3 WEAKNESS OF EVOLUTION Ø Mechanism - Ø Support - None Superficial Ø Past Support - Destroying Ø Against - Supports Creation

4 MUTATIONS

5 MUTATIONS Sudden small changes in the DNA code of genes which are passed on to an organism's offspring

6 It must not be forgotten that mutation is the ultimate source of all genetic variation found in natural populations & the only new material available for natural selection to work. Ernst Mayr

7 v Mechanism - Frequent Many Beneficial v Research years MUTATIONS

8 TRANSITIONAL FORMS From Plant Life to Animal Life

9 MUTATIONS 1. Rare Abby & Brittany Hensel

10 1/10,000 to 1/1,000,000 / gene / generation or 1/10,000,000 / DNA duplication

11 MUTATIONS 1. Rare 2. Unpredictable Abby & Brittany Hensel

12 TRANSITIONAL FORMS????

13 It remains true to say that we know of no way other than random mutation by which new hereditary variation comes into being, nor any process other than natural selection by which the hereditary constitution changes from one generation to the next. CH Maddington

14 MUTATIONS 1. Rare 2. Unpredictable 3. Harmful Abby & Brittany Hensel

15 Most mutations are bad. In fact, good ones are so rare we can consider them all bad. - well over 99% bad HJ Muller

16 MUTATIONS 1. Rare 2. Unpredictable 3. Harmful 4. Genetic Burden Abby & Brittany Hensel

17 GENETIC BURDEN Burden that drags down the genetic quality of a species

18 MUTATIONS 1. Rare 2. Unpredictable 3. Harmful 4. Genetic Burden 5. Pathological 6. Rejection 7. Information Loss Abby & Brittany Hensel

19 in all the reading I ve done in the life-sciences literature, I ve never found a mutation that added information. Lee Spetner

20 MUTATIONS FACTS Mutations Occur EVOLUTION CREATION Mechanism Destructive

21 CONCLUSION Ø No Mechanism for Evolution Ø Evidence of Degeneration

22 To make evolution happen or even to make evolution a scientific theory evolutionists need some kind of genetic script writer to increase the quantity & quality of genetic information. Gary Parker

23 Frank & Ernest

24 WEAKNESS OF EVOLUTION Ø Mechanism - Ø Support - None Superficial

25 EVIDENCE? 1. Comparative Anatomy

26 Anatomy Embryology

27 COMPARATIVE ANATOMY Ø Similarity in Anatomy Ø Basis of Classification Ø There are Similarities Ø How Do you Explain?

28 COMPARATIVE ANATOMY

29 Human Cat Whale Bat

30 Similar Structures -> Common Ancestry

31 PROBLEMS 1. Vast Differences 2. Changing Views 3. Convergence 4. Divergence 5. Arbitrary Groupings

32 Presupposition A Presupposition B DATA Revelation Interpretation A Interpretation B

33 Similar Structures -> Common Ancestry OR Similar Design -> Common Designer

34 Updated Version: Human DNA = 95% Primate DNA

35 EVIDENCE? 1. Comparative Anatomy 2. Microevolution

36 Microevolution -> Macroevolution

37 EXAMPLES ü Peppered Moths ü Finches ü Selective Breeding

38 Microbiology Zoology

39 Microevolution -> Macroevolution OR Completion -> Variation

40 CREATIONISM 1. Scripture 2. Adaptation - not evolution 3. Genetic Info 4. No New Species 5. Fit to Environment

41 EVIDENCE? 1. Comparative Anatomy 2. Microevolution 3. Vestigial Organs

42 VESTIGIAL ORGANS Ø Evolution - Left Over Parts

45 VESTIGIAL ORGANS Ø Evolution - Left Over Parts Ø Creation Discovery of Use DNA Different Less than Expected Poor Examples Do not Disappear

55 THE OTHER SIDE

56 Evidence from Paleontology

57 MISCONCEPTIONS 1. Availability of Fossil 2. Authority of Science 3. Hominid Fossils 4. Science as Self-correcting (Lubenow)

58 EVOLUTION Ø Missing Links Required Ø Common Ancestor of Man & Apes Ø 5-20 million years ago Ø True Man million Ø Future - deity

61 WEAKNESS OF EVOLUTION Ø Mechanism - Ø Support - None Superficial Ø Past Support - Destroying

62 FOSSIL RECORD 1. Abrupt Appearance 2. Complex Forms 3. No Transitional Forms 4. Inconsistencies 5. Persistence of Kinds

63 In any case, no real evolutionist, whether gradualist or punctuationist, uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of the theory of evolution as opposed to special creation. Mark Ridley

64 The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages between major transitions in organic design, indeed our inability, even in our imagination, to construct functional intermediates in many cases, has been a persistent & nagging problem for gradualistic accounts of evolution. Steven Jay Gould

65 CONCLUSION Fossil Record Destroys Evolution And Supports Creation Science

66 THE MYTH OF EVOLUTION Ultimately the Darwinian theory of evolution is no more nor less than the great cosmogenic myth of the 20th century. Michael Denton

67 WEAKNESS OF EVOLUTION Ø Mechanism - Ø Support - None Superficial Ø Past Support - Destroying Ø Against - Supports Creation

68 WHY EVOLUTION? Ø It is Man s best explanation leaving God out. Ø If God is Creator, then all men stand accountable to Him.
