    50 Reasons I Reject Evolution

    1. Because I don't like the idea that we came from apes despite that humans are categorically defined and classified as apes.

    2. Because I'm too dense and/or lazy to open a friggin book or turn on the Discovery Science Channel.

    3. Because if I can't immediately understand how something works, then it must be bullcrap.

    4. Because I don't care that literally 99.9% of all biologists accept evolution as the unifying theory of biology.

    5. Because I prefer the idea that a (insert god of choice) went ALLA-KADABRA-ZAM MOTHAH-MOTHAHS!!!

    6. Because I can't get it through my thick logic-proof skull that evolution refers ONLY to the process of speciation, not to abiogenesis, or planet formation, or big bang cosmology, or whether God exists, or where they buried Jimmy Hoffa, or why the sky is blue, or how many licks it takes to get to the center of a danged Tootsie Pop.

    7. Because the fossil record doesn't comprise the remains of every single living thing that ever existed on this 4.5 billion year old planet, even though fossilization is a rare process that only occurs under very specific circumstances.

    8. Because science has yet to produce any transitional species except for the magnitudinous numbers of them found in the fossil record, which don't count because I uh, OOH LOOK! A SHINY OBJECT!!! *runs away*

    9. Because I know nothing about Darwin except that he had a funny beard.

    10. Because the theory of evolution (which, according to scientists, perfectly explains the richness and diversity of life on Earth) contradicts biblical literalism ya know, flat Earth with a firmament that keeps out the water, talking snakes, people rising from the dead, bats are birds, flamey talking bushes, virgin births, food appearing out of nowhere, massive bodies of water turning into blood etc etc.

    11. Because I think the word theory actually means "random stabs in the dark", when it really means "an explanation of certain phenomena that is well-supported by a large body of facts and often unifies similarly well-supported hypotheses" i.e. atomic theory, gravitational theory, germ theory, cell theory, some-people-are-just-dumb theory, etc.

    12. Because the fact that science is self-correcting annoys me. Most of my other beliefs are rigidly fixed and uncorrectable.

    13. Because I am under the severely mistaken impression that evolution implies someone in my very recent ancestry was a chimp.

    14. Because everything appears designed to my mind which was expertly tuned by nature to perceive design, probably as a survival mechanism.

    15. Because some secretly fabulous closet-dwelling televangelist (who without any sense of irony also preaches hate towards gay people) told me that evolution is Satan's way of leading me away from God.

    16. Because that same guy (who was also caught snorting blow off a male hooker's shiny naked ***) told me that God planted those fossils to test my faith.

    17. Because I'm 100% correct about everything 100% of the time and there is 0% chance that some snooty Oxford educated scientist with numerous honorary doctorates could possibly know something that I don't.

    18. Because I don't know that fossils are found in sedimentary strata corresponding to their age as one would expect if evolution were true.

    19. Because I don't understand why, if we share common ancestry with chimps, there are still chimps. And when someone with more than three brain cells in their head inevitably replies: for the same reason Americans share common ancestry with Brits but there are still Brits, I can't follow the logic. Its just too big a leap. Who am I, Evil Knievel?

    20. Because my mom dropped me on my head when I was a baby.

    21. Multiple times.

    22. On purpose.

    23. Because the idea that life evolved naturally over billions of years is infinitely less believable than the idea that an 800 year old man crammed two of every species into a giant wooden boat when the entire planet flooded, an event for which there is absolutely no geological evidence whatsoever and also makes no darned sense at all.

    24. Because Jesus totally rode around on a T-rex. He's just that bad-assed. And also, did you know that T-rexes were vegetarians? Ken Ham says so and I believe it.

    25. Because I don't realize that saying microevolution is possible but macroevolution isn't is as ignorant as saying I can pick my nose for one second but I cannot pick it for 10 seconds.

    26. Because the education system failed me miserably.

    27. ... and then took a big wet dump on my face.

    28. Because I think that knowing how nature works magically obliterates all of its beauty.

    29. Because I didn't know that evolution has been tested and observed in laboratories.

    30. Because when confronted with that, I refuse to believe it. Its obviously a scientific conspiracy aimed at turning everyone on the planet into atheists... even though evolution says nothing about god's nature nor whether he, she, it, or they exist.

