7 Principle Objections
to
Evolution
(from The Living World 3rd Ed by George B.Johnson, p 68)
1. “Evolution is just a theory”.
2. “No one ever saw a fin on its way
to becoming a leg”
3. “The organs of living creatures are far
too complex for a random process to
have produced -- the existence of a
clock is evidence of a clock maker”.

4. “A jumble of soda cans doesn’t by
by itself jump neatly into a stack -things become more disordered
due to random events, not more
organized”.
5. “Hemoglobin has 141 amino acids.
The probability that the first one
would be leucine is 1/20 and that
all 141 would be the ones they are
by chance is (1/20)^141, an
Impossibly rare event”.

6. “No scientist has come up with an
experiment where fish evolve into
frogs and leap away from predators.
7. “The intricate molecular machinery
of the cell cannot be explained by
evolution from simpler stages.
Because each part of a complex
cellular process like blood clotting is
essential to the overall process,
how can natural selection fashion
any one part?”
