Questions for Evolutionists
Questions for Evolutionists
by Dr. Kent Hovind
The test of any theory is whether or not it provides answers to basic questions. Some well-meaning but misguided people think evolution is a reasonable theory to explain man’s questions about the universe. Evolution is not a good theory—it is just a pagan religion masquerading as science.
1. Where did the space for the universe come from?
2. Where did matter come from?
3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?
4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?
5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?
6. When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?
7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?
8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?
9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)
10. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce Chinese books.)
11. Is it possible that similarities in design between different animals prove a common Creator instead of a common ancestor?
12. Natural selection only works with the genetic information available and tends only to keep a species stable. How would you explain the increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occurred if evolution were true?
13. When, where, why, and how did: a) Single-celled plants become multicelled? (Where are the two- and three celled intermediates?) b) Single-celled animals evolve? c) Fish change to amphibians? d) Amphibians change to reptiles? e) Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes, reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!) How did the intermediate forms live?
14. When, where, why, how, and from what did: a) Whales evolve? b) Sea horses evolve? c) Bats evolve? d) Eyes evolve? e) Ears evolve? f) Hair, skin, feathers, scales, nails, claws, etc., evolve?
15. Which evolved first (how, and how long, did it work without the others)? a) The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body’s resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)? b) The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce? c) The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs? d) DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts? e) The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose? f) The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants? g) The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move the bones? h) The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system? i) The immune system or the need for it?

The ULTIMATE Question
Think of nothing. Can you even imagine what nothing is?
Can something come from nothing?
Doesn't it take more faith to think that something came from nothing, than to believe that something was created? Anyone that does not believe there is a God is running on extreme faith because when you look at the universe and all of its intricacies, design, laws, and order - there is absolutely NO chance that it could have created itself.
No human has ever come close to explaining this and they never will be able to explain it without God (or at least some form of Intelligent design). The really sad part is that people actually think it is possible that something can come from nothing, because a few of the scientists have said so. The question is whether these scientists are speaking fact or fiction. Is what they say the truth?
Darwin discovered that species can change over time. That is all he did. He was not a genius, he was not any more special than you or me, he simply figured out a small part of the ultimate design that is the Universe. Since his time, people have formed a religion out of his idea of Evolution, now claiming that because evolution exists, there is no need for God. In no way if this logical, reasonable, or intelligent thought.
Another problem we have is time. People think that time can make the impossible possible. This idea is evidence of the complete ignorance and blindness of our culture. If you believe that time itself can make a red coke can blue, it shows that you are not aware of the reality that a coke can that is red will always remain red unless it is changed. If you believe there is no God you believe that the universe began with one single source - such as an element. But where did that element (or original source) come from?
Even so, one element alone cannot create an entire universe. In order for all of these to exists, there has to be something to change the purpose of all of these random elements coming together to create life. This is the only way different animals can occur, different plants, and different minerals... that one original source had to either be changed or change itself into something that could ultimately create all of the things that we see now. I can assure you that one speck of star dust, nor one speck of anything, can change itself. That speck, being the very first speck to exists, would not have had a chance to "evolve" yet so the chance of it having the ability to change itself and create multiple specks out of itself that all serve different purposes... is beyond unlikely. It is impossible.
If you find a Watch on the ground in the forest, there is no way you would ever think, "Oh wow, look what the dust, rain, and leaves came together to create over a period of billions and billions of years!" No, the idea is preposterous. You know that the watch was created by a human being because it is way too intricate to have been designed by chance and let alone, designed by itself.
The same goes for the Universe. Did you know they have counted over 70 Sextillion stars so far? Do you know the intricacies of how the eyeball works? Did you know that new discoveries are still being made about the individual cell? Do you really believe that everything that exists could come from one tiny speck of star dust that came to be on its own (which is what MANY well known scientists believe).
I think that takes more faith to believe that nonsense than to see with my very eyes the incredible CREATION that is the Universe. It's just so plain... how can someone not see it?
Evolution is not a reasonable theory, it is driven by culture and not fact. Evolutionists will do and say everything they can to try and prove that this theory has any legitimate claims and can coincide with science, but when it comes down to it they have nothing.
Not only do they have nothing but they are not willing to examine the claims of the creationist and therefore, they cannot be labeled as true scientists. To be a scientist you must look at ALL possibilities and be willing to follow the truth wherever it leads. That is the entire purpose of science.
If you study Darwin's Theory of evolution you will quickly discover the many many many errors (that evolutionists have since tried to correct by changing and developing the theory). Darwin himself had doubts of his theory - because of this ultimate question. He could not explain how something came from nothing.
Every evolutionist fails at answering their own questions about why the earth exists and how the universe came to be because they do not want to believe that God could exist. Yet, there is an overabundance of evidence that could persuade them IF they gave it a reasonable chance, just as they would for any other form of scientific study. Simply in the design alone of the universe is enough evidence. God can be proven without any mention of the Bible or Jesus. Look at your hand - do you know how it works? Do you know exactly how much goes into one simple movement of the finger? Is it even a plausible idea that this "machine" that is your finger could have created itself?
How about your brain? Just try to explain the evolution of that.
The question still lingers...
How did something come from nothing?
Many (if not most) scientists today acknowledge that this theory of evolution ridiculous and not a valid theory. However, our culture has grasped onto it SO tightly because it means that maybe, just maybe... life could have created itself and therefore, there is no need for a God. They have come up with evidence that is not evidence, facts that are not fact, and logic that is simply not logical, and for what? To give man some level of importance without the existence of God.
Famous philosophers and scientists have always struggled with this question of something coming from nothing because no matter what path they take to try and explain it, it always leads up to..."I don't know. I can't know."
What makes a scientist so much smarter than the average person? They go to school for a number of years, studying theories and ideas that other men have come up with before them. What makes people believe everything they hear a philosopher say? I have no more or less respect for scientists and philosophers because all they do is learn how the earth works and functions in a particular and universal manner, without ever thinking outside the box.
No matter how hard one tries to explain the box (that is the universe), you will never understand it until you look outside the box and see that nothing comes from nothing, and something always comes from something.
Step outside of culture and look outside of the box and take a look at what you see. Can you still believe that there isn't a God?
