Evolution is Flawed

Thank you, Maryland_Kid, for your swift reply. My opponent is continuing to grasp at straw man arguments. My opponent's "molecules to man" analogy fails for at least three reasons:1) Evolution is about the development of life as opposed to the actual origin. The study of the origin of life is called abiogenesis - which the origin of life is admittedly still unknown. [1] 2) The "molecules - man" argument fails to recognize that evolution is NOT a ladder of progress. Rather, it is a branching pattern -a "tree" of life, if you will. [2] This concept is seen clearly when we consider the Phylogenetic Tree of Life. Here is a standard picture of it [3]: (Note that "hypothetical" doesn't mean "we guess that it exists," but rather "we infer its existence). 3) It fails to take into account the fact that evolution via heritable changes in a population and speciation has been observed. Remember how we defined "evolution":Evolution is a process that results in heritable changes in a population spread over many generationsSo, my arguments that CMAH Pseudogene and various other traits beenig observed to evolve still stands.I already responded to the "missing links" arguments. Here is a good summary [4]:The fact that some transitional fossils are not preserved does not disprove evolution. Evolutionary biologists do not expect that all transitional forms will be found and realize that many species leave no fossils at all. Lots of organisms don't fossilize well and the environmental conditions for forming good fossils are not that common. So, science actually predicts that for many evolutionary changes there will be gaps in the record. Also, scientists have found many transitional fossils. For example, there are fossils of transitional organisms between modern birds and their theropod dinosaur ancestors, and between whales and their terrestrial mammal ancestors.I already responded in full to the entropy argument. To reiterate The degree of thermodynamic disorder is measured by an entity called "entropy." There is a mathematical correlation between entropy increase and an increase in disorder. The overall entropy of an isolated system can never decrease. However, the entropy of some parts of the system can spontaneously decrease at the expense of an even greater increase of other parts of the system. When heat flows spontaneously from a hot part of a system to a colder part of the system, the entropy of the hot area spontaneously decreases! The ICR chapter states flatly that entropy can never decrease; this is in direct conflict with the most fundamental law of thermodynamics that entropy equals heat flow divided by absolute temperature. [5] Here is a great diagram of how an closed system works: Closed systems are self-contained and do not interact with their surroundings. Energy, Matter, and Information are exchanged and altered only within the system (oval), nothing enters, nothing leaves. Energy, matter, and information can be placed into and taken out of storage, but nothing can leave the "oval" system. An example would be the earth itself in terms of matter. There are lots of interactions taking place within the earth system, but very little matter leaves or enters. [6] And here is a diagram from an open system: Open systems exchange energy, matter, and information with the surrounding world. Energy, matter, and information can enter or leave the "oval" system. While inside the system, they can change form, interact with each other, or go into and out of storage. The earth can be considered as such a system. For example: energy enters the system, interacts with matter on the earth, can be stored as plant tissue, and can leave as the earth radiates heat back out to space. [ibid] The earth is an open system because it works in that exact way as seen here: Please respond to my arguments in the next round or I will consider your arguments as conceded.
