| Intermediary Survival |
Sea
spider builds her home under water but has to have air. It carries
air down to the nest on specialized abdomen and traps air in its nest.
Food is from ocean floor. How did the spider make the transition from
land to sea? At what point did she become able to live under water
- half way? |
| Origin of Species |
Darwin is credited with solving the question
of where the species originated. Mayr - "Darwin never really did discuss
the origin of species in his book 'The Origin of Species.'" Not only
could Darwin not site a single example of a new species originating,
but neither has anyone else in the 140 years since. Patterons - "No
one has ever produced a species by mechanisms of natural selection.
No one has gotten near it ..." |
| How Evolution Works |
No one understands
how it works. Evolutionists 'know' it is true, but can't seem to determine
its mechanism. Thompson - "Evolution is... Troubled from within by
the troubling complexities of genetic and developmental mechanisms
and new questions about the central mystery - speciation itself."
The mystery is not due to lack of effort - thousands of scientists
and hundreds of millions of tax dollars have been spent to try to
find out. |
| Fixity thru Time |
If evolution occurs, we could expect to see
only newly evolved forms alive now, grossly unlike the fossils. Virtually
all current living forms are represented in fossil record and there
are both living and fossils forms by the thousands that appear unchanged.
(cockroach, bats, starfish, bacteria, dragonfly, shark, etc.) |
| Variation |
Many
examples of variation within a kind, but no examples of transformation
to another kind. (Bacterial resistance, Peppered Moth, Whistler Bird,
pure bred dogs, cattle, horses, sugar beets, roses, all sorts of plants.
However, dogs start with dogs and end up with dogs and moths started
with moths and ended with moths.) |
| Adaptation |
There is constant reference
in evolution to adaptation, with the implication that special characteristics
were developed as a resultant of a need to adapt and develop that
special characteristic. Yet there is no suggestion of a mechanism
whereby this change might be mediated. If the need is sufficient to
cause the change, then how does the organism survive until the change
takes place? |
| Survival of the Unfit |
Darwin stated that a single example
of an inferior species surviving by the sacrifice of a more fit species
would negate his theory - Some species of beetles and ants will
break open their own eggs to feed the fungus they grow. Some ants
nurture the insect parasite Lomechusa even to neglect of their own
young. Carpenter Ants will defend Atemeles Beetle larvae in preference
to their own young, the beetle then feeds on the ant larvae. Tetramoria
Ants will rescue and care for a Anergates Queen, then kill their own
queen and raise the Anergate's young, killing their own queen is suicide
for colony. Cuckoo Birds practice parasitism on other birds who go
along with the ruse. Amaxon Ants cannot feed itself nor rear its young,
slave ants do it for them. |
