Some Of The Arguments Against Evolution

By Marcia Marks


How the whole universe came into being is still a mystery to many. Many theories have thus come up to try and explain how they were formed and why they are in their current positions. They are known as the theories of evolution, and mostly they are in opposition to the creation story in the bible. According to them, the universe was formed through natural means. However, there are number of arguments against evolution which have be put forward.

Among the arguments against the theories of evolution is that of lack of people who saw it happening. Those supporting this statement say that if it were something real, then the process would still be happening even at the present moment. Therefore, there should be a number of transitional forms which can be observed. However, what is seen is a group of differentiated animals and plants.

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.

Annually, meteoritic dust settles on top of the earth and the moon. This happens in a continuous process and thus if the earth and the moon were as old as they are said to be, then the pile would have been so big. This would have even made the first ship on the moon to sink, of which was not the case. When the ship landed, less than an inch of the dust is what was found. This therefore suggests that the moon is still young and so is the 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.

Some arguments also look at the fact that if the magnetism of the earth is due to electric currents in it then it would not be in place today. This is because the heat that would have been generated by the currents some twenty thousand years ago would have easily dissolved the earth. This is therefore against the theories of the evolutionists.

Many people have been questioning the geological evidence that has been provided to support evolution. The main question is here is why are there no transitional fossils to show how the current species changed through various forms. This what mainly led to the development of the punctuated equilibria theory. According to it, one species could develop into another, for example mammals being born by birds.

The conditions through which the punctuated equilibria theory is based upon are of low probability. There are therefore various arguments against evolution and some may be true while some are not. Some people have thus chosen to stick with the original story of creation.
