The Bible tells the story of Creation. There is the claim that the Bible conflicts with science. And evolution is the most popular area where atheists attack the Church.
What is the 'evidence' for evolution? 1 The claim that cells of each plant and animal can all read the DNA of other organisms. Not sure why this is presented as a 'proof' of evolution. What prevents a Creator from designing them that way? And how does it help evolution? 2 The fossil record. The fossil record shows that the simplest fossils will be found in the oldest rocks, and it can also show a smooth and gradual transition from one form of life to another. Five Proofs of Evolution | Evolution FAQ (Note that this reference will be used for all five 'proofs'). This assumes that the ages of rocks have been identified. It also assumes that there is no other explanation for the placement of fossils, such as a flood. Bear in mind that evolutionists use rocks to date fossils, and fossils to date rocks. And they see no contradiction there. A further problem is that there are animals which were found in layers dated to 65 million years ago, and were later found to be still alive. Coelacanth, for example. The problem here is that when evidence is found which casts doubt on evolution, this is first ignored, then 'explained' when it can no longer be ignored. An example is where fossil dinosaurs are found with soft tissue - to an evolutionist this demonstrates that soft tissue can survive millions of years. This is stuff for the Tooth Fairy. 3 We share common characteristics in common with animals. Human beings have approximately 96% of genes in common with chimpanzees, about 90% of genes in common with cats (source), 80% with cows (source), 75% with mice (source), and so on. This does not prove that we evolved from chimpanzees or cats, though, only that we shared a common ancestor in the past. This sort of thing is presented as 'science'. The sharing of genes would seem a natural concept for a Creator. Evolutionists are prepared to consider any alternative, but not creation. 4 Embryos resemble each other. For humans (and other non-fish) the gill slits reform into the bones of the ear and jaw at a later stage in development. This is a hoax, like Piltdown Man and Eohippus. Something Fishy About Gill Slits! 5 Bacteria and Antibiotics. Bacteria colonies can only build up a resistance to antibiotics through evolution. It is important to note that in every colony of bacteria, there are a tiny few individuals which are naturally resistant to certain antibiotics. This is because of the random nature of mutations. Bacteria mutate and lose information. The change makes their mechanisms resistant to an antibiotic in use. Antibiotic Resistance of Bacteria: Evolution in Action? Microevolution Animals and plants mutate. Evolutionists claim that this leads to an addition of information (macroevolution). Creationists say that information is lost (microevolution). In the laboratory, attempts have been made to speed up mutations, but they never produce anything but the original animal, albeit greatly degraded. Fruit Flies in the Lab Fruit Flies and Advantageous Mutations What evolution cannot explain. Evolutionists assume that the universe started as an empty space, in which a tiny point suddenly expanded into the universe we see today. Yes, they assume. Not a lot of science there. There is no explanation of the cause, nor is there a rational explanation of the appearance of life. No identification of the creation of the laws of physics, no idea of how a tiny point turned into stars, planets, energy and people. No discussion is allowed about the untold numbers of electrons and protons, each apparently identical, with all their properties, came into existence. They ponder over the possibility that a mindless primordial 'soup' created life, and they have made laboratory experiments, but intelligent minds cannot reproduce what that mindless soup created. There are many animals which defy evolution. There is no explanation of how bees managed without flowers, or vice versa. They say that the whale's spout migrated from the front of the head, but there is no science there. Animals That Prove Creation The mechanism of evolution Evolutionists propose that mutations give rise to improvements, and this is certainly possible, but is it likely? If an animal, say a snake, were to grow into a lizard, that is, to add legs, this is how it would go. One day a snake would be born with an extra cell in an ideal spot for a leg. Because it would make the animal asymmetric, it would be a recessive trait, and the animal would not be as competitive as its neighbours in competing for food. It would die out. But, the evolutionists suppose, what if it succeeded? And gained more cells in the same spot? And over millions of years, its descendants added more cells, which became extra muscle, skin and bone, to produce a leg. Now a single leg is useful only for hopping, and evolutionists recognise this, so what they are proposing is that each mutation on the left is matched exactly by a similar mutation on the right, so that we have a mirror-imaged pair of legs. Imagine the possibility of all that happening. It's a bit like winning a lottery a million times in a row. But then, the evolutionists add, we get another two legs, also mirror-imaged, at the rear of the animals, and these are different to the front pair, but identical to each other. And evolutionists propose this process for the development of all the different kinds of eyes in animals. Bear in mind that for the first million years or so, there is no benefit coming from these mutations. But still they keep coming. Richard Dawkins demonstrates the evolution of the eye The 'science' of evolution. There is no science in evolution. It is all supposition. Here is a definition of 'science' from Wikipedia: Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe. Science - Wikipedia What kills evolution here is the word 'testable'. There is no testing of evolution. Anyone who suggested that evolution needs testing would find himself somewhat lonely at seminars. It is all supposition, and their books are full of words like 'must have', 'may have', or 'could have'. For good reason. Now what is religion? From Quora: Religion is a more or less organized system of ritual, art, practices, mythology, and teachings that aim to help people make sense of life and its meaning or lack thereof. What are the fundamental characteristics of every religion? - Quora Evolution fits fairly neatly into this second definition. It has its rituals, myths, and dogma, to which scientists must adhere, or lose their jobs and government grants. Below is a list of websites with arguments for and against evolution.
