Why doesn't this "looney" agree with Evolution?
These reasons don't disprove evolution they just give us all something to think about. It is just a very small summary of a lot of arguments. Let us also remember that a large proportion of scientists do not support evolution. We aren't alone here.
The Fossil Record - Contrary to popular belief there is really no evidence of "half way" skeletons. A lot of the examples given hype by the media are false (eg. Neanderthal Man, Lucy etc.). Evolution supposedly took millions of years to happen (somewhere in the region of 5 million years). If this is so, the fossil record would be well over 100 miles deep (which it is not).
Even though the DNA of humans and apes are similar think about the vast differences between humans and all other creatures. Humans have vastly superior intelligence (remember data, do maths, write, speak a language with a huge vocabulary and even learn more than one language) We are self aware and long for significance. We think about death and what lies beyond. We develop theories, think laterally and are capable of complex thinking. We are endlessly creative. We have an inbuilt sense of right and wrong. Now you find me a Gorilla or monkey like that.
If we came about randomly where did the idea of God come from and why is it a God who is so much greater than us making us feel and look sinful and ultimately punishing sinners in hell? Why is the God men believe in not a God who does us apparent good on this earth?
The complexity of the whole of nature - Think about DNA, the human eye, knee joint… anything in the universe. Does it not point to a designer? (God) There are such things as "irreducible complexities" which you should research (mainly because I am poor at explaining)
Mutations - Apparently how we evolved from monkeys. But, mutations are extremely rare anyway and when they do occur 999/1000 are harmful (cancer etc.). Surely the one in a thousand can't change a monkey to a human. And surely you would need two (male and female) to keep the human race going?
1st Law of Thermodynamics - Neither matter nor energy can be self created or destroyed… Does that not mean that there has to be a God to create the matter thus making the Big Bang theory (which evolutionists believe in) look foolish?
2nd Law of Thermodynamics - Over time systems, matter and energy become less ordered and more random (decay). If this is so, how can evolution create more complex beings while things get less ordered?
Would you want to believe that we are "bits of dirt with monkeys for great-great Grandparents" or special creation made in the image of God? I certainly know what I would rather be.
