Origins
Missing Links
Many people in the world have claimed to find these missing links between animal and man. These finds are said to support evolution, but in turn all they do is put evolution down. Several examples of missing links are, Piltdown man, Neanderthal man, Australopithecus, and Homo Erectus. All of these missing links have been proven false, and as hoaxes. One point for creation.
Shrinking Sun
Scientist today have noticed something about our sun. The sun seems to be shrinking. Based on this information scientists can actually measure how much the sun has shrunk. This means that they can tell how big the sun would have been at any certain time. So take the argument from evolutionists that the earth is billions of years old. When scientists calculate this, the sun would have swallowed the earth. One more point for creation.
Moon Dust
Scientists have also found something as a result of our travels to the moon. They have noticed that the moon collects dust from outer space. They have found the rate at which the dust accumulates on the moon. So they now can tell that the moon is relatively young, because if it were billions of years old there would be a lot more dust on the moon than there is right now. Evolutionists have slipped up and said that the earth and moon are about the same age. So this pushes them into a corner once again. Creation three, Evolution zero.
Magnetic Field
Scientists have realized that the magnetic poles loose strength every so often. They know the rate in which the magnetic strength decays, so they now can predict what it used to have been at any given point in time. So the said what if the earth was billions of years old, what would the magnetic field look like. Well it would be so strong that we would suck almost everything into us, somewhat like the sun. Once again Creation is greater than Evolution.
Mutations
There was a Dutchman named Hugo DeVries who found something interesting one day. He found a flower that had mutated. All of the Evolutionists went crazy over this and thought that this was their big breakthrough as to how life evolved. But scientists refute this claim because they can find no incident where a mutation is good. Every mutation that they have come across has hurt or damaged the organism. They describe a process called natural selection.
Since therе are not any initial statеs of God that wе arе awarе of, and bеcause God doеs not act according to gеneral physic laws, thеre is no valid sciеntific еxplanation for how thе univеrse was creatеd. The diffеrent stеps of how diffеrent forms of spеcies dеveloped on Earth can bе еxplained by еvolutionary biologists, thеy can howеver not еxplain the purposе or valuе of evolution.
The main arguments in Evolution is the theory of natural selection, radiometric dating, and adaptation. The four parts to the theory of natural selection are that more individuals are produced each generation that can survive, phenotypic variation exists among individuals and the variation is heritable, those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment will survive, when reproductive isolation occurs new species will form. In simpler terms, this means that the organisms that are better suited to their environment will survive, animals have different genes and these genes change and can be inherited, and when one species is separated into two physically blocked areas, they will form new species. Radiometric dating as stated by Dr. Roger C. Wiens is “the process of determining the age of rocks from the decay of their radioactive elements”. This works through something called the half life of radioactive materials. The half life of radioactive materials is the amount of time it takes for radioactivity to fall to half of its original value. In simple terms, they measure how much a radioactive material has decayed and they get the age from that. Adaptation is similar to one of the four parts of natural selection. Adaptation of organisms is the variation among individuals in a species. The change from the parents to the offspring to better fit their ecological zone, is adaptation. Those are the three major facts that prove
For years, people have disputed over how the universe came to be. There are many different theories: Darwinists believe that evolution is what brought us here. Creationists, on the other hand, look to the creation story in the book of Genesis for their answer, stating that God created the world in only seven days, and that evolution is a lie. Kenneth Miller, author of Finding Darwin’s God, has a different theory. Miller is a Christian, but also a scientist. In his book, he observes the arguments from both sides, and ultimately concludes that creation and evolution are not meant to contradict each other; evolution actually reveals the work of God.
substantiates the evidence against the existence of God. This creationism counter-argument known as evolution has its roots in our contemporary understanding of a progressive process of natural evolution. This process shaped the nature of all living things beginning with single-cell organisms and ending with highly complex creatures such as humanoids.
years, and that it was created as it is now just six thousand years ago? Creationism should
At the beginning of the 1800s, scientists knew of some kinds of fossils, and were very aware of homologous and vestigial structures. Many scientists suspected that some kind of evolution had given rise to living things around them. However, they had no theory to explain how evolution might have occurred. Two scientists led the way in the search for a mechanism of evolution. The first was Jean Lamarck. The second was one of the greatest figures in biology, Charles Darwin.