    31. Because I'm too dense to realize that Social Darwinism has nothing to do with evolution and is actually a pseudo-scientific bastardization that real science largely rejects.

    32. Because the planet and all the life on it was designed for humans kinda like how the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY was designed specifically for the dust-bunnies that may accumulate on the floors.

    33. Because I don't realize that if we actually found croco-ducks in the fossil record, it would falsify evolution.

    34. Because plenty of respectable people like Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, and Mike Huckabee (who are not scientists) don't accept evolution, and that somehow validates my opinion.

    35. Because my mother didn't know not to drink while she was pregnant. She also didn't know not to repeatedly throw herself down a flight of stairs in an attempt to undo the accident of screwing someone who voted for Bush both times.

    36. Because I don't know that irreducible complexity has been debunked a frazillion times by a frazillion different people and is no more credible an argument than NEEN-er NEEN-er NEEN-er, I'm right and you're wrong.

    37. Because I have never seen a duck evolve into a cat over night, despite the fact that such a thing would be contrary to all known scientific disciplines.

    38. Because I have no imagination, learning is too much effort, I don't like proven facts, change scares me, and I think deoxyribonucleic acid is something I'm supposed to clean my bathroom floors with.

    39. Because evolution means that I absolutely MUST reject everything else I know, abandon all my beliefs, and start aping around my house like a monkey. OOOh-ooohh-ooohohh -OOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!

    40. Because I haven't put my cave on the market and moved into the 21st century yet. I'm waiting for the cave market to rebound from the recent financial meltdown.

    41. Because I don't know what an atavism is and if you told me, I still wouldn't believe it. Too weird.

    42. Because I don't know that evolution explains methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and also provides the answer in preventing it from turning into a superbug and killing massive numbers of people.

    43. Because I don't know that evolution is routinely used in medicine to diagnose and treat certain illnesses such as genetic ailments, bacterial infections, and viral infections.

    44. Because I believe there is a strong comparison between designed inanimate objects such as buildings, paintings, and watches (which we know were pieced together from identifiable components by human beings) and living organisms (which reproduce with genetic variation under the effects of environmental attrition).

    45. Because I see no significant similarities between humans and apes. *scratches ***-crack then smells fingers*

    46. Because I think I'm too special to have been crafted by any natural process and the entire planet, solar system, galaxy, and universe were created with me especially in mind.

    47. Because I unquestioningly swallow the ignorant anti-science bullcrap spewed directly from the fraudulent asses of people like Ken Ham, Ted Haggard, Fred Phelps, and Kent Hovind.

    48. Because I'm a freethinker and freethinking really means ignoring anything that contradicts what I already believe.

    49. Because I don't know what confirmation bias is.

    50. Because despite the fact that in all my years of life, I have never seen any magic, I still believe magic is the answer to everything I don't immediately comprehend.
    Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case. Quod erat demonstrandum, I win. Take that you EVILutionists!

    (On a serious note, to deny evolution is to deny a direct observation, it's like denying the sky is blue while refusing to look up)

    I once heard that a Christian Scientist that believed in Evolution, by explaining that he believed God put Apes on Earth with the intention of them evolving into Humans... I really thought that was interesting logic and as a Christian that believes in Evolution I have a similar belief.

    Awesome post first of all.

    Secondly, I'd like to point out that I think one of the main problems with people accepting and understanding evolution, is the whole we came from apes part. That old graphic with a chimp on one side and man on the other with all the "tweens" has probably done more to hinder evolutions acceptance than anything else. Apes and people evolved from a common ancestor. I wish that was talked about and explained more. I'm sooooooo tired of hearing, " I ain't dun come from no damn monkey!"

    Because evolution and the Christian form of god really do not go together. How could you believe God put Adam and Eve in his garden, then went and created monkeys for us to evolve from? You couldn't.

    I myself do NOT relate with any religion. I live my life based upon what I see is good or bad for those around me. A God could exist along with evolution, but the God that the majority relate themselves to really couldn't.

