The theory of evolution is seriously flawed

This year marks 200th year of the birth of Charles Darwin. There are many commemorations right now going on around the world. More than 150 years since the publication of his revolutionary thesis, "the origin of species", the whole world almost entirely accept his theory of "evolution through natural selection" as a matter of fact. Even the Vatican accepts Darwin's theory of evolution.

But if you carefully study the theory of evolution, and are intellectually honest, you will come to the conclusion, as I did, that the theory is seriously flawed.

Natural selection has supplanted God as explain-it-all. Whatever we cannot explain in biology, we attribute that to the result of natural selection. For example, why do dogs have extremely sensitive olfactory function (sense of smell)? Oh, it is the result of natural selection. Because this trait gives dogs survival advantage in nature. But why human did not attain such a trait? Or why not every animal attain such a trait, if this trait confers survival advantage?

Before Darwin, God was the ultimate answer to every question. After Darwin, natural selection gradually took the place of God.

I plea, for the sake of science, we have to break the shackle of the "natural selection" dogma. Let's probe deeper. Let's not be hindered by any presumed dogma. Let's be honest with our intellect and reason. The theory of evolution in its current form is completely erroneous.

Yes, I am a Christian, and I believe in God. But that is not the reason I question evolution. I used to be a complete atheist, growing up in an atheist country. In my first year in college, I took Biology 101. Towards to the final part of the course, the topic was evolution. I had a huge debate with my classmates, which lasted to the wee hours of the morning. And the next day we would have a final test for the class. I would rather fail the test than accept a flawed (stupid, as I called it at the time) theory.

I wasn't a Christian at that time. I never heard about God. But I was honest to myself, and to reason.

Natural selection simply cannot explain the diversity of species. In order for the nature to select certain traits, you have to have the traits to begin with. But aren't we trying to explain the ORIGIN of these traits? How can natural selection PRODUCE so many different traits? Later evolution theorists postulated that random mutations somehow happen to produce many features. Then the force of natural selection would only allow those desirable traits to survive.

But that is inconsistent with the fact. Let me give you a simple example: evolution theorists believe that amphibians were evolved from fish, because nature favors animals that can both live in water and on land. If that is true, then we would see only amphibians, no fish now, because nature has selected out fish in favor of amphibians. You have to have this selection pressure in order for species to evolve, right? If there weren't "negative natural selection" pressure on fish, how can fish evolve into amphibian when fish was perfectly fine being just fish?

Let's assume for a moment that random mutations actually were lucky enough to produce certain traits. But we are talking about extremely lucky. Let's consider the trait of vision for a moment. This trait is the result of coordinated work of multiple tissue functions: the eyeball (the "lens"), the muscles that adjust the "lens", the iris that regulates the input of light, and the nerve cells that transmit light signal to brain, and the brain cells that interpret the signal, and many many more. In order for such a complex trait to evolve out of nowhere, you have to have coordinated random mutations involving multiple tissue cells, and in a series of steps, to finally and luckily result in perfect vision. What a miracle! It is like you put a heap of metal fragments together, and suddenly there is a hurricane, and after the hurricane, alas, a new Boeing 747 was right there! Yes, this could happen, mathematically possible. But it may be easier to believe in God.

Archeological evidence does not support evolution, either. Species tend to spring out from no where in very short periods of time, and then you do not see emergence of any new species for a long long period of time. It seems that the emergence of new species occurred sporadically within very short periods. Darwin theory would have predicted gradual evolution of species, which means we should see emergence of new species all the time. But the fact is different from what Darwinism predicts. Later evolution theorists noticed this glaring contradiction. Some of them proposed a modified theory called "punctuated equilibrium". How punctuated was the process of evolution? Maybe six periods, like the six days in the book of Genesis?

It takes more faith to believe evolution than to believe God!
