The Case Against
Evolution
In this
publication we have only briefly discussed some of the mounds of evidence against
the theory of evolution. Many excellent books have been published in recent years
detailing scientific findings and conclusions that compellingly demonstrate the impossibility
of evolution as an explanation for the existence of life on earth. It is helpful
to remember that evolution cannot offer an explanation for the origin of our magnificent
universe; evolution seeks to explain only how life might have begun in a universe
that already existed.
If you would like to dig more deeply into the case against
evolution, we recommend the following books, many written by people with backgrounds
in the physical sciences:
- Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution,
Michael Behe, associate professor of biochemistry, Lehigh University, Pennsylvania,
1996. Demonstrates that the minute building blocks of life-cells and their myriad
components-are far too complex for their codependent parts and processes to have
evolved without an outside, intelligent design at work.
- Mere Creation: Science, Faith & Intelligent Design,
edited by William Dembski, 1998. A collection of academic writings from the fields
of physics, astrophysics, biology, anthropology, biology, mechanical engineering
and mathematics that challenge Darwinism and offer evidence supporting intelligent
design in the universe.
- Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, Michael Denton, senior
research fellow, University of Otago, New Zealand, 1996. Examines features of the
natural world that mutation and natural selection cannot explain and shows the impossibility
of transitional forms required for Darwinist evolution to have taken place.
- Creation and Evolution: Rethinking the Evidence From Science
and the Bible, Alan Hayward, 1985. Written by a British physicist, an insightful
book on the pros and cons of the evolution-vs.-science controversy.
- The Neck of the Giraffe: Where Darwin Went Wrong, Francis
Hitching, 1982. Points out many of the problems in the traditional view of evolution.
- Darwin on Trial, Phillip Johnson, professor of law,
University of California, Berkeley, 1993. Examines scientific detail that argues
convincingly against the theory of evolution.
- Reason in the Balance: The Case Against Naturalism in Science,
Law & Education, Phillip Johnson, 1995. Discusses the cultural implications
of belief in evolution; that is, that the philosophy behind Darwinian evolution has
become in effect the dominant established religion in many societies.
- Defeating Darwinism by Opening Minds, Phillip Johnson,
1997. Written specifically for older students and their parents and teachers to prepare
them for the antireligion bias inherent in most advanced education.
- Objections Sustained: Subversive Essays on Evolution, Law
& Culture, Phillip Johnson, 1998. Compilation of essays ranging from evolution
and culture to law and religion.
- Bones of Contention: A Creationist Assessment of the Human
Fossils, Marvin Lubenow, 1992. Documents the serious problems with the supposed
links between man and apes.
- What Is Creation Science?, Henry Morris and Gary Parker,
1987. Two creation scientists provide a critical examination of the major arguments
used to support evolution.
- Shattering the Myths of Darwinism, Richard Milton,
1997. Mr. Milton, a science journalist and noncreationist, reveals the circular reasoning
Darwinists must rely on for their arguments while discussing data widely acknowledged
in scientific circles.
- Tornado in a Junkyard: The Relentless Myth of Darwinism,
James Perloff, 1999. A self-professed former atheist offers an easy-to-read view
of evidence contradicting Darwinism, including many quotations from evolutionists
and creationists. (The title is taken from a British astronomer's assessment that
the likelihood of higher life forms emerging through random mutation is comparable
to saying a tornado sweeping through a junkyard could build a Boeing 747 airliner.)
- Not by Chance: Shattering the Modern Theory of Evolution,
Lee Spetner, Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998. Dr. Spetner shows
that one of the fundamental premises of neo-Darwinism-that random mutation created
the kinds of variations that allowed macroevolution to take place-is fatally flawed
and could never have happened as Darwinists claim.
Although the publishers of this booklet do not agree with every
conclusion presented in these books, we think they present a persuasive and compelling
case that the theory of evolution is
fundamentally and fatally flawed.
