Theory of Evolution
Objective :
Species in the universe including men, are not created from the species from lowest rank. We should understand that all species are created by God, not the result of the evolution process.
Bible Portion: Genesis 1,2.
Memory Verse: Genesis 1:27-28
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God, He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
Bible very clearly describes that the universe and the species in it are created by God (Gen. 1,2). Not only atheists, but many Christian leaders also do not believe in the creation of narrated in the Bible. They prefer evolution theory formulated by Darwin. It is the only intuition that cannot be proved scientifically.
History of evolutionary thought
Men in all ages try to deny the creator of the universe, and they hold the view of the creation of species from nature. Aristotle and the philosophers in ancient Greece were occupied with this view. Later, some scientists introduced the theory of spontaneous generation. They believed that species were formed from the decayed particles, worms, small fishes, frogs, and flies. Louie Pasteur asserted the fact with several experiments that the species are not created naturally or by its own.
Charles Darwin published a book titled 'Origin of Species' in 1959. He described that evolution is a long term process, and the species seeing today are created from the single-celled amoeba. It took thousands of years. The way if its description is simple and attractive. But it does not contain convincing factors depending on his argument. It is only intuitions. The phrases like 'has some possibility' 'sound to believe,' and 'maybe so' are asserting the hollowness of the theory. Atheists and the people opposing the Bibleaccepted it as scientific truth and propagating it. In a short period, the theory has been spread almost everywhere and finds places in school books. But, Darwin himself had confessed in his last days that his findings were only mistakes. Lady Hopp, who visited him those days, testified so, It is notable that the scientists, who lived before and after, criticized his arguments.
A brief history of Evolution Theory
Millions of years back, the single-celled creatures were created naturally. Evolution theorists have different views on it. Mutation and the handing over the behavior to the next generation helped the formation of single-celled species, hydra and then to the formation of birdes and animals and later to man. This is called the theory of evolution.
Laws of evolution
Let us examine some important laws put forward by evolution theorists.
1. Similarity in Anatomy
The bones, veins, arteries, and fleshy structures are seen in a kind of animals are different slightly in other animals. To individual animals, that physical structure is more or less the same. The cat to dog and monkey to man is having the same physical structure. The species are graded according to this similarity and professed that there might be a common ancestor.
This argument does not prove the evolution of thought. It reveals that all species are the creatures of the handiwork of great God. The houses built by the same engineer, are different from each other, but there is some common factor in the making. There is a need of commonness in necessary things. We have many high school buildings though they may be different in structures, run by the education department.
2. Gradation in classification:
We can classify the species according to the physical structures. The evolutionist arranges the species in a row. They range from single-celled Amoeba to the man with the concrete physical structure. In the lower row, we see paramecium, hydra, worm, and cockroach and in the upper range, there is dog, cat, goat, monkey, and man. Then the evolutionists raise their base of evidence in the form of the gradation takes place in these species. They assume that the gradation takes place from amoeba to paramecium and then to man. This view is utterly wrong and odd.
a. In a library, the books are systematically ordered, and they are arranged according to the size and subject matter. Can anyone believe the false notion that the big books have been transformed from the small books? But the gradation in classification possibly considers the strength of evolution theory.
b. There finds a big gap or space between all kinds of species. For instance, the science is ignorant about the chains between species with and without spines. Dr. Alfred Roman, the zoologist form Harvard University admits it. Though there is certain common physical feature between man and monkey, there is a lot of difference in mental and moral areas. Where is the species that can be said as a link between man and monkey? Evolution theorists could not prove the existence such as animal.
2. Embryology
Evolution theorists hold an argument over embryology. Embryo is undergone through some process. From the single celled species it becomes transformed into man. They hold the view that the embryo in mine months takes the form of protozoan, fish, amphibian and monkey; but the embryologists completely denies it. In the first phase of the growth of embryo, it does not have anything common to protozoan. Protozoan is an independent species, can eat and digest food as men. Embryo has no such peculiarities. Embryo has no gills like fish. The internal arrangements in man's body are unique. If man takes birth after millions of years, the embryo also will take some other forms. The fact is that the human embryo repeats again throughout these years. So, we can say undoubtedly that the evolutionistic arguments based on embryology are only an assumption without any basis.
3. Vestigial Organs
The useless organs in human body are called vestigial organs.
Example: 1. Vermiform appendix in alimentary canal
2. Tonsils in throat
4. Mutation
Mutation is a sudden departure from the parent type in one or more heritable characteristics, caused by a change in a gene. Different types of species are formed due to mutation. Evolution theorists uphold it as another proof for their arguments. Mutation was possible in medical lab in certain circumstances. Natural process of mutation is impossible. Evolution theory could not explain how mutation works from protozoan to man. Dr. H.J. Muller, the Nobel Prize winner, strongly denies the argument based on mutation.
1. In nature, mutation is rare.
2. Mutation is dangerous for species
3. The species will be destroyed gradually
5. Transmission of acquired characteristics
Species change due to the pressure of environment. Such changes can be seen physically and also in behavior. These changes transfer to the predecessors and new species emerge. This is another argument of evolution theorists.Giraffe's forelegs and long neck is due to the transmission of acquired characteristics. The ancestors of Giraffes had to stretch their neck and forelegs to reach for the leaves. But it is not possible to transmit the physical changes and the acquired characteristics. Many scientists like Dr. Augustus Weismann, Dr. Paine and Dr. Kasin proved scientifically that the transmission acquired characteristic is a false notion.
6. Mendelism
Mendal conducted experiments in plants for 62 years from 1882. He could discover that through cross breeding of animals and plants, new and better or them can be produced. Mendalism is not at all supporting evolution theory. Mendal took the species of same kind for the experiment, not between pulses and roots, hen and eagle. It was conducted with pulses and pulses. The process of reproduction is hereditary. New kind of species cannot be formed out of the same species. The Lord created living creatures according to their kinds.
7. Paleontological Evidence
Evolution theorists raised their base in the form of fossils of ancient creatures in layers of rocks. They hold the view that the fossils of the species of lower and higher kind can be seen in downside and upside. They imagine that the species of lower kind formed first and, from them the species with concrete physical structure. In the early stages of the theory, the evolution theorists had taken it as major evidence. They were unable to prove their view through experiments. The system of fossils up and down does indicate the places of species in a less number. There was no clarity of much species. In the lowest layer of rock, the fossils of big and small animals are found mixed. It shows the hollowness of their argument. It is clear that all creatures were living together. The later studies show that the scientists of evolution theory failed to analyze the time and age of species.
8. The Origin of Life
Evolution theorists have nothing to say about the origin of life. There was a time men believed that wasps were formed out of manure and flies from decayed eggs and flesh. The science also had to believe the formation of bacteria through organic process. Many scientists like Louie Pasteur proved that life does not appear in not-living things. Some believe that the life was produced in American lab by Dr. Khorano, the Indian scientist. The fact is that he produced only proteins by putting together nucleotides. Life is the rendering of God. No one in the world could create the living cell of species. Those who argue the evolution of species was created. Moreover, they only discuss how different species are formed. It is acceptable and believable that the Lord created Living creatures according to their kinds
So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23So the evening and the morning were the fifth day.(Gen. 1:21-24)
