Creation (Pro) vs Evolution (Con)

Refutation of Creationism My opponent's entire argument for creationism basically hinges on the Scriptures. However, he has not presented a single piece of scientific or conclusive evidence to support his position. The majority of his argument focused on trying to explain away evolution instead of describing and defending his own position. Now, aside from a complete lack of evidence, creationism also struggles to account for the expansion of the universe, vestigial structures, and the fact that there are no modern-day species found in the lower layers of the Earth's strata. First off, there is no reason to believe that God would have created the universe to be in a constant rate of expansion. This is never referred to in the Bible and thus there is no proof or evidence to even speculate that He did such a thing (considering that all of my opponent's arguments are derived from the Bible). Yet we know for a fact that the universe is rapidly expanding. [1] Second, there are multiple vestigial structures in the human body. The primary one, however, is the appendix. [2] It has little or no apparent function, even after hundreds of years of being studied. In homologous structures found within other species, the similar organ plays a much larger role and is, in fact, larger in size. Even monkeys have a similar organ which serves to assist with digestion. It is larger than its human counterpart as well. Because of this, scientists believe that the human appendix has been deemed "unnecessary" by the evolutionary algorithm. Therefore, the organ is slowly being weaned out of humans over time. Third, there has never been a complex life form found in the lower strata of the Earth. This is due to the evolutionary process of natural selection and speciation over the course of millions or billions of years. If creationism was true, there would be more complex life found in the lowest strata of the Earth. I will provide a source next round, I apologize. My opponent also claims that the Bible gives a description of how and why different species do not interbreed. However, he provided no source for this and I could not find it explicitly stated in the Scripture. Defending Evolution Also, if there is a constant reduction in the complexity of organisms, then why do bacteria develop a resistance to drugs? Certainly this is an obvious example of an increase in complexity. According to my opponent's theory, wouldn't the bacteria maintain their weakness to drugs and treatments? The progression of complexity in genes occurs over such a long amount of time that it is virtually impossible for us to see the changes in action. There is no possible way that we could observe the advancement of species from one organism to the next in the form of speciation. It took hundreds of millions of years just for basic life to evolve into multi-cellular life forms. Conclusion There truly is no reason to believe in creationism due to its complete and total lack of evidence. Science offers explanations for the origin and progression of species. It requires no added complexity of an external being or Creator. 1-http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov... 2-http://www.talkorigins.org...
