REFUTING EVOLUTIONEvolutionary theory doesn’t follow scientific method.

It is “metascientific.”Evolution, if true, would violate established scientific

laws, such as the second law of thermodynamics.Natural selection and random mutation cannot

account for the emergence of observed species and higher taxa.

Evolutionary geologists and biologists dating techniques are faulty.

The fossil record does not support evolution through common descent.

It is a fallacy to believe that facts speak for themselves—they are always interpreted according to a framework. The framework behind the evolutionists’ interpretation is naturalism—it is assumed that things made themselves, that no divine intervention has happened, and that God has not revealed to us knowledge about the past.

Unproven ideas: Nothing gave rise to something at an alleged ‘big

bang,’ Non-living matter gave rise to life, Single-celled organisms gave rise to many-celled

organisms, Invertebrates gave rise to vertebrates, Ape-like creatures gave rise to man, Non-intelligent and amoral matter gave rise to

intelligence and morality

Evolution [is] a theory universally accepted not because it can be proven by logically coherent evidence to be true, but because the only alternative, special creation, is clearly incredible.1 Professor D.M.S. Watson

REFUTING EVOLUTIONEvolution, if true, would violate established scientific

laws, such as the second law of thermodynamics.

law of science: basic, unchanging principle of nature; a scientifically observed phenomenon which has been subjected to very extensive measurements and experimentation and has repeatedly proved to be invariable throughout the known universe (e.g., the law of gravity, the laws of motion).

thermodynamics: the study of heat power; a branch of physics which studies the efficiency of energy transfer and exchange.1

REFUTING EVOLUTIONEvolution, if true, would violate established

scientific laws, such as the second law of thermodynamics.

2nd law of thermodynamics: This law observes the fact that the useable energy in the universe is becoming less and less. Ultimately there would be no available energy left. Stemming from this fact we find that the most probable state for any natural system is one of disorder. All natural systems degenerate when left to themselves.

REFUTING EVOLUTIONEvolutionary geologists’ and biologists’

dating techniques are faulty.

Some elements, such as uranium, undergo radioactive decay to produce other elements. By measuring the quantities of radioactive elements and the elements into which they decay in rocks, geologists can determine how much time has elapsed since the rock has cooled from an initially molten state.

REFUTING EVOLUTIONThe fossil record does not support evolution

through common descent.

Why is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this is the most obvious and serious objection which can be urged against the theory. Charles Darwin

I fully agree with your comments about the lack of direct illustration of evolutionary transitions in my book. If I knew of any, fossil or living, I would certainly have included them … . I will lay it on the line—there is not one such fossil for which one could make a watertight argument. Dr. Colin Patterson: Evolution

The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages between major transitions in organic design, indeed our inability, even in our imagination, to construct functional intermediates in many cases, has been a persistent and nagging problem for gradualistic accounts of evolution. Dr. Stephen J. Gould

The earliest and most primitive members of every order already have the basic ordinal characters, and in no case is an approximately continuous series from one order to another known. In most cases the break is so sharp and the gap so large that the origin of the order is speculative and much disputed. George Gaylord Simpson
