2 Outline Evolution Science and Religion Problems with Evolution Gaps in the Fossil Record/Transitional Forms Origin of Genetic Material Science and Natural Laws Proofs of Evolution Refuted Heredity Biogenetic Law Missing Links Vestigial Organs Evolution in Action Evolution Evolution has a variety of definitions, ranging from change to the natural process by which all life on earth derived from a single ancestor Referred to alternatively as a hypothesis, theory, law, or fact Used ambiguously to imply that the processes we can observe in the present prove that processes we cannot observe in the past must have happened too 2
3 Evolution Scientifically, evolution means the change or addition of genetic material between generations, or descent with modification These changes are attributed to mutations and natural selection, which are examples of operations science and can be shown to occur Mutations and natural selection are NOT evolution!!! Evolution The other aspect of evolution is the belief that all animals descended from one original ancestor Evolutionists claim this fact is established in the fossil record and genetic evidence However, any evidence involving origins science is subject to interpretational bias Remember the difference between operations and origins science 3
4 Evolution Mutations are often cited as a source of heritable traits from one generation to another While mutations do cause changes in the genome, this process is not capable of changing one kind of animal into another Mutations have either no noticeable effect or cause degeneration Evolution Evolutionists claim that since one can observe natural selection, then descent from a common ancestor must be true However, this assumes that the current processes we observe could cause the origin of completely novel structures This is contrary to the laws of nature 4
5 Outline Evolution Science and Religion Problems with Evolution Gaps in the Fossil Record/Transitional Forms Origin of Genetic Material Science and Natural Laws Proofs of Evolution Refuted Heredity Biogenetic Law Missing Links Vestigial Organs Evolution in Action Science and Religion The root meaning of science is knowledge Theology once was considered the queen of sciences Now, science has come to mean a method of knowing Remember Operations vs. Origins science Present day observations help us consider possible causes of past events, but they cannot tell us exactly what happened in the past 5
6 Science and Religion The Bible provides an eyewitness account of Creation Week Evolution is a belief about the past based on anti-biblical assumptions Creation vs. Evolution is not a battle of religion vs. science, but rather a conflict between worldviews We must examine every claimed truth against Scripture and look for faulty logic or false assumptions Outline Evolution Science and Religion Problems with Evolution Gaps in the Fossil Record/Transitional Forms Origin of Genetic Material Science and Natural Laws Proofs of Evolution Refuted Heredity Biogenetic Law Missing Links Vestigial Organs Evolution in Action 6
7 Gaps in the Fossil Record The most glaring problem with the idea of common ancestry is the lack of fossil evidence of the millions of transitional forms needed This argument is often dismissed by: Agreeing with the lack of a complete fossil record Problems in identifying what is transitional Gaps in the Fossil Record However, this does not diminish the problem since the blatant changes evolution requires would be expected to provide numerous examples in every layer of the geologic record Instead, most of the geologic record is better explained by the catastrophic processes during Noah s Flood and the following localized catastrophes Furthermore, the amazing design of most animals make transitional forms impossible 7
8 Transitional Forms Transitional Forms 8
9 Transitional Forms Origin of Genetic Material According to evolutionists, all genetic information arose spontaneously, not only with the first living organism, but continuously throughout life history Evolution requires that the information for new structures must have been added to the genome over and over through mutations This is basically a series of miracles! The spontaneous generation of complex information has never been observed 9
10 Origin of Genetic Material Information can only come from an intelligent source It not only requires bits of data, but also the ability to decode and understand that data Without both the data and the understanding, information is useless Therefore, living systems could not have arisen through genetic mistakes and must have been created to function as complete systems Science and Natural Laws Evolution fails as a framework because it violates several known laws of the universe In order for evolution and abiogenesis to occur, several miracles (violations of natural law) would had to have occurred This undermines the very premise of naturalism! 10

12 Heredity Evolution is claimed to occur through inherited alterations of traits via genetic changes Natural selection then acts upon these changes by selecting for those that improve the overall fitness of a species However, these processes are insufficient to give rise to the various kinds of animals found in the fossil record and today Heredity While such changes may cause characteristics to fluctuate, they are not capable of the mass changes evolutionists claim happened since life first appeared Mutations cannot add the information needed for original structures to appear; they are a LOSS of genetic information They do play a part in revealing and controlling the variation within each kind of animals and also in a number of diseases (aspect of the Curse) 12
13 Heredity Heredity The observed evidence in the present concerning genetic changes supports Genesis, which says that God created all animal kinds and human kind during Creation Week God gave the animal kinds a robust enough genetic foundation to form numerous species and to adapt to changing environments No observed processes can ever cause one kind of animal to transform into another kind 13
