This image is the typical cliché of the theory of evolution: Man evolved from a monkey to a cave-man and finally to today’s man: Homo Sapiens Below is a link to a short video introducing Evolution. Before continuing please watch it

Natural SelectionDarwin studied how animals adapted to their environments.The genius of Darwin was to apply the laws of adaptation to explain the apparition of new species.He developed the concept of Natural Selection.

Natural Selection is the process by which random mutations are selected by Nature over tens of thousands of years.

Darwin said that a given species will evolve until it results in a new species.

Darwin developed the idea of common decent. Every existing species are descending from a common unicellular amoeba that evolved into fishes, reptiles, birds, mammals and men during a period of 500 millions years .

Common Descent

Mutations

A mutation is caused by a mistake in the replication in the proteins of the DNA: According to Darwin and modern evolutionists the accumulation of mutations give birth to a new species.

The limits of the Theory of Evolution

1- The total absence of any transitional fossil proving the Theory of Evolution

1- The total absence of fossils proving the Theory of Evolution

According to the Theory of Evolution, each species has evolved from another species over millions of years. There are more than 2 million different species today; there has been millions of millions of intermediaries/transitional beings produced by the Evolution between species. If this theory was true, we should be able to find fossils of plants , fishes , bird or animals that are in an unachieved development.99% of all existing fossils have been discovered after Darwin, but none of them show any transitional state of evolution.

1- The total absence of fossils proving the Theory of Evolution

Evolutionists say: ape A evolved in many different branches, one of thesebranches evolved into ape B. Same for ape B, only one branch evolved into ape C.Ape C evolved into half ape/half human D. Finally Human F came to exist.If the theory of Evolution is true, we should find many fossil bones of intermediary apes/humans(The famous “Missing Link”). But to this day, not even one intermediary fossil has been found.The same for whales: Evolutionists say that a mammal decided to return in the water and evolved over millions of years to become a whale; no intermediary fossil bone has ever been found. The same between any other of the 1.5 million species recorded to this day.

1- The total absence of fossils proving the Theory of Evolution

Evolutionists say that birds evolved from reptiles. When the fossil of the Archaeopteryx was found it was claimed to be a transitional half reptile/half bird . But scientists agree today to say the Archeopteryx was just a bird, an extinct bird.

What about Lucy ?

“Several investigators, including Richard Leakey, have now concluded that two or perhaps three species have been wrongly combined in "Lucy." She was not a human ancestor. At best, she was a form of extinct ape; at worst, she was a mosaic.” From John D. Morris, Ph.D in http://www.icr.org/article/was-lucy-ape-man/(In April 2015, the American Museum of Natural History found out that one of the bones was from a baboon monkey.)

Now most scientists recognize Lucy to be from a species of ape rather than a human intermediary.

Discovered in 1974, the 3.2 million-year-old skeleton was found in an isolated spot in the Afar region of Ethiopia. It was given the name of Lucy and was claimed to be the bones of a transitional half monkey/half human.

- “Johanson seldom reminds us that he found the knee joint—the strongest evidence for upright stance—in a location some two to three kilometers away, and in a layer of rock some 200 feet lower. Clearly, the knee does not belong with the rests.” Oxnard, in his 1987 book, ”Fossils, Teeth and Sex ”

• Neanderthal babies are similar to human beings• “Japanese and European anthropologists recently published a study they conducted on the remains of

Neanderthal children. Neanderthal skeletons resemble those of modern humans but are characterized by larger heads, thicker brow ridges, and heavier bones. The researchers compared reconstructions of a newborn Neanderthal with the skeletons of infant Neanderthals to gauge the growth rate of their heads. They found that “Neanderthal brain size at birth was similar to that in recent Homo sapiens.”

• They also estimated that the growth rate of Neanderthal baby skulls was as slow as, or slower than, those of modern human babies.” by Brian Thomas, M.S quoting the work of Ponce de Leon, M. S. et al. 2008. Neanderthal brain size at birth provides insights into the evolution of human life history. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. 105 (37): 13764-13768

• Several recent DNA analysis of Neanderthal men have shown their DNA to be close to today human’s DNA.• See the following studies:• 1- Vernot, B. and J. M. Akey. Resurrecting Surviving Neandertal Lineages from Modern Human Genomes. Science Express. • Published on sciencemag.org January 29, 2014.• 2- Sankararaman, S. et al. The genomic landscape of Neanderthal ancestry in present-day humans. Nature. Published on • nature.com January 29, 2014.• 3- Prüfer, K. et al. 2014. The complete genome sequence of a Neanderthal from the Altai Mountains. Nature. 505 (7481): 43-49.

