Was Hitler converted by Darwin, Is Evolution Wrong; same tired old nonsense.

Marshal and I bring you another "Where the Evidence Leads"podcast.




This Month we interview Don Exodus from YouTube, about David Klinghoffer and the article in the  "Huff" Huffington Post, about , of course, Darwin and Hitler and how Hitler was a quire boy until he read Origin of Species. I contend that the Huff is a online rag and Marshal contends that it's not, don't tell him I think he probably is right I rarely ever read it. We go on to discuss another website and more tired old arguments against evolution. marshal boiled down the long list to just a few we discuss them on the show and I will take them apart one at a time in future posts.

1.    Mutations only remove information rather than add information.

2.    Mutations are always negative and would never make the recipient of

said mutation more likely to procreate.

3.    Mutations are too rare to have any real impact upon a species.

4.    Most organs and biological features are far to complex to be the

result of random mutations. (Irreducible complicity).

5.    The Cambrian Explosion itself disproves the notion that life

evolves slowly. In the span of 20 million years we witnessed the

development of most complex life forms; where prior all life as simple

single celled life.

6.    No single mutation could possibly give a species any discernible

advantage.

7.    Punctuated equilibrium has been demonstrated to be impossible.

8.    DNA or RNA could never randomly come into existence. Life could

never have formed without a designer. (note: not related to evolution a

common tactic)

9.    The second law of thermo dynamics means that life is impossible.

(my note: Obviously not true because were it life would be impossible

on earth whether creationism or evolution were true).

10.    The sun is not enough to overcome entropy. “Raw energy from the

sun, if not for the ability of living things to convert it to useful

energy such as sugars, proteins etc. would be a destroyer of life.  In

many of the scenarios of primitive life the UV radiation is looked as

the driver of the mutations need for evolution, but it conversely

would destroy the organism as well if not protected.  In fact the

mutation rate being very slow and the energy being very fast the

destruction would be very many times faster than the creation. Raw

energy from the sun, cannot create the specified complexity needed for

life.  It can only cause complexity to be lost in mutations.  In the

labs scientists use sophisticated equipment to polymerize proteins in

the right way.  If sunlight were to enter this process it would

destroy the proteins.” ( from http://www.evanwiggs.com) (note: sounds

like his conclusions are mere assertions to me).

11.    The Big Bang is false. (note: not related to evolution).

12.    “The fossil record does not show an increasing complexity.

Evolutionist Dan McShea of the University of Michigan had approached

this question in a detailed study of the backbones of creatures that

evolutionists believe represent ancestor – descendant pairs. He wanted

to see if the ‘descendant’ was more complex than the ‘ancestor’ on the

average for each case.  What he found was no trend at all.  Other

scientists studied the shells of ammonoids, a spiral shelled creature,

to see if apparently related types got more complex higher in the rock

strata and found there was absolutely no trend.  Creationists would

expect this result of these studies.  McShea said: “Everybody knows

that organisms get more complex as they evolve.  The only trouble with

what everyone knows is that there is no evidence it’s true”

(http://www.evanwiggs.com/) (note: this argument contradicts the claims

about the Cambrian Explosion about the rate at which life simple to

complex.)

13.    Where are the transitional fossils?

14.    The theories regaurding Bird evolution are fabrications.

•    Archaeopteryx, which has been shown as a fully formed bird has been

dated as evolving before many of the dinosaurs with allegedly

primitive feathers.

•    The Archaeoraptor hoax from China in 1999 caused a cloud of “faked

fossil’ that hangs over everything coming out of China. (note: a

single incident of fraud completely discredits all subsequent claims?

Wonder if he would apply this same standard to Christianity?)

•    Scale cells could never have evolved into feather cells.
