1/2
10.HOW DO LIVING FOSSILS REMAINUNCHANGED OVER SUPPOSED HUNDREDSOF MILLIONS OF YEARS, IF EVOLUTION HASCHANGED WORMS INTO HUMANS IN THE SAMETIME FRAME?
Professor Gould wrote, the maintenance of stabil-ity within species must be considered as a majorevolutionary problem.
11.HOW DID BLIND CHEMISTRY CREATEMIND/ INTELLIGENCE, MEANING, ALTRUISM ANDMORALITY?
If everything evolved, and we invented God, as perevolutionary teaching, what purpose or meaning is thereto human life? Should students be learning nihilism (life ismeaningless) in science classes? creation.com/chesterton
12.WHY IS EVOLUTIONARY JUST-SO STORY-TELLING TOLERATED?
Evolutionists often use exible story-telling to explainobservations contrary to evolutionary theory. NAS (USA)member Dr Philip Skell wrote, Darwinian explanationsfor such things are often too supple: Natural selection
makes humans self-centered and aggressiveexceptwhen it makes them altruistic and peaceable. Or naturalselection produces virile men who eagerly spread theirseedexcept when it prefers men who are faithfulprotectors and providers. When an explanation is sosupple that it can explain any behavior, it is difcult totest it experimentally, much less use it as a catalystfor scientic discovery. creation.com/sexstories
13. WHERE ARE THE SCIENTIFICBREAKTHROUGHS DUE TO EVOLUTION?
Dr Marc Kirschner, chair of the Department of SystemsBiology, Harvard Medical School, stated: In fact, overthe last 100 years, almost all of biology has proceeded
independent of evolution, except evolutionary biologyitself. Molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, havenot taken evolution into account at all. Dr Skell wrote, Itis our knowledge of how these organisms actually operate,not speculations about how they may have arisen millionsof years ago, that is essential to doctors, veterinarians,farmers . Evolution actuallyhinders medical discovery.Then why do schools and universities teach evolution sodogmatically, stealing time from experimental biology thatso benets humankind? creation.com/science#relevance

14.SCIENCE INVOLVES EXPERIMENTING TOFIGURE OUT HOW THINGS WORK; HOW THEYOPERATE. WHY IS EVOLUTION, A THEORY ABOUTHISTORY, TAUGHT AS IF IT IS THE SAME AS THISOPERATIONAL SCIENCE?
You cannot do experiments, or even observe whathappened, in the past. Asked if evolution has been observed,Richard Dawkins said, Evolution has been observed. Itsjust that it hasnt been observed while its happening.
15. WHY IS A FUNDAMENTALLY RELIGIOUSIDEA, A DOGMATIC BELIEF SYSTEM THAT FAILSTO EXPLAIN THE EVIDENCE, TAUGHT IN SCIENCECLASSES?
Karl Popper, famous philosopher of science, saidDarwinism is not a testable scientic theory, but ametaphysical [religious] research programme .... MichaelRuse, evolutionist science philosopher admitted, Evolutionis a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning,and it is true of evolution still today. If you cant teachreligion in science classes, why is evolution taught?

7/31/2019 15 Questions for Evolutionists p
2/2
1. HOW DID LIFE ORIGINATE?
Evolutionist Professor Paul Davies admitted, Nobodyknows how a mixture of lifeless chemicals spontaneouslyorganized themselves into the rst living cell. AndrewKnoll, professor of biology, Harvard, said, we dont reallyknow how life originated on this planet. A minimal cellneeds several hundred proteins. Even if every atom in theuniverse were an experiment with all the correct aminoacids present for every possible molecular vibration inthe supposed evolutionary age of the universe, not evenone average-sized functional protein would form. Sohow did life with hundreds of proteins originate just bychemistry without intelligent design? creation.com/origin
2.HOW DID THE DNA CODE ORIGINATE?
