Some Of The Factors Taken Into Account In Arguments Against Evolution

By Marcia Marks


How the whole universe came into being is still a mystery to many. Many theories have thus come up to try and explain how they were formed and why they are in their current positions. They are known as the theories of evolution, and mostly they are in opposition to the creation story in the bible. According to them, the universe was formed through natural means. However, there are number of arguments against evolution which have be put forward.

Lack of individuals who witnessed evolution as it occurred brings about a point of argument. The theories are just hypotheses and there is no one in history who can be said to be a witness. Even at the present period, it is hard to see evolution as it takes place. They have also failed to show transitional forms on how the process took place. As a matter of fact, flora and fauna need not to be differentiated if what they claim is true.

Various experiments have been carried out on fruit flies to try and see if new species can be produced from them. The fruits in this case are characterized by a rapid rate of reproduction. However, the tests which were meant to come up with a new species through mutation failed, of which it would have been possible if the theories of evolution were true.

There have been arguments against the possibility of meteoritic dust settling on the moon. The dust is known to settle on the earth and moon continuously and would have therefore piled up many feet in the millions of years that are said to have passed. This had even caused a worry during the launch of the first lunar ship to the moon as the astronauts thought it would have sunk many feet into the dust. However, when the sheep landed not more than an inch of the dust is what was found. This therefore resulted to the belief of a young moon and earth.

All heavenly bodies have their own magnetic fields, and so does the earth. That of the earth however keeps on reducing at a constant rate. It therefore means that many years ago its magnetism was very strong, something close to impossible.

Evolutionists believe that there are some electric fields within the earth which give rise to its magnetism. If this is so, then the earth would have dissolved thousands of years ago due to the large amounts of heat produced then. It is therefore difficult to agree with this theory.

Many people have been questioning the geological evidence that has been provided to support evolution. The main question is here is why are there no transitional fossils to show how the current species changed through various forms. This what mainly led to the development of the punctuated equilibria theory. According to it, one species could develop into another, for example mammals being born by birds.

From the research carried out by scientists, the probability of the punctuated equilibria theory is very minimal. Some of these theories have lacked a proper basis and thus the reason for these arguments against evolution. Most people therefore still hold on to the original story in the bible.
