Examples Of Arguments Against Evolution

By Marcia Marks


There have been many theories for and against evolution. Basically, most of the theories for evolution contradict the story of creation in the bible. Scientists have therefore been working day and night while trying to determine which argument is true and which one is wrong. Most of these theories state that the earth is as a result of evolutionary processes. On the other hand, those who go for the creation story believe that God created the universe and everything in it. There are various arguments against evolution that have since come up because of this.

Lack of individuals who witnessed evolution as it occurred brings about a point of argument. The theories are just hypotheses and there is no one in history who can be said to be a witness. Even at the present period, it is hard to see evolution as it takes place. They have also failed to show transitional forms on how the process took place. As a matter of fact, flora and fauna need not to be differentiated if what they claim is true.

Research has been carried out for a long time with experiments being done with the aim of creating new species using the evolutionary methods. For example, the fruit fly has mainly been used in these experiments since it is characterized by a high reproduction rate. However, these tests have been futile because the mutation did not take place as it is expected according to the theories by evolutionists.

There have been arguments against the possibility of meteoritic dust settling on the moon. The dust is known to settle on the earth and moon continuously and would have therefore piled up many feet in the millions of years that are said to have passed. This had even caused a worry during the launch of the first lunar ship to the moon as the astronauts thought it would have sunk many feet into the dust. However, when the sheep landed not more than an inch of the dust is what was found. This therefore resulted to the belief of a young moon and earth.

The magnetism of the earth keeps on reducing with time. This is to mean that at some point it must have been very strong like that of magnetic stars. However, the probability of this being the case is very low.

According to evolutionists, the magnetic fields of the earth are as a result electric fields found within it. If this was the case thousands of years ago, then the earth would not have been in existence today due to the large amounts of heat that would have been generated. It would have therefore been dissolved in the end.

There is the theory of punctuated equilibria which top evolutionists have disagreed with to a large extent. According to the theory, one species could give rise to another one. For example, birds giving birth to mammals. This theory was meant to solve the issue of there being no transitional fossils for geological records.

From the research carried out by scientists, the probability of the punctuated equilibria theory is very minimal. Some of these theories have lacked a proper basis and thus the reason for these arguments against evolution. Most people therefore still hold on to the original story in the bible.
