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.

Among the arguments against the theories of evolution is that of lack of people who saw it happening. Those supporting this statement say that if it were something real, then the process would still be happening even at the present moment. Therefore, there should be a number of transitional forms which can be observed. However, what is seen is a group of differentiated animals and plants.

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.

Meteoritic dust was discovered to be settling on top of the moon and the earth. Since it is a continuous process, it is expected that after a long period of time the dust should have piled up many inches on the surfaces of these bodies. This is also what made the evolutionists to think that the first ship sent on the moon was going to sink. However, what they had thought did not occur as only less than an inch is what was found. It therefore indicates that the moon is still young.

The magnetic field of the earth keeps on reducing at a rapid rate. If this is the case, then eight thousand years ago its magnetism would have been the same with that of a magnetic star. The possibility of this occurrence is highly unlikely.

According to evolutionists, the magnetic fields of the earth are as a result electric fields found within it. If this was the case thousands of years ago, then the earth would not have been in existence today due to the large amounts of heat that would have been generated. It would have therefore been dissolved in the end.

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.

The circumstances under which the theory of punctuated equilibria would have occurred are just too minimal and the probability is even low. This and other evidences make up the arguments against evolution. Most of those arguing against the theories believe in the possibility of creation taking place.
