10) In the case of evolution, the entire sequence of evidence must be strong or Darwin’s theory will fall apart. One broken element in the evolutionary span is all it takes for the theory to be a FAILURE. (11) “A Skeptics Search for God” and “Dismantling Evolution” by Ralph Muncaster. (12) Darwin himself identified 37 problems of evolution that needed to be defended. (13) I began to list key elements of evidence against Darwinian evolution although it is almost universally accepted.