14 What is a Kind? God created a number of animals with much capacity for variation within limits Kinds would today be represented by families or genera Species and breeds have descended from these original kinds A common way to describe kinds is any group of organisms that can interbreed, produce fertile offspring, and do not mate with other species What is a Kind? And God said, Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky. So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth. And there was evening, and there was morning the fifth day. And God said, Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind. And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:

18 What is a Kind? Biogenetic Law In 1868, a German evolutionist named Ernst Haeckel popularized the idea that an organism s early embryonic development supposedly retraces its evolutionary history 18
19 Biogenetic Law Within months of publication, zoologist L. Rutimeyer and comparative embryologist W. His Sr. showed it to be fraudulent Haeckel modified his drawings to make them look more alike and even printed the same woodcut several times to make the embryos look identical Recently, it has been discovered that Haeckel s embryos bear very little resemblance to the actual embryos Despite Haeckel s exposure, these pictures are still in textbooks today! Biogenetic Law Evolutionist George Simpson said in 1965, It is now firmly established that ontogeny does not repeat phylogeny. Evolutionist Keith Thompson said, Surely the biogenetic law is dead as a doornail. However, this is still presented in textbooks as conclusive evidence for evolution!!! Dedicated atheist Carl Sagan, in support of abortion, often references Haeckel s embryos 19
20 Missing Links The fossil record does not show transition It only reveals characteristics about animals, some of which have to be inferred from the analysis of the fossil Biases and beliefs play an important role in interpreting where fossils fit in the history of life Transitional fossils are often claimed without all of the evidence and are sometimes based on only one specimen Many supposed missing links have been abandoned since new evidence has come to light Tiktaalik 20
21 Tiktaalik Tiktaalik is a FISH In Nature, fish evolution experts Ahlberg and Clack concede that Tiktaalik is a straightforward fish: it has small pelvic fins, retains fin rays in its paired appendages, and has well-developed gill arches, suggesting that this animal remained mostly aquatic. Without an evolutionist s bias, there is no reason to assume that Tiktaalik was anything other than aquatic Tiktaalik Most fish, including Tiktaalik, have small pelvic fins relative to their pectoral fins The legs of tetrapods are just the opposite the hind limbs attached to the pelvic girdle are always more robust than the fore limbs attached to the pectoral girdle Fish pelvic fins are not only small, but they re not even attached to the axial skeleton, and therefore cannot bear weight on land! 21
22 Ape-Men Many believe that the ancestry of man has been mapped completely They ve heard about all the missing links and regard them as scientific proof of man s evolution However, no ancestor for man has ever been convincingly documented Missing links are still missing Ape-Men Neandertals: cave-men humans who were fully able to speak, were artistic, and practiced religion Stooped posture due to rickets from lack of sunlight Ramapithecus: regarded as ancestor to humans extinct orangutan Piltdown Man: publicized as a missing link for 40 years hoax based on a human skull cap and an orangutan jaw 22
23 Ape-Men Nebraska Man: based on a single tooth of a pig now living only in Paraguay Java Man: now considered an actual human Australopithecus: promoted as the missing link ape no longer considered transitional Peking Man: now reclassified as an actual human Ape-Men Lucy: studies have indicated that she is not part-human, and is most likely a bonobo or pygmy chimpanzee Homo habilis: promoted as the clear link between apes and humans now considered a junk category and is now an invalid taxon Homo erectus: fully human 23
24 Ape-Men There is no clear fossil evidence that man evolved from apes Many were artistic renderings based only off a couple of bones Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being. Genesis 2:7 Considering the history of defunct ape-men, all new claims should be treated skeptically Vestigial Organs Evolutionists often argue that supposedly useless organs are leftovers from evolution It is impossible to prove that an organ is useless Over 100 formerly vestigial organs in humans are now known to be essential Even if the alleged vestigial organs were no longer useful, it proves devolution, not evolution 24
25 Wings on Flightless Birds Balance while running, cooling in hot weather, warmth in cold weather, protection of the ribcage in case of falls, mating rituals, scaring predators, sheltering chicks If the wings are useless, why are the muscles functional? Rabbit Digestive Systems Evolutionists claim that rabbits eat their feces because their digestive systems function so poorly Rabbits are one of the most successful species on earth! They have a special pouch called a caecum that contains bacteria made to digest soft pellets in order to enrich them The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a divided hoof; it is unclean for you. Leviticus 11:6 25
26 Human Appendix Contains lymphatic tissue, controls bacteria entering intestines, functions like tonsils at the alimentary canal Evolution in Action Many observed examples of natural selection are often claimed as evidence for evolution in action According to their logic, since one can see natural selection, it proves that one animal kind can change into another However, these claims are simply evidence of natural selection, a loss of genetic information which is incapable of causing the major transformations required for common descent 26
