Biology
How
could wings have evolved? Or an eye?
Until
complete, any of these improvements (and many others) would have been
a tremendous handicap, not an advantage. A land animal which began to
lose a pair of legs and evolve wings would have been eaten by an animal
with four good legs.
How
could DNA have replicated without the enzymes which it controls?
DNA
can only be reproduced with the help of certain enzymes which can only
be produced by DNA which had to be produced by enzymes . . .
Why
would DNA evolve when its purpose is the keep just that from happening?
The
basic function of DNA is to pass on a very complex and exact code or
plan for development for the next generation.
Why
did some animals not evolve?
Evolutionists
state that some animals (like the duck billed platypus) have remained
unchanged for millions of years. Why were these animals left out of
the almost universal improvements that nature had "planned"?
Why
can we classify animals?
Assuming
that all animals evolved from a single cell, there should be no distinction
between kinds. This would result in one branch rather than the tree
of animals which zoologists have been able to classify.
Why
are the missing links still missing?
From
vertebrates to invertebrates, reptiles to birds there should be billions
of animals. The transition from legs to wings alone should have included
a countless number of animals, yet none can be found.
Why
do insects and plants simply start with all their kinds?
They
should have evolved from less complex creatures.
Why
are there no animals in the salt flats?
The
salt flats were probably caused by evaporation of a large salty lake,
yet there are no fossils of the animals that lived there.
Why
couldn't all of those animals in a fossil column be put there at once
- they all live together now?
Why
are there breaks between ages in a fossil column?
No
actual column is in one place. The largest sample is in the Grand Canyon,
which is only 1 mile. The entire column should be about 100 miles thick.
Where
are all of the people who have died?
Assuming
a population growth of only 1/2% (1/4 the present rate) the current
population can be reached in only 4,000 years. If one assumes a growth
rate slow enough to account for the current population in 1 million
years, there would have been 3,000 billion human bodies.
What
held the first cell's stuff (DNA, RNA, etc) together - a cell wall?
Without
a cell wall of some kind, the delicately formed cell parts would have
simply drifted apart, never to form life. A cell well speaks of fundamental
building blocks far more complex than simply the parts alone.
Why
did dinosaurs become extinct?
How
were mammoths frozen alive?
Mammoths
have been found frozen with flowers in their stomachs, indicating a
very rapid climate change.
Why
does almost every mountain range have fossils of sea animals?
Why
are there still monkeys?
Why
can't we make anything but a fruit fly from a fruit fly?
Why
have so many animals stayed the same all over the world?
How
did the first cell, formed from all this tremendous chemical magic,
live in its hostile environment long enough to reproduce?
How
does natural selection produce increasingly complex creatures in light
of genetic depletion?
For
natural selection to occur, some detrimental trait must be lost. The
gene which carried that trait is therefore no longer, and the resultant
offspring has fewer genes than its parent.
Why
do all living creatures reproduce after their kind?
Evolution
relies on the fact that all of the kinds came into being by not reproducing
after their kind.
Why
in the past did mutations seem to be beneficial, while in the present
most mutations are harmful?
Mutations
must obey the second law of thermodynamics. Most ancestors were larger
than their descendants (saber tooth tiger, mammoth, . . .).
How
long would it take a beneficial mutation to change an entire population?
