Abstract

The eight primary lined of evidence offered for macroevolution and Darwinian mechanisms are discussed. Evolutionist scientists and writers are quoted who suggest that (1) the paleontology argument "contributed . . . nothing to evolutionary biology"; (2) the phylogeny argument has produced only a "meaningless waffle" and has been "another miserable failure"; (3) the classification argument "has nothing to say about evolution" and "ignorance concerning these relationships is still great"; and (4) the "facts of comparative anatomy provide no evidence for evolution," while the "attempt to find homologous genes has been given up as hopeless." Similarly, (5) the embryological argument used to center on a biogenetic "law" that has "been demonstrated to be wrong by numerous subsequent scholars" and now stands on the problem that "[a]natomically homologous parts in different related organisms appear to have quite different origins"; (6) the comparative biochemistry argument offers a "serious . . . challenge to the whole evolutionary framework" rather than support by widespread anomalies that require "a robust rejection of generalized molecular clock hypothesis of DNA evolution"; (7) the population genetics argument has made "no direct contribution to what Darwin obviously saw as the fundamental problem: the origin of species," and "is merely the blind leading the blind"; and (8) the artificial selection argument overlooks that "selective breeding is not analogous to the action of 'natural selection'." All scientists mentioned in this article are evolutionists.
