Be sure to see the expansive incredible work Rebecca is doing at her Examining Origins YouTube channel. Here is a taste of it. These are my notes highliting this video, with added commentary.
There are no supposed mountains of evidence for evolution!
MUTATION & SELECTION:
Mutations are not positive even if you want to stay there’s a tiny few of them that are there’s not nearly enough.
Mutations are the only way Evolution could create anything and they’re detrimental and insufficient.
Selection doesn’t come up with new things it chooses from what’s already there.
Selection doesn’t have foresight to build integrated systems, and we see integrated systems even on the smallest levels of life like the cell.
It’s laughable how evolutionists try and come up with ways to explain how one life form changed into others. They just look at two different things and come up with random ideas about how one could have changed into the other.
REPRODUCTION AND WHAT CAME FIRST:
The question of what came first the chicken or the egg, the evolutionists say the egg, they say it came from the proto chicken and that came from the proto-proto chicken and they keep going back and they won’t answer how the first complex egg came.
The chicken egg problem is only a problem for evolution. A better theory is that life was designed. (More on this at the end.)
Note a recent evolution movie talked about a new species emerging. It showed a picture of an egg. They were trying to push the dogma of dinosaurs becoming birds, which is complete bogus. But they don’t answer is where those eggs come from. End note.
Note: I also like the theory that the design of life simply entailed bringing life from previous worlds onto this one. God Himself, being our father, made the first humans here. And He brought various animals and plants. Brigham Young famously gives the analogy of starting a new farm. You don’t reinvent the wheel, you bring the materials from the previous farm. And fathers help sons get new operations going. Indeed, creation is the family business! Brigham was also remarkably plain when he taught that the Biblical truth that things are made from their parents kinds, and in no other way. Joseph Smith taught this too. How any Latter-day Saint could believe in evolution is beyond me. End note.
Evolution would have to produce a male and a female in one generation to reproduce. Though evolutionists will make up stories about this and everything else those stories are not satisfying. There are many very different types of reproductive organs, highly specific. And why would these develop at all if before they developed, somehow the creatures were able to reproduce, as evolution suggests.
FOSSIL RECORD SUDDEN APPEARANCES:
At some of the lowest places of the fossil record we have the sudden appearance of complex eyes like the trilobite etc. Evolutionists say that early on life was simple and it got more complex over time yet we have these sudden early complex appearances in the fossil record.
Note Dr Carl Werner does an excellent job of pointing out how many ancient fossil forms are just modern Life forms given a new name to make them appear of a different age because they’re found at different places. End note.
Darwin called it an abominable mystery that we see the sudden appearance of flowering plants in the fossil record. There’s all kinds of ” explosions” in the fossil record.
Note: another hobby theory of evolutionists is stasis. They claim Evolution went on pause for a long time and then it suddenly did a bunch of stuff and then it went on pause for a long time and did a bunch more stuff. This is a fancy way of getting around the fact that things appear suddenly in the fossil record like the Cambrian explosion and many other instances. A much more simple explanation is that various things were created. End note.
Note: Stephen Meyer gives the analogy of jumping across the Grand canyon. Clearly unbelievable. But someone says ‘oh lots of little buttes appeared and I jumped across one, and then it fell behind me so you don’t see it anymore.’ So they’re claiming all these intermediate steps existed, you just can’t see them. So it is with evolution, we don’t see the intermediate steps, it’s highly theoretical, and frankly ridiculous. End note.
THE TREE:
The tree of life is a complete mess, there’s no tree linking modern Life forms to a supposed single common animal ancestor. When evolutionists run into a problem with their tree they just make up a new word. Parallel evolution, complete lineage sorting, ghost lineage, deep homology, convergent evolution, etc.
One example is flying squirrels and sugar gliders, one marsupial the other with a placenta, yet they go on different branches of the tree even though they look very much alike. They use the word convergent evolution to try and explain this.
They claim different crab forms developed five or six times, They put them in different families, claiming that this shape developed independently over and over. They call it convergent evolution.
The same with eyes. They say that eyes have separately evolved on different branches 45 to 60 separate times.
The human eye and the octopus eye are similar yet these are supposed to be totally different lines on the tree,
The same with photosynthesis. 62 types of it and they claim it’s all developed each time independently on different branches. Photosynthesis has been called the most convergent evolution. But no it’s not simple to make and it’s far more complex than our solar panels. This complex evolution shouldn’t be happening all over the place.
“Your whole evolutionary tree is on fire”
“Convergent evolution is everywhere which means there is no tree of life”
Note evolutions tree of Life is the apostate replacement for the true Christian tree of life in Christ. End note.
So the idea of the evolution tree is that you start simple and you get more complex and everything builds off each other but they recognize this isn’t what nature shows so they claim these things independently evolved over and over and over on different branches.
FINAL NOTES:
“If you are believing in evolution you are believing in something in spite of scientific observation.”
Most people don’t pay attention to the issue of evolution and just believe in it because they’re told that smart people believe in it. They are not critically thinking.
Evolution corrupts people’s minds. It makes it incredibly hard to find God if you believe in evolution.
Evolutionists keep claiming we don’t know what evolution is. Everyone knows what evolution is. It’s been rammed down our throats since elementary school.
She is willing to debate anyone, so let me know if you find a challenger!
“Evolution is not the best current explanation for the biodiversity of life. It’s a terrible explanation. It is proven wrong many times over by scientific observations. Why is it still hanging on? It’s hanging on for different reasons, mostly religious reasons.”
Note: what a strange phenomenon that evolution, the philosophy of atheism, is now hanging on for religious reasons. Indeed, the religion of the devil is what keeps evolution around. It certainly isn’t the religion of the Bible. To say that God used evolution is apathetic and entirely unnecessary and redundant compromise. End note.
“Evolution is on the level of absurdity with flat earth. Maybe more so. That’s how strong our evidence is against evolution.”
Life only comes from life. But evolutionists want to break that law.
When evolutionists can’t respond to the scientific problems with evolution, they change the conversation to attack religious beliefs. It doesn’t help their case.
She suggests that one possibility for diversity of animals after the flood is God could simply create more animals.
Note another big possibility is that the ark was so big that a lot more types of animals could have fit on it then simple thinking has previously allowed for. I think it was Jeanson the geneticist who pointed that out. End note.
Even if you don’t have a better explanation for the origin of life than evolution, evolution can be false all on its own. If someone doesn’t have a better explanation it doesn’t mean evolution is true. But the better explanation is that life was designed! This resolves chicken and egg problems evolutionists have, it resolves fossil record problems evolutionists have, it resolves tree of life problems evolutionists have, etc.
To say in the beginning God created makes sense scientifically. On the other hand evolution doesn’t make sense scientifically. Evolution is just another religion, just another origins story.
Note: As Dr. Kent Hovind, the famous creation teacher, says, “Evolution is a carefully protected state religion.”
