Brendan and I have been discussing our favorite arguments against evolution. It’s hard to narrow them down, but here are our top 10 – with links to articles on AnswersInGenesis.org.
1. Mutations, the mechanism that evolutionists tell us accounts for the transformation of protozoa into humans, generally result from a LOSS of genetic information. There is NO mechanism for the increase of genetic information.
2. Evolutionists exclude evidence of the supernatural and spiritual. “Even if all the data point to an intelligent designer, such an hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not naturalistic.” – Dr. Scott Todd. If you make the assumption that a supernatural explanation is invalid, you can’t arrive at a Creationist conclusion, even if it’s true.
3. Irreducible Complexity – You can’t change a cilium into a flagellum any more than you can change a bicycle into a motorcycle and have a functioning vehicle during the entire process.
4. Radiometric dating is unreliable. It is based on unprovable assumptions. Basically, IF you know the starting amounts of each element, IF you’re dealing with a closed system and IF the rates of decay have been constant, then you should know the age of the sample. But even so, dating methods frequently contradict each other.
5. There isn’t enough salt in the sea. Given the current rate of salination, and adhering to the evolutionist assumption that things have been pretty much constant over the history of the earth, the oceans cannot be anywhere near as old as they tell us.
6. The probability of evolution is incredibly small.
7. “Living Fossils” have been around, supposedly unchanged for billions of years. Why would they remain unchanged while everything else has evolved?
8. Fossils must form very rapidly, otherwise they would simply decay. This is consistent with a global flood.
9. There really aren’t any “Missing Links.”
10. There aren’t enough people on the earth for us to have been around for millions or billions or even hundreds of thousands of years.

I think it bares mentioning that Darwin realized that he was wrong before he died and found Christ. Something that you will not see mentioned.
Hope all is well.

Athiests and evolutionists obviously contest that point strongly, but I’m sure that every Christian hopes for Darwin’s sake that it’s true.
Good summary! I know, evolution is so full of holes that it points to the “blind faith” of those who hold to it.
Carbon dating is fraught with difficulties too. I remember one case (not sure which method of dating was used) where something was dated as millions of years old that was subsequently found to be very recent!
They would probably say to #7 that they just happened to be developed to a state that would fit in with the changing world around them. I still think mothers should have three arms by now!