    Just because you don't believe that humans evolved from apes doesn't mean you have to reject evolution in its entirety.

    Personally I believe that humans were part of evolution but it just seems almost undeniable that it has happened at at least some levels.

    Well from what I understand those who believe the bible word for word believe that people were created in the same physical form as today and haven't changed.

    Also to them accepting one piece of something means accepting the possiblity of it all. Just like their rejection of one part of the bible opens up the possibility of rejecting it all. The hardcore religious people generally have an all or nothing mindset.

    Yes but what if Adam and eve were apes? What if the tree of knowledge and leaving eden was their evolving minds (brains) developing concepts of greed, envy, shame etc. Their thought process going beyond instinctive reaction to adaptive intelligence. Now thats just crazy talk!

    As a Christian who is also a fan of science I find it funny how both science supporters and the religious fall prey to the same arrogance that they are absolutely right and the other is absolutely wrong.

    Nothing has been absolutely proven beyond the possibility of there being other causes and influences (remember the red shift) nor does the bible necessarily tell us everything. Who are we to say God does or should explain everything to us. Maybe he gave us intellect to figure stuff out on our own to a degree and just gives occasional hints. Who are we in our few thousand year written history in our tiny little corner of the universe to say we know without a doubt that the world works this way and only this way.

    Heck maybe aliens altered ape genetics. Intelligence wise, chimp to man is a hell of a leap compared to other trees in the evolutionary chart. Ezekiel's Wheel? Whoa..

    There are stranger things between heaven and earth than dreamt of in the minds of man. (loosely paraphrased) :)

    All that being said, I have to admit I love bananas. :lol:

    Okay, why don't you go down that list, and aside from the "reasons" which are purely derogatory comments impugning the intelligence of those who "reject" evolution, demonstrate the truth of each.

    I'll keep an open mind. Lets see if you can change my mind.

    There are very clear fossil, DNA, and dating records that are easily available through a Google search.

    If you dont take the Bible literally then a belief in a higher power and a belief in evolution can co-exsist.

    No not really.

    The evidence has been misinterpreted (that's different than misrepresented) over the years.

    It was once thought we came from apes. The evidence is clear now that we and the apes came from a common ancestor, for example. Regardless, the concept is the similar.

    Gotcha. That may add to some confusion; probably does, though not on this end.

    I am aware that there is not disingenuous debate as to the age of the earth. I'm sure you guys are much, much more up on that stuff than I am, and I am terribly limited in my ability to understand and weigh evidence due to my non-scientific background. But what about some of the evidence when indicates the earth is far, far younger than evolutionists assert?

    Why stop at Apes ? We go much further back than that .Right from the primeval soup that created single cell life in the first place .All animal life evolved from that .

    So if you dont like the sound of being a descendant of apes you can always say you descended from soup.:wink2: .Does that sound better ?

    BTW believing in evolution does not make you an atheist.

    There isn't any legitimate evidence, that says the Earth is younger than science says it is. If there were, Science would say we were that age or that we weren't sure.

    What is this evidence you speak of?

    If I were to attempt to get into a discussion on this, I would be severely limited to, essentially, just doing a google search and links to research.

    Google Young Earth Evidence and look it over. Keep an open mind. Skip through any stuff that starts reasoning from the Bible and just look at the research dealing with #s.

    Suffice it to say, I certainly don't consider myself to be a "knuckle dragger" or whatever other perjorative was listed in the initial post. But based upon the young earth research, I don't believe it to be the "open / shut" case many here believe it to be. If you'll leave the theology out of it and keep an open mind, you might be surprised at what you find.

    I just stumbled upon this stuff about a year ago after, really, for my entire adult life accepting evolution, while at the same time, accepting God. It was only after looking into it that it really sort of shook up my world view.

    Here's a link to start, but there's thousands of them on the net.

    http://www.earthage.org/youngearthev/evidence_for_a_young_earth.htm

    Here's a link where a fellow responds to several of the "young earth" arguments:

    http://www.tim-thompson.com/young-earth.html

    I think a review of those links alone will show that it is a very, very complex issue that would require a TON of effort to resolve. I suppose most of us don't have the time, I certainly don't, to wade through and weigh each and every piece of evidence.

