Evolution theory can't stand up to basic facts
Recently, several letters have tried to indicate that the theory of evolution is fact. That is not so and, in fact, it is becoming more discredited. Darwin's book was written in 1859 and since that time there have been no discoveries made to substantiate the theory. However, there have been scientific conclusions leading to debunking the theory. Over 100 scientists have indicated their doubts about evolution (see
www.discovery.org) declaring that they "are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life." Darwin himself lamented, "When we descend to details, we can prove that no one species has changed." Then why do so many of his followers contend otherwise?
In "Evolution: A Theory in Crisis" it was noted, "... nor is there the slightest empirical hint of an evolutionary sequence among all the diverse cells on earth". Kenneth Hsu wrote in the "Journal of Sedimentary Petrology," "Darwinism contains 'wicked lies'; it is not a 'natural law' formulated on the basis of factual evidence but a dogma, reflecting the dominating social philosophy of the last century." Swedish biologist Soren Lovtrup said, "I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science." Sir John William Dawson, who served as president of McGill University, said, "This evolutionist doctrine is itself one of the strangest phenomena of humanity ... a system destitute of any shadow of proof, and supported merely by vague analogies and figures of speech ... now no one pretends that they rest on facts actually observed, for no one has ever observed the production of even one species ..." Paul Lemoine, past president of the Geological Society of France and director of the Natural History Museum in Paris, wrote, "The Theory of evolution is impossible. A base, in spite of appearances, no one any longer believes in it ..." Dr. T.N. Tahmisian of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission said, "Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con-men and the story they are telling may be one of the greatest hoax ever. In explaining evolution, we do not have one iota of fact."
The facts we do have indicate that there must be intelligent design behind this earth and everything that is on it and the theory of evolution should be ignored and discarded.
