I don’t believe in evolution. (I also don’t believe that the earth is flat nor that Santa Claus comes down the chimney every Christmas). There is way too much evidence against evolution and nothing convincing for it. I’m not just spouting this off- we have spent a great deal of time and investigation (as part of our school curriculum and also because my husband is The Brainy Science Guy) on this topic. I could go on and on and on about the details, but I don’t want to here. However, I will address a few major problems regarding the theory of evolution, problems that have never been adequately answered by evolutionists:
- Evolution defies the universal Second Law of Thermodynamics/Law of Entropy (which states that all matter goes from order to disorder, like an old house, aging, and my checkbook balance). Evolution says that SOMETHING orderly came from chaotic disorder, that random simplicity grew into complexity. Total nonsense. To my knowledge, there isn’t anything else in the universe that contradicts the Second Law of Thermodynamics/Law of Entropy. Except the theory of evolution.
- Evolution says that species are changing into other species. There is NO evidence for this, not even in the fossil record. None. Oh evolutionists will say that species adapt (finch beaks get bigger or smaller as food becomes scarcer or more abundant)- that’s called adaptation. It occurs in nature all the time. But finches aren’t evolving into lizards. Hasn’t happened, except in the fertile minds of some evolutionists.
- Irreducible Complexity proves evolution is false. The bodies of living things are very complex, down to the tiniest cell. Without all the crucial systems of a body working, the body breaks down, not evolves into something better or something else. Think about your body- you NEED your respiratory system, your circulatory system, your digestive system, etc all to be in existence simultaneously. If one of these systems is incomplete because it’s still evolving, the body will not function! Evolution says everything evolved at a very slow pace (although, some evolutionists are changing their theories and saying things happened REALLY REALLY fast- one day, a bird had an egg and a lizard popped out! Seriously, one scientist said that!). But evolving at a slow or fast pace is stupid, because living things don’t evolve. Evolutionists also like to say “Evolution is cleverer than you are” which means that you just *never know* what evolution can do. All I can say to that is: exactly! You cannot know because there is NO EVIDENCE! It’s an terribly illogical theory.
- Evolutionists use evolution as the main excuse to reject the existence of God. Some have even said it- they would rather believe that life on earth came from aliens who “seeded” the planet, or that creatures evolved over billions of years from nothing, than believe in God. That’s a REALLY dumb reason to promote a “scientific” theory. In any other arena in life, that attitude would immediately remove scientific credibility. But- oddly enough- not so with evolution! Some believe that evolution is all the more NOBLE because they refuse to see the evidence of intelligent design!
- Where did reason and thinking come from? Evolutionists say it’s all chemical processes in the brain, but there’s no conclusive proof for this. Where did love come from? Hatred? The conscience, anger, compassion, intuition?? Where did all these come from? Where did gravity come from? Where did natural laws come from? Where did light and water come from? And how is it that the earth is PERFECTLY positioned in the galaxy- if it was even 10% closer to the sun, we’d burn up. If it was 10% further from the sun, we’d freeze. Evolution cannot explain these things.
- Why are there male and females in species? Why is reproduction situated this way, if there is evolution? And HOW ON EARTH did evolution make males AND females concurrently?! Our bodies are very, very complex. Evolution is just too simple- so, so simple that it just can’t work.
- And the final reason: Dr. Kent Hovind. VERY cool videos!
The "Tree of Life" is entirely made up. It's published in textbooks, but it's all imagination.
Sorry, Mr. Huxley. I just can't believe that 6 monkeys pounding away on typewriters would, by pure chance, if given enough time, be bound to write out all the works held in the British Library (or in all other libraries, for that matter)." That's just dumb.
That’s just a tiny smidgen of the data I have gathered over the 20 years we’ve been studying this issue.
Oh, I do have ONE MORE good argument against evolution: math. 
Watch this video, it’s cool!:

Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves.

One of the reasons I love evolution so much, is because it’s so easy to refute! :D Evolution is what you get when you combine lots of time with lots of imagination. Poof! And we don’t have an ounce of proof, so lets start digging for a single missing link to bridge the gap between all living species and humans. Shouldn’t there be at least a few billion missing links bridging the millions and millions of generations? I like what Ann Coulter said: “The whole theory is a gap.”
Thanks for posting!

hmmmm…I understand what you’re driving at but I still do believe that things evolve over time. We can see it just in the last few hundred years as people are evolving to live longer (as well as being taller) than our ancestors.
I believe God can do anything…even create us through a process of evolution. How do you explain Neandertals and other pre-homo sapiens?
I’m not a scientist and I do believe God created everything we see, including us. But I’ve not yet ruled out that he didn’t also create evolution as a process.
Then again, what do I know.

