Did you know that the odds of the proteins needed to make a strand of DNA lining up naturally are only once every 4x10022 years (Werner 104 )? It's highly unlikely! Darwin did not foresee that future discoveries would disprove the fundamental principles of his theory of evolution. Modern science is repeatedly uncovering evidence suggesting that Darwinian evolution could not be the explanation for life on earth. The theory of evolution, proposed by Darwin, has been increasingly debunked due to its reliance on an implausible claim of spontaneous generation, gaps in the fossil record for which evolution lacks explanations, and contradictory scientific discoveries that overturn the concepts that evolutionists relied on. Spontaneous generation refers to the theory that life evolved rapidly from nothing. Mounting evidence makes the case for spontaneous generation untenable. No biological phyla (a level of classification of organisms) has yet been discovered to support Darwin's theory. Even more damning is the fact that Darwin understood taxonomy (the classification of living organisms), but refused to acknowledge or explain the shortcomings of his theory. For example, spontaneous generation, a necessary assumption in Darwin's theory, cannot explain how proteins are formed. Evolutionists suggest that both proteins and DNA were involved in the first living organism. However, proteins cannot form naturally, but are necessary for DNA. This raises the “chicken and egg question”: what came first? Evolutionists fail to explain this, providing no justification for how proteins and DNA could have been involved in spontaneous generation. Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, would have to form naturally to allow p...... middle of paper ......Christians should believe Wheaton: Crossway, 2010, 79-108.Jenkins, Kathleen E "Genetics and Faith: Religious Enchantment through Creative Engagement with Molecular Biology" Opposing Views Academic Journal.
