Why Do We Refute Evolution?

How did we get here? Maybe we were created by an immortal being, or maybe we are merely just the result of a cosmic explosion. This is a highly debated topic for there is strong reasoning for both sides. People who believe in God just have the faith that we are put on this earth for a reason and have an afterlife. Other people may believe that we just appeared after the big bang and we evolved over time to become what we are today.
Why should we believe in an eternal being? First of all there are approximately 11 billion different species on earth. Did all these including the universe just begin by chance (Little 1)? Think about humanity's overall longing for something beyond what we see. It's this longing that causes people to turn to religion …show more content…

One of these include the fact that fossils do not show signs of evolution. This is because fossil findings are already fully formed, and appear to have not changed much over time, meaning there are no links between simpler and more complex life forms. Not only that, but, living creatures do not evolve between kinds. Experiments designed to detect evolution should have caught a glimpse by now, but they have not. When researchers simulated fruit fly evolution by systematically altering each portion of fruit fly DNA, they found only three resulting fruit fly categories (Thomas …show more content…

Evolution is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in physical or behavioral traits (Than 1). Scientist have found actual proof from the fossil findings that show the evolutionary process. Charles Darwin formulated the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection. Evolution by natural selection is a process demonstrated by the observation that more offspring are produced than can possibly survive. Given enough time and changes, natural selection can create entirely new species, known as "macroevolution." The physical and behavioral changes that make natural selection possible happen at the level of DNA and genes. Such changes are called mutations. Briana Pobiner, a scientist from the department of anthropology said, "Mutations are basically the raw material on which evolution acts” (qtd. In than 1). It can turn dinosaurs into birds, amphibious mammals into whales and the ancestors of apes into humans (Than 1).
There is more evidence in the bones of creatures such as dinosaurs, or the remains of even more ancient beings are much older than the age of our world according to the Bible (Than 1). Evolutionist believe that before the big bang nothing existed and after they believe everything was formed from matter. They state that there is no factual evidence that God exists. Charles Darwin rejects Genesis as true history, and that all miracle reports are false because he knows
