Some Of The Factors Taken Into Account In Arguments Against Evolution

By Marcia Marks


There have been many theories for and against evolution. Basically, most of the theories for evolution contradict the story of creation in the bible. Scientists have therefore been working day and night while trying to determine which argument is true and which one is wrong. Most of these theories state that the earth is as a result of evolutionary processes. On the other hand, those who go for the creation story believe that God created the universe and everything in it. There are various arguments against evolution that have since come up because of this.

Lack of individuals who witnessed evolution as it occurred brings about a point of argument. The theories are just hypotheses and there is no one in history who can be said to be a witness. Even at the present period, it is hard to see evolution as it takes place. They have also failed to show transitional forms on how the process took place. As a matter of fact, flora and fauna need not to be differentiated if what they claim is true.

Various experiments have been carried out on fruit flies to try and see if new species can be produced from them. The fruits in this case are characterized by a rapid rate of reproduction. However, the tests which were meant to come up with a new species through mutation failed, of which it would have been possible if the theories of evolution were true.

Meteoritic dust was discovered to be settling on top of the moon and the earth. Since it is a continuous process, it is expected that after a long period of time the dust should have piled up many inches on the surfaces of these bodies. This is also what made the evolutionists to think that the first ship sent on the moon was going to sink. However, what they had thought did not occur as only less than an inch is what was found. It therefore indicates that the moon is still young.

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.

Evolutionists believe that there are some electric fields within the earth which give rise to its magnetism. If this is so, then the earth would have dissolved thousands of years ago due to the large amounts of heat produced then. It is therefore difficult to agree with this theory.

There is the theory of punctuated equilibria which top evolutionists have disagreed with to a large extent. According to the theory, one species could give rise to another one. For example, birds giving birth to mammals. This theory was meant to solve the issue of there being no transitional fossils for geological records.

From the research carried out by scientists, the probability of the punctuated equilibria theory is very minimal. Some of these theories have lacked a proper basis and thus the reason for these arguments against evolution. Most people therefore still hold on to the original story in the bible.
