[Video Summary - "Evolution - Fact or Belief?"]
What do some scientists, who are experts in their field of research, think of evolution?
(1) LIFE ONLY COMES FROM LIFE, NOT NON-LIFE.
(Announcer - Peter Wilders)
- Spontaneous generation was disproved by the scientific method despite scientists objections
- Viking Lander I & II showed that there isn't life on Mars
- There is no concrete proof that life evolved
(2) THE FOSSILS DO NOT PROVE EVOLUTION
(Interviewed Scientist - Dr Roberto Fondi - Palaeontologist)
- Many eminent scientists don't believe that evolution occurred
- Life beginning with single cells hasn't been proved
- All groups appear suddenly without ancestors
- Possible transition fossils are rare and questionable. They should be abundant
- Real fossil transitions do not exist
- The evolution of humans from Australopithecus should not be accepted
(3) MOLECULAR BIOLOGY DOES NOT PROVE EVOLUTION
(Interviewed Scientist - Dr Guiseppe Sermonti - Microbiologist/Geneticist)
- Mutation & natural selection have not been shown to cause evolution
- Present organisms are assumed to has come from similar extinct creatures
- Organisms have always been complex
- A single cell is already complex (eg bacteria)
- Biochemical evolution has never taken place
- No evidence that humans evolved from primitive animals
(4) GEOLOGY DOES NOT SUPPORT EVOLUTION
(Interviewed Scientist - Guy Berthault - Sedimentologist)
- Fossil trees 12m tall are found vertical in layers of rock
- Underwater sediment can form in thick banks
- Parts of banks are the same age
- Mount St Helens formed 200m of sediment in a few hours
- Mount St Helens formed a canyon 60m wide & 30m deep
- Sedimentary rocks don't take millions of years to form
- Joints represent drying cracks, not new deposits
- Sediment only hardens 300m below the sea bed
- Strata do not give an indication of rock age
- Strata can't be used to date rocks or fossils
(5) RADIOMETRIC DATING DOES NOT ACCURATELY DATE ROCKS
(Interviewed Scientist - Dr Edward Bourdreaux - Physical Organic Chemist)
- Rocks & stone fossils don't contain Carbon-14
- Uranium dating is only theoretical as it is based on 3 assumptions
- Radio-dating by other elements is no more reliable
- Radio-dates of rocks from modern volcanoes are totally inaccurate
- Moon dust thickness does not agree with the radio-dated age of moon rocks
- Big Bang is an evolutionary hypothesis
(6) GENETICS DOES NOT SUPPORT EVOLUTION
(Interviewed Scientist - Dr Maciej Giertych - Geneticist)
- Evolution's 'evidence' is not supported by science
- The belief in mutations and natural selection causes scientists to image evolution
- No beneficial mutations have been observed
- The variety within a species comes from the mixing of genes during reproduction
- Changes come from the selection of genes, not the formation of new genes
- Evolution can only be proved by the formation of new genes
- Genetic information requires an intelligence, not random chance
- Molecular biology shows that DNA must have been in existence from the beginning
The Overall Conclusions
(1) Evolution is a philosophy, not a science
(2) Evolution is not even an acceptable hypothesis
(3) Life could be measured in thousands of years, if evolution is ignored
(4) Evolution is a fairytale for adults
The Logical Consequence
If the theory of evolution is ignored, and the scientific facts are considered, life could be measured in thousands of years. |