• That means Neanderthal men were just Homo Sapiens like you and me. ”Evolutionists can find lots of monkey bones. And they can find lots of human bones. They just can’t find the half-monkey, half-human bones. This presents a huge problem for them because if man has been evolving from monkeys for millions of years, you would expect to find millions of these intermediary half-monkey, half-man bones.” Wired Science, 2011

What about Neanderthal cave-men ?

2- The Theory of Evolution doesn't explain the apparition of life

"Based on probability factors . . any viable DNA strand having over 84 nucleotides cannot be the result of haphazard mutations. At that stage, the probabilities are 1 in 4.80 x 1050 ."Mathematicians agree that any requisite number beyond 1050 has, statistically, a zero probability of occurrence.In fact, single cell bacteria display about 3,000,000 nucleotides, aligned in a very specific sequence. This means that there is no mathematical probability whatever for any known species to have been the product of random mutations.”From I.L. Cohen, Darwin was Wrong (1984), p. 205.

There is no way a living cell can come to exist haphazardly. It’s beyond any mathematical probability.

Mutations are generally harmful

The chromosomes of the fruit-fly are big and it’s easy to induce mutations on them.

For more than 40 years, scientists have tried to alter the DNA of the fruit-flies in order to create a new species.

Theodosius Dobzhansky, a prominent evolutionary biologist, spent 40 years irradiating fruit flies for thousands of generations to artificially induce mutations. What were the results? When asked, he couldn't think of a single mutant that was more viable out in nature. He could only think of several which might be more viable at unusual conditions like very elevated temperatures.But even those are still just fruit flies. Nothing near a new species.

3- Mutations are harmful

Mutations cause to impoverish the DNA. It looses genetic information.“ In order for a species to undergo change in shape and function to such an extent that it becomes an altogether different species, some creative input must be applied to it.”Dr. Sang-Hun Lee, in Unification Thought, 2001

From mouse to bat

Evolutionists say that a mouse started to become a bat.“The stages when the mouse cannot run well anymore and before the bat can fly are disadvantageous times for their existence.(Contradiction in Darwinism).” from Nelson, 1967, 96 According to the laws of natural selection, they cannot survive.

Evolutionists say that a mammal decided to return in the water and evolved into a whale. But when the mammal had legs evolving into fine, it was not good on earth and it was not good in water; according to the laws of natural selection, it cannot survive.

• According to the Theory of Evolution, mutations never stop; they happen continuously, so today species should be continuously evolving. (Including too human beings …)

• However among the 1.5 million species known, existing today, it has never been found even one species in transition or half evolved.

4- Species are stable

In the short movie, it was saying: “Natural Selection is true so evolution is a fact.” It didn’t prove that evolution is a fact, It only proved that adaptation of the species is true. There is a brown mice at the beginning, there is a black mice at the end. But it’s still a mice, not another species. This is an abuse of language: There is no evolution here, only adaptation.

Slide Title

In the movie, it presented these various cabbages as having evolved from a wild common cabbage species. However it’s only an idea, an hypothesis. There is no scientific proof of that.

4- The theory of Evolution doesn't explain the beauty, harmony and diversity of the creation

According to the laws of Natural Selection, there is no reason why there is such a variety of flowers (variety of colors, of smells, of sizes, of shapes). Evolutionists have no plausible explanation about this.

4- The theory of Evolution doesn't explain the beauty, harmony and diversity of the creation

What about the variety of butterflies? Did it happen just at random?

4- The theory of Evolution doesn't explain the beauty, harmony and diversity of the creation

And most amazingly, it seems that only Man happens to be able to enjoy and appreciate this variety. Is it just pure coincidence?

Too good to have happened just randomly, isn’t it?

"Fruit Stall in Barcelona Market" by Daderot.

What about the variety of fruits and the variety of vegetables?

The Theory of Evolution is only a belief

• The theory of Evolution is not based on any scientific observation, but even if many scientists are well aware of the limits of this theory they still hope that one day, Science will prove it to be right.

• It’s faith. The Theory of Evolution is just a belief

• Many scientists realize the limits of the Theory of Evolution but the only alternative they have is the Creation story in 6 days in the Bible which doesn’t satisfy them.

The Creation story in the Bible is challenged by the observation that it took 500 millions years for life to develop from tiny unicellular amoeba until today’s mammals and human beings. This is an observable fact and seems to contradict the creation in 6 days as found in the Bible.• We need a New Theory of Creation that can reconcile our faith and our reason and allow God to be our loving

Creator.
