Questions
for Evolutionists
The test of any theory is whether or not it provides answers to basic
questions. Some well-meaning but misguided people think evolution is a
reasonable theory to explain man’s questions about the universe.
Evolution is not a good theory—it is just a pagan religion masquerading as
science. The following questions were distributed to the 750-plus people
who attended my debate at Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota, on
January 9, 1993. (The videotaped debate is #6,
$9.95.) Questions added since the debate remarked with an
asterisk (*).
1.
Where did the space for the universe come from?
2.
Where
did matter come from?
3.
Where
did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?
4.
How did
matter get so perfectly organized?
5.
Where
did the energy come from to do all the organizing?
6.
When,
where, why, and how did life come from non-living matter?
7.
When,
where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?
8.
With
what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?
9.
Why
would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kindsince this would
only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the
individual have a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)
10.
How can
mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties?
(Recombining English letters will never produce Chinese books.)
11.
Is it
possible that similarities in design between different animals prove a common
Creator instead of a common ancestor?
12.
Natural
selection only works with the genetic information available and tends only to
keep a species stable. How would you explain the increasing complexity in the
genetic code that must have occurred if evolution were true?
13.
When,
where, why, and how did:
o
Single-celled
plants become multi-celled? (Where are the two and three-celled intermediates?)
o
Single-celled
animals evolve?
o
Fish
change to amphibians?
o
Amphibians
change to reptiles?
o
Reptiles
change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes,reproductive organs, heart, method of
locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!)
How did the intermediate forms live?
14.
When,
where, why, how, and from what did:
o
Whales evolve?
o
Sea horses evolve?
o
bats evolve?
o
Eyes evolve?
o
Ears evolve?
o
Hair, skin, feathers, scales, nails, claws, etc., evolve?
15.
Which
evolved first how, and how long, did it work without the others)?
o
The
digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find
and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body’s resistance to its own
digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)?
o
The
drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce?
o
The
lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of
gases to be breathed into the lungs?
o
DNA or
RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts?
o
The
termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose?
o
The
plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants?
o
The
bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move the bones?
o
The
nervous system, repair system, or hormone system?
o
The
immune system or the need for it?
16.
There
are many thousands of examples of symbiosis that defy an evolutionary explanation.
Why must we teach students that evolution is the only explanation for these
relationships?
17.
How
would evolution explain mimicry? Did the plants and animals develop mimicry by
chance, by their intelligent choice, or by design?
18.
When,
where, why, and how did man evolve feelings? Love, mercy, guilt, etc. would
never evolve in the theory of evolution.
19.
*How
did photosynthesis evolve?
20.
*How
did thought evolve?
21.
*How
did flowering plants evolve, and from that?
22.
*What
kind of evolutionist are you? Why are you not one of the other eight or ten
kinds?
23.
What
would you have said fifty years ago if I told you I had a living coelacanth in
my aquarium?
24.
*Is
there one clear prediction of macroevolution that has proved true?
25.
*What
is so scientific about the idea of hydrogen as becoming human?
26.
*Do you
honestly believe that everything came from nothing?
After you have answered the preceding questions, please look carefully at
your answers and thoughtfully consider the following questions.
1.
Are you sure your answers are reasonable, right, and
scientifically provable, or do you just believe that it may have happened the
way you have answered? (Do these answers reflect your religion or your
science?)
2.
Do your
answers show more or less faith than the person who says, "God must have
designed it"?
3.
Is it
possible that an unseen Creator designed this universe? If God is excluded at
the beginning of the discussion by your definition of science, how could it be
shown that He did create the universe if He did?
4.
Is it
wise and fair to present the theory of evolution to students as fact?
5.
What is
the end result of a belief in evolution (lifestyle, society, attitude about
others, eternal destiny, etc.)?
6.
Do
people accept evolution because of the following factors?
o
It is
all they have been taught.
o
They
like the freedom from God (no moral absolutes, etc.).
o
They
are bound to support the theory for fear of losing their job or status or grade
point average.
o
They
are too proud to admit they are wrong.
o
Evolution
is the only philosophy that can be used to justify their political agenda.
7.
Should
we continue to use outdated, disproved, questionable, or inconclusive evidences
to support the theory of evolution because we don’t have a suitable substitute
(Piltdown man, recapitulation, archaeopteryx, Lucy, Java man, Neanderthal man,
horse evolution, vestigial organs, etc.)?
8.
Should
parents be allowed to require that evolution not be taught as fact in their
school system unless equal time is given to other theories of origins (like
divine creation)?
9.
What
are you risking if you are wrong? As one of my debate opponents said,
"Either there is a God or there is not. Both possibilities are
frightening."
10.
Why are
many evolutionists afraid of the idea of creationism being presented in public
schools? If we are not supposed to teach religion in schools, then why
not get evolution out of the textbooks? It is just a religious worldview.
11.
Aren’t
you tired of faith in a system that cannot be true? Wouldn’t it be great
to know the God who made you, and to accept His love and forgiveness?
12.
Would
you be interested, if I showed you from the Bible, how to have your sins
forgiven and how to know for sure that you are going to Heaven? If so,
call me.
