12 reasons why Evolution is impossible

[Legend of Josh]

To completely ignore or deny the very real possibility of evolution is sheer ignorance or the product of any rational mind being in full and total denial.

agreed. It's putting your head in the sand. What's even more dumb is the Catholic Church, by far the largest christian faith, has always accepted evolution without problem. The only people that don't are redneck fundamental american christians who celebrate their ignorance and make it a pre-req to be considered faithful.

I'm a Christian ... and LOL ... the Catholic church is the biggest problem with the Christian faith, period.

Haha, go figure that one out.

they haven't been so bad on modern science, but they still drop the ball on social and medical problems.

1. Mutations do not produce new purposeful genetic information.

2. Evolution of a new species as a result of new genetic code arising has never been observed.

3. There is no known proven mechanism that can explain how new purposeful genetic information could arise, and statistically it is impossible.

4. There is no known proven mechanism that can explain all the steps for a living cell to form from nonliving molecules (abiogenesis), and statistically it is impossible.

5. Abiogenesis has never been observed and all experiments to initiate it have failed.

6. The fossil record is a record of extinction of fully formed animals and plants --- not a record of the evolution of life forms.

7. There are no fossils of proven mutant evolutionary intermediate organisms, yet there should be millions and millions of fossils of such mutations. That is, we have no evidence of actual evolution in the fossil record.

8. Some of the oldest fossil-bearing rocks contain fully developed advanced animals such as trilobites, with no evidence of evolutionary ancestors.

9. Erosion rates for the continents are too fast for the continents and their fossil content to be old enough for supposed evolution to occur.

10. There are not enough ocean sediments or volcanic deposits for the continents to be old enough to allow for supposed evolution.

11. Radiometric dating results give old ages for recent rocks, so we cannot accurately "know" the age of rocks. Also, the finding of carbon-14 in coal and diamonds means that these deposits must be less than 100,000 years old, indicating insufficient time for supposed evolution.

12. The rate of mutation of DNA currently observed suggests that DNA must be less than 100,000 years old, which is not enough time for supposed evolution.

This list is not exhaustive.

So much junk here, but I'll point out one piece:

A couple of your points assume that evolution is "purposeful", as if species "decide" to evolve.

In reality, evolution "just happens", and the mutations that are able to best improve fitness are passed along, while other ones which may hamper fitness aren't, over a large period of time.

I'm sure OP's expos

[OmniStrife]

OP is the proof that evolution can actually miss some people.

I hope none of you Americans are stupid enough to state your "disbelief" in evolution out loud when you're abroad.

Purposeful mutation is not a mutation that produces a new leg or arm or something ridiculously complex.

It can as simple as making the color of an organism get darker...the darker color helps the organism escape predators by allowing it to blend in with its environment.

Over many years, darker and darker organisms of this kind mate and producer still darker offspring.

That just makes it all the better that he cited websites that he supposedly used to craft this asinine list.

I think wackadoo fundies give christianity a worse name. Most Catholic people aren't really hardcore religious people who run around claiming the earth is 4000 years old and that gays and non christians are all going to hell.

It absolutely amazes me that there are so many people who live in a such a sheltered bubble of blissful ignorance, and unfortunately too often, lots and lots of hatred. And these people vote! And have children that they pass their ignorance and hate to! makes me feel

So basically I see a lot of trash talking, but no actual attempts to refute the arguments. Hmmm, seems pretty standard for most evolutionists. Keep believing someone "smarter" than you has it all figured out and can't possibly be biased, meanwhile the rest of us will actually be out looking for the truth.

Also, I have yet to see someone give me one observable, scientifically verifiable example of Darwinian evolution. A lot of shaky assumptions that can easily be explained by other things, but no actual evidence.
