Refuting Evolution
Many factors contribute to the idea of gradual speciation, but all fall under the same theory of evolution. Webster defines evolution as "the theory that groups of organisms change drastically and smoothly with passage of time, mainly as a result of natural selection or chance, so that descendants differ morphologically and physiologically from their ancestors". With regard to the theory, one must consider the facts that are certain to refute the concept. Disproving the theory of Evolution has nothing to do with the validity of creationism (a god created the earth) or the Bible, but rests solely on the authenticity of the evidence the theory puts forth. To understand evolution, a non-believer must outline what he/she would expect from the theory, listen to the evidence, then offer an explanation of why sufficient evidence is not produced and try to interpret why believers stay with the theory. In order to convince one of the validity of the theory, the listener must know what to expect for the theory to "be true". Evolution violates what we as people think about the world. Naturally, such things as carcasses, chemical bonds, and sewing seams break down over periods of time. The difficulty comes, however, when one is to t
Ernst Mayr has shown how Darwin, in defending evolution, consistently turned to organic parts and geographic distributions that make the least sense. One must expect the theory to provide that all of the parts of humans that derived from the single-celled organism came together smoothly. Such small-scale change is a great possibility that evolution does occur and is linked with microevolution, but no sufficient evidence has been put forth yet. 27 February, 2001Jones, Stephen E. (Wells) Scientists continue to find evidence in the fossils that evolution has occurred for humans and animals alike. The most recent evidence toward human evolvement is the Australopithecus afarensis (Lucy). Even if the strata were different, there are no intermediate fossils that suggest the evolving process was smooth. An example is the tiger and the sabre-tooth tiger. (Pearcey) Another more strongly supported record is the famous "horse case". These horse fossils were not found in the lower strata of the earth, but near the fossils of modern horses.
