Evolution and Speciation
What is the difference between an hypothesis, a theory and a fact? I have heard that evolution is a fact. Is that true?
- What is the most compelling evidence for molecules-to-man evolution?
- But isn't it true that the real experts, the developmental biologists who know that Haeckel is no fraud, seldom write or edit textbooks, so their voices are seldom heard?
- What about the peppered moths? Don't they illustrate evolution?
- Are there intermediate fossils that bridge the gaps between major forms, and thus support the evolutionary scenario?
- The eye is surely one of the most intricate organs of the body. Yet Richard Dawkins and others have suggested the eye was poorly designed. What do you think?
- How can Creationists maintain that there are no biological examples demonstrating an increase in the information content of a gene?
- Why can't someone who has assembled 1/2 of a jigsaw puzzle, revealing
a partial but obvious picture of mountains and a lake, call it such a picture without having to reveal the other half of the puzzle?
And even if a few pieces are missing or don't fit? The structure of evidence for evolution is far beyond that threshold.
- Richard Dawkins, in his book "The Blind Watchmaker", uses an analogy to illustrate how what he calls "cumulative selection" works. In this illustration he uses a computer to generate a phrase "METHINKS IT IS LIKE A WEASEL" Doesn't this demonstrate that evolution can produce information easily?
- I have heard that cladistic analysis has proved evolution by showing the evolutionary relatedness of organisms. Is this true?
- Are there any examples where speciation has been observed in action?
- If evolution is such a bankrupt idea, why are there still so many scientists and other intellectuals that subscribe to it?
- What do statements made by prominent scientists that "Evolution is a fact" or "Evolution is proven" mean?
- What motivates evolutionists who actively promote evolutionary thinking and rabidly oppose Creation?
- Good scientific theories make predictions that can be tested. Does evolution make predictions that can be tested?
- Can natural selection coupled with random mutation ever account for the variety of living organisms we see on the earth?