There is also information presented in the ways that we can study the earth and what is left on our earth that explain evolution in a way that I feel like is undeniable. Examples of evolution can be seen in fossils, of layers deposited on the earth, of radiometric dating, and the Mid-Atlantic ridge. All of these different evidences lead us to believe in an old earth. A earth that has been around roughly 6.5 billion years and has changed and grown while preserving sight into our
Evolutionists often come with the argument that fossil findings can serve as a proof of the evolutionary process; bones of such creatures as dinosaurs, or the remains of even more ancient beings found by archaeologists are much older than the age of our world according to the Bible. Therefore, claim the evolutionists, creationists are wrong. Creationists, however, came up with a strong counter argument. They say that all fossil findings are already fully formed, and appear to have not changed much over time; in other words, they remained in a so-called stasis condition (Geological Society of America). This means that there are no intermediate links between simpler and more complex life forms, which witnesses in favor of the claim that each species had been created.
Thirteen point seven billion years ago the universe went from a small and dense state, to an exponentially large state. Big things do come in small packages. However this is not the only story of the creation of the universe and it’s inhabitants. On November fourth two thousand and fifteen two scientists went head to head to prove which creation story would be a “viable model for today's modern science,” creation or evolution. Defending the side of evolution was none other that an old friend from our childhood, Bill Nye, also known as Bill Nye the Science Guy. No doubt wonderful memories are flooding into your brain right now. Defending the side of creation is a man named Ken Ham, also known as the man you have probably never heard of before. Each side had a limited time to argue their topics. In the end of this debate,
Have you ever just sat and thought to yourself how the universe was created also what it took to create the planets and living organisms. I am explaining the definition of “Evolution” as defined by the scientist Charles Darwin. “The process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Changes that allow an organism to better adapt to it’s environment will help it survive and produce offspring.” Theory of Evolution which was first formulated in his book titled “On the Origin of Species” in the year 1859.
There is a long line of history surrounding evolution. Theories really stated with creationism. According to Donald R. Prothero, leading paleontologist, creationism is the belief that living organisms in the unive...
However, science has proven through archaeological discoveries that the earth is in fact far older than a few million years. There is also scientific evidence to prove that the human race was not created but in fact evolved from early primates. Here is where the problem really begins. There cannot be two distinct ways that the human race was created. Either humans evolved from early primates, or we are all descendants of Adam and Eve. Archaeologists have uncovered proof of evolution through the skeletons of our early primate ancestors. Extensive research has been done on the subject of evolution; all the while, no one has been able to locate the Garden of Eden. The only form of “concrete” proof would be that the Bible says that is how it happened. For those who believe in what the Bible says the answer to how the human race was created is very simple. In addition, those who do not believe what the Bible says, the ones who are firm believers in evolution, the answer is also very simple. Of course, you will never be able to get one of these groups to agree with the other. If God exists solely on the condition that a person believes in him, does that also mean that He would not exist if someone did not believe in him? Things that exist do not do so on conditions of whether or not someone believes in them. If one day through some bizarre notion, if a person were to lose all faith in chairs, would they fall down the next time they went to sit? The answer of course is no, the person would not fall flat on the ground simply because they do not believe in the chair. We know this because the chair is a tangible object, able to be touched and moved by any human. The chair does not exist on the condition that someone believes in it. This is how we know that the chair exists. Regardless of a person’s opinion on the subject of chairs,
Darwinism, the theory of evolution, is a controversial theory that is still being contemplated today. Before the 19th century scientist were puzzled by the idea of where humans, plants, and animals originated. In the late 1700s the question was first tried by a group of scientist, but they were not successful. It was not until a young Charles Darwin found interest in the subject that the discovery was finally able to become a theory. His observations led to his theory of evolution by natural selection. Although, it was a new discovery that shocked so many, Darwin and his accomplices did not realize how significant their newfound theory was. ~~~~
There is much debate over how old the earth truly is. If the creation story is taken literally, the earth could be as young as twenty-five thousand years old. If creation is taken metaphorically, the earth could be four to fifteen billion years old. However, it is not essential which theory one believes, what matters is that God created all of it. This informs Christians that God created the universe; this is the most basic affirmation of Genesis. There is no room given for any other creative power. Through God’s spoken word, the universe was created. Our Christian worldview emphasizes that God is in full control and the origin story clearly shows this. God as creator shows that he has sovereign control. Whether aspects of evolution exist or not, we accept that God is in full control because of what is included in Genesis 1. The objective of Genesis 1 and the story of the origin of the universe is not meant to satisfy our curiosity about science, it is meant to reveal to us the true nature of God. Science attempts to inform the secular worldview while Scripture is able to inform the Christian
Talking on both sides of the debate, each side feels as though the other has no scientific reasoning come up with their theory. In reading the article written by Shipman, the evolutionists believe that intelligent design has no concrete evidence on how the world was crea...
