Why does everything in nature give the appearance of being designed? Richard Dawkins claims he sees no design in nature, I assume because the word design implies a designer. Okay, let’s take the word design out. Why is nature so ordered and complex? If you argue that life isn’t so I suggest you take an hour and read about DNA.
Still on the subject of design, why would I
be considered insane and put in a straight jacket if I repeatedly asserted that
the house I live in appeared completely by itself but not if I claimed the
earth appeared by accident?
If Watson, the supercomputer that competed
on Jeopardy required intelligent minds to conceive, design and build what can
be said about our infinitely more complicated brains?
Evolution is supposedly the progression of
life moving to higher and more sophisticated forms. Once these forms appear the lesser or weaker
ones are supposed to die out. If this is
the case then why are these primitive life forms still around? Being the highest life form shouldn’t we wipe
out all apes, since only the fittest survive?
If life began in the sea, what made it
decide life on land was better? How
could it know it needed to breath and be able to walk? If this life in the sea became an amphibian,
what made it decide life as a reptile would be better? If life became a reptile what made it decide
life as a bird would be better? How did
it know flight was even possible? If
life became a bird what made it decide life as a mammal would be better? If life became a mammal what made it decide
life as a human would be better?
If humans are the top rung of the
evolutionary ladder why do many of the animals below us have superior strength,
stronger eyesight, more acute hearing, more sensitive noses, and senses we
don’t have at all (such as sharks?)
Scientists have pegged the chances of life
appearing by itself on earth as one in 1040,000 to
one in 101,000,000. That is the number 10 followed by one million
zeros. If printed in a book that book
would be 300 pages long.
Scientists have found millions of fossils and fossil
fragments. Considering that life
supposedly evolved over billions of years there should be abundant evidence of
missing links and transitional life forms.
Surely these would appear in museums around the world. They do not.
Why does the fossil record contain complete life forms but seems so
barren of all the rest?
Evolutionists claim apes are mankind’s closest
ancestors. Why is there such a massive
gulf between us and them? Why are we
here and why are they here but why did no intermediate creatures survive?
If we did evolve why did we bother to invent God in the
first place?
All the animals that supposedly came before us are
equipped with exactly what they need to survive. Why has our brain evolved so far beyond what
we can do with it in our lifespan?
Where does the ability to appreciate art fit into
evolution? What about the ability to
imagine? How does a sense of humor help
us survive? Why do we appreciate
music? Why do we seek to better
ourselves, to fill our head with knowledge, to reach beyond the basic animal
instincts?
What role does the conscience play in evolution? Wouldn’t a feeling of guilt be a hindrance to
the “survival of the fittest” mentality?
Why does every person have a conscience?
Why does the conscience consistently condemn the same basic wrongs
(murder, incest, personal property) even in cultures that have had no contact
with the rest of the world?
Think of some of the things that had to happen for life
to begin here by accident:
-The earth had to be the correct distance from the sun to
prevent life from either freezing or burning
-The earth needed the correct tilt
-The earth needed the correct rotational speed and a
proportionately larger than average moon to keep it stable
-The earth needed to be in the correct place in the
galaxy to avoid over exposure to life killing radiation
-The earth needed to be in orbit around a stable star
-The earth needed to be the correct size to maintain an
atmosphere
-The atmosphere needed to provide breathable air, be a
filter for harmful UV radiation, and form an insulating blanket from the cold
of space
-The earth needed a magnetic field to protect it from
cosmic radiation, particularly from our own sun
-For life to begin the earth needed to happen to have the
correct enzymes and building blocks of life in the correct quantities and in
the correct locations
-The earth needed to evolve plant life first (and nobody
can explain how plant life came about by accident) to provide convenient oxygen
for the upcoming animal life
-The earth needed to have self-contained cycles, such as
the water, oxygen, and nitrogen cycles to sustain life
-The earth needed to have water and water needed to
expand when it froze to prevent all life in the oceans from freezing into one
block of ice
