Theory of Evolution

Theory of Evolution Proven?

There is no demonstrable evidence for the big bang, and chemical evolution has failed to create living systems in the laboratory. In spite of billions of fossils being found, there are no unquestionable fossils that show a transition between any of the major life-forms.

The Basic Assumptions of Evolution

There are assumptions built into the fundamental principles of the doctrine of evolution but, unfortunately, they very seldom if ever appear explicitly in evolutionary writings.

Evolution and Science

Some evolutionists have argued that science isn’t possible without evolution. They teach that science and technology actually require the principles of molecules-to-man evolution in order to work. Actually, evolution is anti-science and anti-knowledge.

The National Center for Science Education

The NCSE praises Bill Nye’s stand on the necessity of accepting evolution in order to make technological and economic progress and even to be scientifically literate. However, evolutionary dogma does not contribute to the “here-and-now” science used to probe the secrets of the present and to develop new technologies.

Theory of Evolution Topics

Evidence of Evolution

Evolution is often presented as a fact proven by science. If this is true, there should be mountains of evidence supporting evolution—but is there?

Evolution in Schools

Instead of being an open platform where students can critically discuss the merits and flaws of a scientific model, education is overcome by evolutionary dogma.

Evolution Quotes

Evolutionists have made some pretty incredible admissions about the nature of evolution, science, and evidence that actually supports the biblical account.

Evolution Timeline

The timeline of evolution, far from being set in stone, is constantly adjusting to new fossils found millions of years before their evolutionary time.

Millions of Years

The evolutionary timeline of millions of years is not compatible with the Bible or with the scientific evidence.

Molecular Clock

Do studies that use mutation rates to calibrate a “molecular clock” confirm or deny the evolutionary model? Are the assumptions in such calibrations correct?
