Evolution

I thank my opponet for accepting my argument. Evolution is not a theory evolution is a religion. Evolution can not be proven nor backed up by scientific facts. Now let's start with genes and there complexity. Scientist haven't yet decoded genes, they have however mapped DNA. Now genes are so complex that 550 million years, which is the amount of time earth has existed (according to evolutionists') hasn't even touched the surface of randomness. Lets say for instance the human genome is 300,000,000,000 combinations long that's about 57,000,000 card decks. Now lets say I just need to get 14 of the same suit in order from spades to hearts. Now the chances of that occurring 57,000,000 times is statistically impossible to happen within the time frame of 550 million years. Now scientist say you can date the earth using the method radiometric dating "Radioisotope dating (also referred to as radiometric dating) is the process of estimating the age of rocks from the decay of their radioactive elements. There are certain kinds of atoms in nature that are unstable and spontaneously change (decay) into other kinds of atoms. For example, uranium will radioactively decay through a series of steps until it becomes the stable element lead. Likewise, potassium decays into the element argon. The original element is referred to as the parent element (in these cases uranium and potassium), and the end result is called the daughter element (lead and argon)"(Riddle). Scientists use observational science to measure the amount of a daughter element within a rock sample and to determine the present observable decay rate of the parent element. Dating methods must also rely on another kind of science called historical science. Historical science cannot be observed. Determining the conditions present when a rock first formed can only be studied through historical science. Determining how the environment might have affected a rock also falls under historical science. Neither condition is directly observable. Since radioisotope dating uses both types of science, we can't directly measure the age of something. We can use scientific techniques in the present, combined with assumptions about historical events, to estimate the age. Therefore, there are several assumptions that must be made in radioisotope dating. Three critical assumptions can affect the results during radioisotope dating: 1.The initial conditions of the rock sample are accurately known. 2.The amount of parent or daughter elements in a sample has not been altered by processes other than radioactive decay. 3.The decay rate (or half-life) of the parent isotope has remained constant since the rock was formed. In 1997, a team of eight research scientists known as the RATE group set out to investigate the assumptions commonly made in standard radioisotope dating practices. Their findings were significant and directly impact the evolutionary dates of millions of years. A rock sample from the newly formed 1986 lava dome from Mount St. Helen's was dated using Potassium-Argon dating. The newly formed rock gave ages for the different minerals in it of between 0.5 and 2.8 million years. These dates show that significant argon was present when the rock solidified. So you see this method of dating is not accurate. Then scientist say there is a "missing link". Have we ever found a half mutated organism in fossil form? No of course not, nor have we seen any mutation since humans have had records. Now what is the very definition of mutation? Mutation is an error code within the DNA. there is a 1000-1 chance that mutations are beneficial to an organism. Mutations occur about every 10 million duplications. That's 10^7. For 2 mutations to occur would be 10^14 that's 100 trillion. Now 3 to occur in a row would be 10^21 and four would be 10^28. Now there isn't even that many organisms that exist on earth, and turning a microbe into a human would a lot more than just four mutations. Please, do not get mutations confused with adaptations. The common example would be Africans and Caucasians. Africans being darker can stay out in the sun longer because of the region they have to live in. Now there are minor variations within a species that allows that species to still be part of that species, because an African is still considered human as well as a Caucasian. Different dogs breeds for example a golden retriever and a pit bull, two totally different breed but the same species. The oldest feather is dated 100 million years old and guess what, that feather is still a feather its not a half feather half scale is just a plain feather. Knowledgeable people know that if mutations accrued over time(just like evolutionists say they have) then there would be plenty of finding of half mutated beings or beings in a mutated state. Now lets not forget Neanderthals may have been primitive humans but they are still HUMANS. http://www.answersingenesis.org...
