I LOVE THIS QUESTION BECAUSE SO MANY STRUGGLE WITH THIS TOPIC while others use evolution as an excuse to embrace atheism. Actually many biologists recognize and discuss problems with the theory but seldom speak of that in public. First, let’s start with basics. For years, scientists imagined a primordial soup with all the basic ingredients life would need. One professor had a theory that certain amino acids present there would have an affinity for linking up with others to form life. Further research made them toss out that idea. Scientists now understand only DNA can assemble amino acids and fold the proteins correctly. Michael Behe and other intelligent design researchers explain DNA presents a huge barrier to evolution since DNA is a language. If you have ever tried to learn a second language, you know how difficult that can be. For instance, if you studied Russian, you would have to put letters and words in the proper order as well as conjugate the verbs correctly. That’s unlikely to happen by chance.

Imagine a monkey tossing plastic letters into the air. How long would it take to for him to contrive a German dictionary? Random processes cannot form language regardless of the millions of years scientists allow. Second, Darwin predicted the fossil record laid down in the earth’s layers would contain fossils of one-celled animals, transitionary fossils and then complex animals. Lower layers do contain onecelled life forms, however, paleontologists witness an explosion of complicated animals in the Cambrian layer without any transitionary forms. Evolutionists offer no plausible explanation for the lack of fossils demonstrating life forms changing to another. Third, evolution offers no explanation for morality. We all have an inner belief that some actions are good and others bad. Raping a child is evil while caring for an injured person is good. When I was very young, I recall getting glimpses of a TV program on the holocaust. I was horrified. No one had to tell me mass murder was wrong. Yet if mankind evolved, we are accidents of nature and have no intrinsic value. In fact, Hitler and his fellow politicians used the idea of survival of the fittest to excuse their actions. They proclaimed the Jews a lower form of life to be swept away by the superior Aryan race. On the other hand, the Bible teaches a holy God, and His character establishes morals.

Imagine seeing the words, “Betty loves Johnny” IIn summary, the theory of evolution can’t explain etched on a tree. You would not assume insects the origin of DNA, the Cambrian explosion, or our carved that by accident. The letters and words are inborn sense of morality.