The code is a sophisticated language system with letters andwords where the meaning of the words is unrelated to thechemical properties of the lettersjust as the informationon this page is not a product of the chemical properties ofthe ink (or pixels on a screen). What other coding system hasexisted without intelligent design? How did the DNA codingsystem arise without it being created? creation.com/code
3. HOW COULD MUTATIONSACCIDENTALCOPYING MISTAKES (DNA LETTERSEXCHANGED, DELETED OR ADDED, GENESDUPLICATED, CHROMOSOME INVERSIONS,ETC.)CREATE THE HUGE VOLUMES OFINFORMATION IN THE DNA OF LIVING THINGS?
How could such errors create 3 billion letters of DNAinformation to change a microbe into a microbiologist?There is information for how to make proteins and alsofor controlling their usemuch like a cookbook contains
the ingredients as well as the instructions for how andwhen to use them. One without the other is useless. Seecreation.com/meta-information. Mutations are knownfor their destructive effects, including over 1,000 humandiseases such as hemophilia. Rarely are they even helpful.But how can scrambling existing DNA information createa new biochemical pathway or nano-machines with manycomponents, to make goo-to-you evolution possible?E.g., How did a 32-component rotary motor like ATPsynthase (which produces the energy currency, ATP,for all life), or robots like kinesin (a postman deliveringparcels inside cells) originate? creation.com/train
4.WHY IS NATURAL SELECTION, A PRINCIPLERECOGNIZED BY CREATIONISTS, TAUGHT AS
EVOLUTION, AS IF IT EXPLAINS THE ORIGIN OFTHE DIVERSITY OF LIFE?
By denition it is a selective process (selecting fromalready existing information), so is not a creative process.It might explain thesurvivalof the ttest (why certain genesbenet creatures more in certain environments), but notthe arrival of the ttest (where the genes and creaturescame from in the rst place). The death of individuals notadapted to an environment and the survival of those thatare suited does not explain the origin of the traits thatmake an organism adapted to an environment. E.g., howdo minor back-and-forth variations in nch beaks explainthe origin of beaks or nches? How does natural selectionexplain goo-to-you evolution? creation.com/dening-terms
5.HOW DID NEW BIOCHEMICAL PATHWAYS,WHICH INVOLVE MULTIPLE ENZYMES WORKINGTOGETHER IN SEQUENCE, ORIGINATE?
Every pathway and nano-machine requires multipleprotein/enzyme components to work. How did luckyaccidents create even one of the components, let alone10 or 20 or 30+ at the same time, often in a necessaryprogrammed sequence? Evolutionary biochemist Franklin
Harold wrote, we must concede that there are presentlyno detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of anybiochemical or cellular system, only a variety of wishfulspeculations. creation.com/motor (includes animation)
6.LIVING THINGS LOOK LIKE THEY WEREDESIGNED, SO HOW DO EVOLUTIONISTS KNOWTHAT THEY WERE NOTDESIGNED?
Richard Dawkins wrote, biology is the study ofcomplicated things that have the appearance of havingbeen designed with a purpose. Francis Crick, the co-
discoverer of the double helix structure of DNA, wrote,Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what theysee was not designed, but rather evolved. The problemfor evolutionists is that living things show too much design.Who objects when an archaeologist says that potterypoints to human design? Yet if someone attributes thedesign in living things to a designer, that isnotacceptable.Why should science be restricted to naturalistic causesrather than logical causes? creation.com/design_legit
7.HOW DID MULTI-CELLULAR LIFE ORIGINATE?
How did cells adapted to individual survival learn to co-operate and specialize (including undergoing programmed
cell death) to create complex plants and animals?
8.HOW DID SEX ORIGINATE?
Asexual reproduction gives up to twice as muchreproductive success (tness) for the same resourcesas sexual reproduction, so how could the latter evergain enough advantage to be selected? And how couldmere physics and chemistry invent the complementaryapparatuses needed at the same time (non-intelligentprocesses cannot plan for future coordination ofmale and female organs). creation.com/evosex
9.WHY ARE THE (EXPECTED) COUNTLESSMILLIONS OF TRANSITIONAL FOSSILS MISSING?
Darwin noted the problem and it still remains. The evolu-tionary family trees in textbooks are based on imagination,not fossil evidence. Famous Harvard paleontologist (andevolutionist), Stephen Jay Gould, wrote, The extremerarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists asthe trade secret of paleontology. Other evolutionist fossilexperts also admit the problem. creation.com/pattquote
