I grew up learning evolution as
fact in school. But I have learned that there are problems with the theory of
evolution. Some examples:
The time problem: there is not
enough time for life to evolve, even given billions of years. Just for bacteria
to evolve scientists believe it would take forty billion to a hundred billion
years.
The coordination problem:
evolution teaches that all the wonderful complexity of life is nothing but a
bunch of chance events. Yet a bat would need to evolve flight, sound
navigation, ears to hear it, a brain to process the info received all at the
same time.
The mate problem: an animal that evolves into a new creature
would have to have a mate do so at exactly the same time and place to be able
to meet in order to propagate the species.
The no evolution problem: some
animals haven’t changed: sharks and mosquitoes
have not changed. If a new species is smarter,
stronger and better, why to the weaker, dumber and more basic animals still
exist?
The codependence problem: a plant
that requires insects such as bees for pollination had to evolve at the exact
same time and place as bees evolved. Plus, the bees need these plants to survive,
as well.
The decision problem: evolution
makes it sound like an animal made a conscious decision to evolve. One day, a fish decided it wanted to go on
land. One day a reptile decided it
wanted to fly. One day a cold–blooded animal decided it was tired of being
affected by cold weather so, it evolved a biological thermostat and became
warm-blooded. One day an ape decided it wanted to walk, so he came down out of
the safety of the trees. Since, it
couldn’t see over the tall grass it decided to walk upright.
Yet, creation is dismissed out of
hand as wrong without any consideration at all. But with creation, all these
problems are solved! God created life to
be co-dependent. He created the animals
as they are. The problems mentioned above are solved. Creation works!
“All flesh is not the
same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh
of beasts, another of fishes, and
another of birds.” 1 Corinthians 15:39.
