The Truth about Evolution

"The more one studies the paleontological record, the more certain one becomes that evolution is based on faith alone." ~ Professor Louis T. More, University of Cincinnati

In my recent post wherein I addressed the myth of disappearing rain forests, I failed to mention that the "figures" on just how many acres of rain forests are disappearing and just how fast it is happening are apparently in doubt, because one only has to do a google search to see that every group, organization, and other apologists for these environmentalists whackos can't even agree on the "facts". Everyone of them has different figures. How can you rely on them to be telling the truth, when they themselves can't agree on lunch?

But wait. The comments section of that post degenerated into a discussion of whether the theory of evolution is true or not. Many of my current commenters are likely unaware that I have addressed the evolution myth before, oftentimes in passing, but at least once, I devoted an entire post to the question.

It is my conviction that it takes more faith to believe in Evolution than to believe in God. Evolution is the religion of the Liberals.

The fact is that evolution is unproved and unprovable.

Now, before you attack me for that statement, you should know that didn't come from me. It came from Sir Arthur Keith(1866-1955), a British anatomist and anthropologist who wrote 20 books in defense of evolution. He also said, "We believe it(evolution) because the only alternative is special creation, which is unthinkable."

So if you want to dispute that point, take it up with the evolutionists, who clearly don't believe their own "fairy tale for grownups" either. By the way, that quote about evolution being a fairy tale is from Paul LeMoine, French evolutionist.

Ann Coulter, in her latest book, "Godless" addresses the subject at length, so I will attempt to cover some of her main points.

1. The truth about the entire fossil record, which shows a very non-Darwinian progression, noticeably lacking the vast number of transitional species we ought to see (if it were true)

This means that there are no fossils of things like a dog with antennae or a fish with hair. According to Darwin's supposed "survival of the fittest", if each one of the incremental mutations is more fit than what preceded it, which it has to be in order to survive, those transitional mutations should have stayed around long enough to appear in the fossil record, before mutating their way to something even better. But sadly, for the evolutionists, there are none.

2. The truth about the Cambrian explosion, in which virtually all the animal phyla suddenly appeared, with no Darwinian ancestors.

The Cambrian period was a relatively short period of time in which a vast quantity of plants and animals appeared on the scene in a blink of an evolutionary eye more than 500 million years ago. In a period of less than 10 million years, there is a sudden explosion of nearly all the animal phyla we have today. Leading Darwinist Richard Dawkins said, "It is as though they were just planted there, without evolutionary history."

3. The truth about the Galapagos Finch population changing not one bit since Darwin first observed them more than 170 years ago.

In a 1991 "Scientific American" article, Darwinist Peter Grant effused about the famous finches saying that if droughts came only once a decade, natural selection "would transform one species into another within 200 years." Well, it's been 170 years and we're still waiting.

4. The truth about the peppered moth experiment.

One of the major triumphs of the evolutionists was the "discovery" that peppered moths had the ability to change color according to their environment. They are photos of white peppered moths resting on black soot covered trees where they can easily be picked off by passing birds, and photos of them on white trees where they blend in, and likewise the black moths against white trees and black trees. The trouble is, Peppered moths are nocturnal (for the Liberals reading this, that means they only come out at night). Furthermore, they rest on the underside of branches, not on the outside of tree trunks. Subsequent studies showed that the moths that were supposed to have proven the "fact of evolution" had been dead, and pinned to the tree trunks by the "scientists" conducting the "study".

The Peppered moth "discovery" is still presented in biology textbooks as proof of evolution.

5. The truth about Haeckel's embryos being a fraud perpetrated by a leading German eugenicist.

Ernst Haeckel was a biologist and eugenicist who drew pictures of vertebrate embryos that purportedly demonstrated the amazing similarity of fish, chickens, and humans in the womb. Thus, proving that all vertebrates evolved from a similar looking organism 500 million years ago.

And then, in the 1990's British embryologist Michael Richardson was looking at vertebrate embryos through a microscope and noticed they look nothing like Haeckel's drawings. As it turns out, Haeckel was a fake. Richardson said, "It looks like it's turning out to be one of the most famous fakes in Biology."

Today, Biology textbooks are still displaying Haeckel's doctored drawings to prove the "fact" of Evolution to impressionable young minds, like commenter Jim's.

6. The truth about the Miller-Urey experiment being based on premises no longer accepted.

This was a famous experiment in 1953, which seemed to re-create the beginnings of life in a test tube. Scientist Stanley Miller and Harold Urey reconstructed what was thought to be earth's early atmosphere. They sent a spark of electricity through the primordial soup, and a single amino acid appeared.

The first problem to arise was that for the next twenty years, scientists couldn't get close to the next step, which was to produce proteins. Simple amino acids aren't proteins, much less life, so the bridge between nonlife and life remained elusive.

But the real fly in the primordial soup arose in the early seventies, when geochemists realized that the Earth's early atmosphere was probably nothing like the gases used in the Miller-Urey experiment. Creation of even simple amino acids would have been impossible in Earth's real environment.

The Miller-Urey experiment is still being taught in biology textbooks as proof of evolution.

7. The truth about the non-existence of computer simulations of the evolution of the eye.

There have long been bald assertions by Darwinists of the existence of a computer simulation of the evolution of the eye. David Berlinski tracked down the scientists alleged to have performed this wondrous feat, and discovered it doesn't exist.

In the end, the only evolutionists' argument is contempt. They know that if people are allowed to hear the arguments against evolution all will be lost. So they go to extreme ends to prevent any other possibilities from being taught in schools. Like Intelligent Design. So they demonize the people making the arguments. They say things like, "You're just saying that because you believe in God! You probably believe in a flat earth, too!" That's the kind of argument they usually revert to.

What all this boils down to is simply this:

Evolutionist are willing to believe anything, assume anything, and even lie to promote their belief that there is no God. They look at things they can't explain and say, "We can't explain it, but the one thing we do know is that there is no intelligence in the universe".

At least, there is no intelligence in evolutionists.
