Some Of The Factors Taken Into Account In 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.

A number of the arguments are based on the fact that there are no witnesses to evolution. Most of these theories have therefore failed to provide evidence for the availability of transitional forms. If what they purport was true, then plants and animals would not have been differentiated. It is however difficult to see the process happening even at the present times.

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.

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.

The theory of punctuated equilibria seems to have its flaws. Even some of the evolutionists disagree by themselves. It was developed in order to try and answer the questions arising with geological records as there were no transitional fossils found. According to the theory, birds would have given birth to mammals, i. E. One species arising from another.

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.
