The Cambrian explosion and other times in the geologic record show that birds appear suddenly reptiles appear suddenly fish appear suddenly there’s no intermediate species.
Findings are going away from Darwin not towards him because we are finding more unique animals not animals with similar intermediate species.
In the fossil record an animal appears stays and then disappears upon extinction or survives to today.
Just opening a niche after a mass extinction does not mean new species are going to be created because there’s no code for them.
Evolution does not answer the question of the original life; it claims that life changed, but it doesn’t explain how life started.
Life cannot have originated on Earth, mathematically there’s not enough time even for evolution.
In Darwin’s day they did not know cells were very complex, they looked like little bobs of jelly; today we know cells are run by many complex machines. In their simplistic view of nature, they thought it was reasonable for natural selection to evolve life. But it isn’t reasonable. It’s WAY too complex.
