The Theory of Evolution has intrigued scientists for decades. Ever since Charles Darwin wrote The Origin of Species in 1859, evolution has been a topic of great discussion and debate. For over one hundred years, scientists have argued over whether it is fact or fiction. Although evolutionists would say that there is plenty of proof for the theory, other scientists have found more and more evidence refuting Darwin’s famed idea making it harder for evolutionists to live up to their claims. Because of its lack of evidence, evolution should not be considered a theory. An important aspect of science is observation. Making an observation is the beginning of the scientific method. One of the flaws in the Theory of Evolution is that many of its facets …show more content…

Before anything could evolve, there had to be life. Abiogenesis is a common idea believed by evolutionists. The idea of abiogenesis says that life spontaneously generated from inorganic, nonliving matter. Abiogenesis is something rather hard to believe as it “has never been observed” (Brown) or recorded in history. However, this idea of life coming from nothing is generally accepted by evolutionists who state that it has only occurred once at the beginning of the world. “The Law of Biogenesis states that life only comes from life” (Sherwin), contradicting what many evolutionists believe. Even more proof against spontaneous generation is found in the chemistry of proteins in which the probability of Amino acids forming in the correct order to create proteins necessary to life are practically impossible making abiogenesis extremely hard to believe (Wile and Durnell 151.). Although proof supporting spontaneous generation is limited, evolutionists continue to accept …show more content…

Numerous organisms have homologous or similar structures many scientists consider to be proof of a common ancestor. Be that as it may, Michael Denton in his book, Evolution: A Theory In Crisis, states that “The evolutionary basis of homology is… severely damaged by the discovery that apparently homologous structures are specified by quite different genes in different species” (149). Basically, the genes responsible for these similar structures vastly vary in different organisms. Furthermore, the differences between the functions of different organisms and their specialized structures show that homologous shapes do not prove evolution (Richards,