@megscole64;
The term ‘evolution’ needs some clarification before having a fruitful discussion. If all it means is, “change over time,” that’s fine, and very obviously true. Living things do have an ability for LIMITED change built right into them. Just witness some of the differences in mankind; from Australian Aborigines to Scandanavians to Japanese Sumo wrestlers! That’s some variation! But very obviously all are ‘mankind’. (And at this point, I’d urge you to think more critically of what you’ve learned about Neanderthals and ‘pre-homo sapiens).
The problem comes when this ability for living things to change over time is extrapolated on a grand scale to explain ALL the variety of life that we see. Evolutionists would have us believe that somehow, someway life was created in a chemical soup on the early earth many millions of years ago (witness the attempts to re-enact this with things like the famous Urey-Miller experiment), which was then able to reproduce, adapt, and become the great, great, great, …. (snore) … grandfather/mother of all living things today. As Mike said earlier, all that’s needed is lots of time and imagination. Darwin himself spoke of imagining the beginning of life this way in “Origin of Species”.
I’d urge you to examine your beliefs here more closely. Our education system today has a non-scientific philosophical bias against God that, having successfully kicked Him out, won’t allow Him a foot back in the door, despite their crumbling theories.

@Rebecca - Aw, you know I like your blog, right? But I LOVE the apologetics stuff… when anyone brings it up, my ears automatically perk up. So… Excellent post! LOL! ;)
@megscole64 - In addition to what’s already been said, I think it’s important to point out that although God COULD use evolution to create, He didn’t. And here’s one reason why: Things evolve so slowly, through random processes in evolution that to suggest that God could create us through such is a clear slap in the face to His creativity. Clearly, if God had wanted to use evolution He could have; however, by doing so, He would only be proving that He couldn’t get things right the first time (because things are constantly evolving into different species according to evolution). So the question arises, “Can’t God decide what He wants the first time?” If He really “spoke and it was done” as the Scriptures say, then how can that be reconciled with the ever-changing, random processes of evolution?
Additionally, we cannot believe that God created man in His own image (as the Genesis records) if we believe that man evolved by slow, random processes from slim, apes, or who-knows-what. Secondly, it should be pointed out that Neanderthal Man is not evidence for human evolution. It has been proven that Neanderthal Man was a human just like us, but he had a bone disease which made him stoop (and hence he is used as proof that we evolved from the apes).
Lastly, God saw all that He created, and it was good; but if we believe in evolution, we have to believe that things are not good until they are done evolving (for example, nothing can function without all the necessary parts, yet this is what evolution asserts). So I don’t believe that God uses evolution to create anything.
I like what Sir Fredrick Hoyle said about evolution, ““The likelihood (probability) of the spontaneous formation of life from inanimate matter is one to number with 40,000 noughts after it … It is big enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of evolution. There was no primeval soup, neither on this planet nor on any other, and if the beginnings of life were not random, they must therefore have been the product of purposeful intelligence.” (That’s 10 with 40,000 zeros after it; anything less than 10 with 50 zeros is considered to be impossible.)

@megscole64
One of the many reasons humans are living longer is because of better knowledge of correct hygiene habits, such as washing hands after touching some germ-infested object. Also, I don’t exactly see why God would not make His Creation perfect in the first place, when God said “It was good.” Since we believe God is all-knowing, He would know exactly how to create us and wouldn’t have to experiment. In Romans, it says that death entered the world through Adam’s sin, but death would have been occurring left and right if living creatures were dying off to allow the evolving ones to thrive. There would have to be millions of missing links and not just a few exceptional ones. Over a period of billions of years, certainly in the evolution from bacteria to humans, there ought to be at least a few million of them, and they ought to be found everywhere. And lastly, even evolutionists can’t explain how life began if you question them thoroughly. Even the evolution theory itself has highly evolved because no one has seen any evolution from one creature to another (nor even the start of it).
