Some Of The Arguments Against Evolution

By Marcia Marks


How the whole universe came into being is still a mystery to many. Many theories have thus come up to try and explain how they were formed and why they are in their current positions. They are known as the theories of evolution, and mostly they are in opposition to the creation story in the bible. According to them, the universe was formed through natural means. However, there are number of arguments against evolution which have be put forward.

Among the arguments against the theories of evolution is that of lack of people who saw it happening. Those supporting this statement say that if it were something real, then the process would still be happening even at the present moment. Therefore, there should be a number of transitional forms which can be observed. However, what is seen is a group of differentiated animals and plants.

Fruit flies have been used in many experiments by scientists when trying to create new species. They have been chosen for research because of their high rate of reproduction. The main aim of these experiments was to allow mutation to take place under the same conditions purported in the theories. However the experiments have failed because it is not possible.

Annually, meteoritic dust settles on top of the earth and the moon. This happens in a continuous process and thus if the earth and the moon were as old as they are said to be, then the pile would have been so big. This would have even made the first ship on the moon to sink, of which was not the case. When the ship landed, less than an inch of the dust is what was found. This therefore suggests that the moon is still young and so is the earth.

The magnetic field of the earth keeps on reducing at a rapid rate. If this is the case, then eight thousand years ago its magnetism would have been the same with that of a magnetic star. The possibility of this occurrence is highly unlikely.

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.

Many people have been questioning the geological evidence that has been provided to support evolution. The main question is here is why are there no transitional fossils to show how the current species changed through various forms. This what mainly led to the development of the punctuated equilibria theory. According to it, one species could develop into another, for example mammals being born by birds.

The circumstances under which the theory of punctuated equilibria would have occurred are just too minimal and the probability is even low. This and other evidences make up the arguments against evolution. Most of those arguing against the theories believe in the possibility of creation taking place.
