| Charlie's 5 Outrageous Statements |
There are at least five common misconceptions about
evolution that I try to correct when I work in a secular context. I call them
my Five Outrageous Statements:
1) The earth is young not old. Virtually all the chemical and physical
processes on the planet give an Earth age less than 100,000 years and most
indicate less than 20,000 years. Only radiological processes which are built on
unverifiable, precarious assumptions give ages of millions or billions of
years.
2) Evolution is not science. Science must be:
Demonstrable, In the Present,
Falsifiable, and Specific. Evolution is none of these!!
3) Life from non-life is impossible. The chemical and biological processes
needed to form living plants and animals from non-living chemical soup is a
logical and numerical impossibility. There are not enough electrons in the
known universe, to count the odds.
4) There are no transitions between kinds of living things. Examples of Missing
Transitions: One cell to the Cambrian Explosion of Life. Cold Blooded to Warm
Blooded. Reptile's Scale to Bird's Feather. Land Mammals to Sea Mammals.
Other Problems Include: Living Fossils, i.e. Coelacanth. Biological
Classification Methods. Millions of generations of fruit flies that are still
fruit flies.
5) The missing ape-men links are still missing. All fossils of hominid
evolution older than 50 years are no longer missing links. Java Man,
Neanderthal, Piltdown Man, Nebraska Man , were all fakes, frauds or
misinterpretations. Lucy will soon die as will Skull 1470 and all others since
there is no link between apes and men. Questions or comments?
