Natural selection from a critical (evolutionist) perspective |
SUMMARY: |
The idea of natural selection has been central to the theory of evolution as a whole since its initial postulation by Darwin. Since then, natural selection has been widely accepted in the scientific community. However, a growing body of evidence has led a number of voices within the scientific community to question both natural selection as the driving force of evolution and the fact that textbooks have not changed: new generations of students are still taught that natural selection causes...

An Evolutionist's Startling Admission |
SUMMARY: |
Dr. Patterson was a life -long proponent of the Theory of Evolution. Like others who have doubts about Darwin's theory, he would voice them and then criticize those who used them to oppose evolutionary dogma. Still, his honestly concerning the lack of evidence for Darwinian evolution remains a valid source of criticism.

Archaeopteryx: The missing link that wasn't |
SUMMARY: |
When Charles Darwin first published On the Origin of Species in 1859, he was certain that the fossil record would eventually substantiate his theory. After all, if Darwin was correct, there should be a continuum of organisms beginning with the simplest life form and eventually progressing into every other type of creature. When this evidence of a continuum lifeforms remained missing, one by one, certain fossils were discovered and proclaimed by those who supported Darwin&rsq... Read more |

Are Flightless Birds Evidence of Evolution? |
SUMMARY: |
There is more than one explanation for wings that do not produce flight. Even if the wings of these flightless birds are indeed ‘useless’ for purposes of flight, and even if they were derived from birds that once could fly, this does not prove Darwin's theory is correct.

SUMMARY: |
When living organisms share similar genetic makeup should we automatically conclude we are seeing evidence of Darwinian molecules-to-men evolution, i.e. common descent? Or are we seeing the obvious similarities between all living things, because they have been designed to perform similar, if not identical, tasks.

SUMMARY: |
According to Harvard trained lawyer, Norman Macbeth, there is a glaring problem with evolutionary theory.

Professor Popper is generally regarded as one of the greatest philosphers of the 20th century (Wkipedia, 2015).

Complex Vision Systems in ‘Simple’ Organisms: The Trilobite Eye |

Yet the fact is that trilobites appear in the fossil record as fully-formed organisms complete with sophisticated vision systems such as ‘compound eyes.’

Evolutionists grudgingly admit the evidence for evolution is missing |

When an honest assessment is made concerning the acceptability of Darwin’s theory among biologists, a substantial number reject Darwin’s claims.

SUMMARY: |
Evolutionary theory alleges that every living creature is related. Science uses phlyo-genetic trees that are specific types of cladograms (branching diagrams that illustrate patterns of phylogenetic relationships)to infer common ancestry among similar organisms. These family trees (or evolutionary trees) are intended to show inferred evolutionary relationships among various biological species. The dirty little secret is that the connections between these alleged common ancestors i... Read more |

Failure to Demonstrate Evolution Continues |
SUMMARY: |
One of the icons of evolution has been the Miller-Urey experiments of the early 1950’s. Even though this ambitious experiment yielded very little in support of its original hypothesis, and what it did produce was fraught with problems (Sarfati, 1998, 2000), it is still promoted as evidence for the origin of life on planet Earth (Understanding Evolution, 2015).

Lord William Thomson Kelvin's first two laws of thermodynamics run counter to the concept of Darwinian Evolution.

Most people believe that Darwinian evolution is a scientific fact.

SUMMARY: |
Critics of the intelligent design movement fault design theorists for going to the biological literature to pull out quotes and ideas that support intelligent design.

But design theorists have nothing to be ashamed of here.

For over a decade now, it has been known that loggerheads, even as hatchlings, can use the earth’s magnetic field to help them tell north from south and steer themselves along the right latitude (Sarfati, 1999). How could such an amazing ability have arisen by evolution? As famous evolutionist J.B.S.
