The odds of evolution being random are tiny.

I used to argue this evolution thing quite a bit. I found out a couple of decades ago that the evolutionists don’t really “know” as much as I thought. I further realized, as this article hints at, that it takes more blind faith to believe in evolution creating life than it does to believe in a creator.

I then realized it was a bit like arguing politics with Nancy Pelosi. i.e. a waste of time.

I don’t really get involved any more, but I like how this article lays most of that out.

If there is no evolution, then why do we share the DNA of all the living creatures on the earth?

Actually, I don’t believe in evolution either, at least not the way the secular humaniss do. I think evolution might be part of it, but it’s like a jigsaw puzzle with so many pieces missing it’s impossible to imagine what the end result will be.

And I’ve also heard that for every favorable combination of amino acids, etc. that would ultimately lead to ‘creation’, there are many times that number that would serve to annihilate that favorable one. So, it’s even more unlikely that life could have been created ‘ex nihilo’; out of nothing.

I’d like to recommend a good movie dealing this topic... On Netflix

“Is Genesis History”

My observation is that the god of atheists & evolutionists is TIME.

Their statement of faith?

“Given enough TIME, everything is possible”

“The probability is very low you say? Well, just give it more TIME...”

Because all those creatures were created by the same entity.

Building blocks for living beings are similar for different creatures.

That doesn’t surprise me at all.

There’s actually a 2nd “god” in their pantheon: CHANCE. TIME and CHANCE are their dual deities.

“The odds of life just happening by chance are zero.”

Whether or not that’s true; it has nothing to do with evolution.

Darwin’s theory concerned the ‘origin of the species’ — i.e. diversification of lifeforms; not the origin of life itself. “Abiogenesis” is one theory on the origin of life itself. Evolution is a theory of how new species form — assuming that a life form already exists.

In all fairness, this is simply incorrect. It seems impossible based on your everyday experiences, but that’s because your everyday experience does not encompass processes that span millions or billions of years. So you have no frame of reference from which to analyze the situation. Just pointing out the logical fallacy.

It’s almost like different lines were created at different times. Certainly, the exquisite artistry of even a mouse is miracle enough to prove the existence of a designer.

Too many think evolve and adapt are the same. There is always a zero point for everything, we just don’t know what it is.

I just saw that last week. Very interesting presentation, to say the least. Very well done.
