Evolution vs Young Earth Creationism

Biased SourcesAll of Pro's sources are biased towards evolution; therefore, they are not reliable. Do you see what I mean? Here's a comical meme explaining that just because you disagree with a source, doesn't mean it's not a reliable one. Now that we got that over with, let's start the real debate. :-)Transitionary FossilsIf your argument on transitionary fossils is indeed true, then how is it that dragonflies, snails, clams, and other animals appear suddenly in the fossil record without any transitions? [1] This itself is evidence for why fossils do not show transitional forms, but rather they show stasis. In fact, Mark Ridley, a well-known evolutionist professor of zoology at Oxford University, had the following to say about evolutionists using transitionary fossils in favor of evolutionism: "In any case, no real evolutionist, whether gradualist or punctuationist, uses the fossil record as evidence in favour of the theory of evolution as opposed to special creation." [2] Not to mention, Richard Dawkins one of the most vocal proponents for Evolution was Mark Ridley's doctoral adviser. [3] Richard Dawkins, a vocal proponent for evolution, is pictured above.Millions of YearsFirst of all, I would like to state that I do not believe that radiometric dating is innacurate. What I believe, as well as the Creationist scientific community, is that the way secularists interpret the data is incorrect. [4] Radiometric dating cannot accurately measure the age of rocks because it is based on assumptions which may or may not be factual. For instance, using the uranium lead method assumptions are made that the rock being dated had no lead content to begin with and that no lead was added or removed from the rock. Given that lead compounds are soluble in water this last assumption is something we cannot be definite on. Organisms Arranged in Chronological OrderIt is only fact that there is order in the fossils. However, this is what is expected by Creationists. [5] When we look at the order of fossils, we find marine invertebrate fossils placed lowest and when we look higher we find birds and mammals. The Bible states that the Great Flood began in the ocean basins; it states the fountains of the great deep broke open. This means the ocean floor was ripped apart, this would have generated massive tidal waves and tsunamis that would move towards the continents. The tsunamis and large tidal waves would have ripped up the sediments on the floor, and picked up the marine organisms; therefore, depositing them on the continents. After the water takes time to rise, the other animals will be buried as well in chronological order. The lowest being the marine organisms, and the highest being the birds and mammals. Continental DriftAs I have already mentioned this in my first argument, I will use elements from it in my rebuttal. First, as I stated in my original argument, 'The Little Grand Canyon' was created in under ten hours from a minor eruption near Mt. Saint Helens' summit. [6] This is evidence that if a much larger catastrophe, such as the great flood and the seismic activity associated with the flood, happened it could potentially move continents rapidly. It is not the water that causes the continents to shift, rather it is the seismic activity associated with the flood, (the fountains of water from underground) that caused Pangaea to split. Natural SelectionI do not deny that natural selection is happening, and am happy to use the term, as with most Creationists. [7] In fact, natural selection itself has nothing to do with evolution. It is an unavoidable part of the development of species within baramins (created kinds). What Creationists believe is vartiations (developments) within Biblical kinds (micro-evolution), we do not however believe in kind-to-kind evolution (macro-evolution). Size of Noah's ArkI would like to begin by saying that Pro clearly does not understand where Creationists stand. Creationists do not believe that every single living species today was present during the times of Noah and boarded the Ark, rather we believe every single Biblical kind boarded the ark. StarlightDuring the days of Creation, God created the stars supernaturally, as stated in the Bible; therefore, according to the Bible the stars did not come by means of a natural process. When we look at other factors in our solar system, including other solar systems, we see our decaying magnetic field and disintegrating comets. [8] This alone is evidence for a young Earth and Universe because of the fact that these could not last billions of years.
