Why are we all convinced life is a result of evolution? Part 1 of 2

 Let me give a brief introduction. First, I am fully aware that micro evolution is a natural part of life and there are literally thousands upon thousands of examples of this. Macroevolution, the belief we all came from a common ancestor and such, has very little evidence (and in some areas absolutely none). It's baffling to me how so many people are indoctrinated to believe evolution as scientific fact. If you've seen the movie expelled its quite apparent how supporters of evolution look to hinder adversaries in every way except for arguing their points intellectually. I am completely open to the idea that evolution is the truth, but i really just dont see the evidence supporting it right now.

Open any science text book (well except in Texas, lolol), and in it you will be told that all life and all biological diversity comes from evolution. This means that in the beginning, a cell was created somehow and then that cell went on to create the animals, and those animals diverge into other animals and so forth. Don't worry, I'm going into more detail. Quite frankly, i am perfectly fine with teaching evolution in schools. Just please bring both sides to the argument. The other side being an intelligent designer. Anyway, let me give you an outline of some of the contentions I'm going to discuss. This isn't every argument i have, I dont want to spend days on just these posts. I may make more posts arguing other aspects of it, im not sure yet.


Reasons Against Macro-Evolution
  1. Life and information has not been proven to be created by natural causes, only intelligent ones.
  2. Irreducible Complexity-  Some early biological features are impossible to come from natural causes.
  3. The Cambrian Explosion- That complex life did not gradually come to be, but more just showed 

Point #1 - Life and information has not been proven to be created by natural causes, only intelligent ones.
   Let me open with a little visualization. Take a look at the grand canyon. Beautiful, yes? Is there any doubt in your mind that that wasn't caused by wind, erosion, and whatever other natural forces? Now take a look at Mount Rushmore, can that be caused by the same natural forces? Absolutely not. We have never documented any thing like Mount Rushmore from natural causes.

So rewind hundreds of millions of years ago. There is no life on planet Earth. We'll just say there's a primordial soup, even though there's no evidence one existed. Life requires DNA. The first life also required such DNA. This also includes RNA, proteins and numerous smaller parts that have to be included for life to exist. You cannot just have one of these and have life exist. They all must come together at the exact same time or you are left with a useless piece of matter. Also, I'm sure you have an idea how complex DNA really is. Bill Gates mentioned that DNA is far more complex then any program designed by a human thus far. And the amount of information stored in a strand of DNA is equivalent to roughly 1000 volumes of an encyclopedia. Evolutionists cannot give you a reasonable explanation about how all the things required of the first cell came to be. To me it's more reasonable to assume this is not how life started, and that's before the other evidence.





 This is the end of part 1. I'll be posting part 2 either on Thursday or Friday. I am open to all criticisms and questions of this topic. Really, if you have any disagreements, please comment. I'll make an effort to respond to them in my next post.

  1. My guess is you watched ben stein's movie expelled and got exited that god still could exist. That movie is so bad it can't be called a documentary. It's a creationist propaganda film that outright lies.

    Here's a Quote from Stein:

    "Alas, Darwinism has had a far bloodier life span than Imperialism. Darwinism, perhaps mixed with Imperialism, gave us Social Darwinism, a form of racism so vicious that it countenanced the Holocaust against the Jews and mass murder of many other groups in the name of speeding along the evolutionary process."

    This is absolutely ridiculous. Ben Stein, a Jew, is implying the belief in evolution caused the Holocaust.

  2. Genuinely interested in this, as I go to church and everything, but no one actually goes through the time to put it all together like this. Hope Part II comes soon. ~_O

  3. personally I believe a little bit of everything. I think a lot like you if I understood your text correctly. Maybe there was a big bang, but who made that? and yeah I believe there was evolution of animals sure, but they all had to start somewhere. I think theres an architect/intelligent designer.

  8. not a thing in the world can really be proven, but some are like 99,99 % likely to be as scientists say

  11. im convinced becuase of te proof that been found and because i refuse to belive in the creationist heory becuase in my opinion it sounds stupid for me ( no ofence on any religion its just my way of thinking.).
