“Evolution” within a species has always been observed and understood; even before Darwin! That is, that a species will ADAPT in appearance etc according to climate, location, variation in diet etc. So evolution in the sense of “adaptation to circumstances within a species” is pretty well universally accepted, even amongst creationists and flat-earthers (if any flat-earthers still exist).<\/p>\n
However, evolution from one species into another has never been observed, is certainly not happening now and there is no fossil evidence whatever showing that this has ever happened. In other words, every single link is missing. And this is after more than 100 years of digging up a massive amount of fossil evidence.<\/p>\n
Much of the early observation has proved to be fallacious. For example, Darwin thought he had observed finches in the process of evolving because there was clearly a marked change of shape in their beaks over several generations. Continued observation of the same finches have shown that their beaks change in shape according to whether their habitat is in drought or plenteous rainfall. In other words, the beak shape changes back and forth according to variations in their climate. At least Darwin was sincere in what he thought he was observing. Another example are the drawings by Haeckel, which still appear in biology text books, which show how similar developing foetuses of chickens, frogs, fish, humans and various other mammals are supposed to be in the early days of gestation. These have since been showed to be totally untrue. In other words, Haeckel forged them. Yet they still appear in text books.<\/p>\n
Evolution scientists have worked quite a lot with fruit flies, which can go through many generations in a short period of time. However many odd traits have been bred into these unfortunate experimental insects, they still remain stubbornly and irredeemably fruit flies!!<\/p>\n
Mendel, the great geneticist, was a contemporary of Darwin, and was always very opposed to the theory of evolution. In fact, genetics, a branch of science which is backed up by a great deal of sound hard evidence, is totally at odds with the theory of evolution. That is, you have to choose between one or the other. You cannot have both, despite what some evolutionary scientists who try and bend genetics into evolutionary theory say!<\/p>\n
Things have got so ridiculous now that evolutionary theorists are publishing pure fantasy as scientific research. For example, it is common to set up computer programs to generate imaginary worlds which might “evolve” on totally imaginary planets with totally imaginary climates and present this as “scientfic research” on television!! This might not be so far-fetched if there was any evidence at all that evolution had ever happened on this planet. But, as there isn’t, it is totally bonkers! Not only that, it as far removed from true scientific method as Alice in Wonderland!<\/p>\n
The trouble is that, if everything is not here by chance and the universe is here by design, that presupposes a designer, therefore a creator and hence ….. God!!! This “Darwinian age”, to coin a phrase, has been probably the only one in the entire history of the world to fail to recognise, or delibeately ignore, the evidence of design within the universe. The Greek philosophers recognised it and, though they did not recognise the originator of that design as a personal God, they referred to him\/it, however they understood that originator to be, as the “Logos”. Evolution is the gospel of the atheist, because, if it were true, it could be understood as removing the need for a creator. Believing in it is more of a leap of blind faith than the faiths held by believers of any religion at all because all religions in some shape or form incorporate into their belief systems the evidence of design which we all see in the world around us. Speaking as a christian, I also have the evidence of history, the fulfilment of prophecies, the miracles which I have seen happen in answer to prayer, let alone the many which are recorded in the Bible and all down the ages since, to back up my faith. I can see “evolution” for what it is; the last redoubt of the person who desperately wants to avoid facing his Creator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