    I am also aware of some sort of evidence concerning the origin of granite that indicates that it was of spontaneous origin, but it was so complex, I am unable to assess its merits. Perhaps some of you more intelligent folks would be motivated enough to give it a try.

    Not to take anything away from your statement or belief but apparently neither were the pseudoscientist who threw together that collection of nonsense.

    If someone seeks to reach for voodoo, I can point them to sites that "prove" that the earth is flat -- that man never landed on the moon -- that the towers were destroyed, not by two planes but by missiles.

    My goal is not to change anyone's mind. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter what any of us believe regarding evolution and I subscribe to the idea that one should hold tightly to the belief that makes things seem most "real".

    I can offer substantial proof of modern instances of evolution, if need be and substantial rebuttal to the "young earth" idea if anyone is interested.

    You can tell evolution was theorised by a man. The female body must still be evolving in order to cope with the most natural of life's phases – child birth. And then there's menopause.

    Not that I'd pretend to have a deep knowledge of evolution or at least enough to legitimately take a "side" but just for arguments sake wasn't there a time when all/most of the greatest minds thought the earth was flat? Just saying :tongue2:

    Are you clear now, brother or do you still have some question on this issue?

    I can simplify evolution:

    If species #1 can survive at a temperature less than 37 C (98.6 F) but a random mutation allows a few of that same species to survive at 40 C (104 F) and if the temperature of the area in which this species exists rises to 38 C, the mutant will have an advantage and will survive while their parent will die out. BUT, the parent strain who lives in habitats with temperatures less than 37 C will continue to exist, along with the mutant who can survive at higher temperatures. The survival of one, does not always mean the extinction of the other.

    Real life example: The peoples who live in the Andes have 1/3 rd larger lung capacity than does the same tribe who have lived at sea level. Both groups co-exist but each has adapted to have an advantage where they live.

    ...then scientists began the uphill battle of showing people the evidence that the Earth was round and not the center of the solar system. The "church" fought and imprisoned the scientists. Turns out, the scientists were right. Just saying, as well. :shifty:

    I've always found the use of the term "believe" curious when it comes to this discussion, evolution is science with holes, what is there to "believe"?

    Out of curiousity, how long did it take for the spontaneously created single cell life from to evolve into a large single cell organism and then onto other forms of life?

    And "if" mankind is cousins with monkeys, then why aren't monkeys driving Suburbans? (now there is a hanging softball..LOL)

    Just wondering when it comes to evolution has there ever been proof of a mutation that has added complexity.also isn't the fundamental faith of evolution that life just spontaneously created itself. Seems science has its own creation myth. Rather than having the age old question of origin be attributed to a creator they prefer to worship at the altar of blind luck

    So it looks like the choice is between blind luck or some bored self centered magician.

    Either way we do not know for sure.

    Well I do, however if I told you your mind would literally explode.

    There are hundreds of "gain of function" examples. Antibiotic resistance is one that comes to mind. Another specific example is a 700+ bp plasmid carried by some Arthrobacter that codes for the use of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyridine"]pyridines[/ame] as a sole carbon and nitrogen source.

    :lol: Arthrobacter crysallopoietes strain KM-4 degrading 2,6-dimethylpyridine and strain KM-4a degrading both 2,6-dimethylpyridine and pyridine, Arthrobacter sp. KM-4b degrading 2,4-dimethylpyridine were isolated from soil. Arthrobacter crystallopoietes KM-4 and Arthrobacter sp. KM-4b contain 100 Md plasmids pBS320 and pBS323. Arthrobacter crystallopietes KM-4a harbours a 100 Md and 80 Md plasmids. Plasmid curing and conjugation transfer results confirm that these plasmids are involved in degradation of 2,6-dimethylpyridine, 2,4-dimethylpyridine and pyridine. A mutant with lost ability to degrade 2,6-dimethylpyridine was isolated during the growth of strain KM-4 rifR at 42 degrees C. Electrophoretic analysis of the plasmid from temperature sensitive mutant revealed the deletion the size of 26 Md from pBS320 plasmid.

    I have to respond by quoting the bible

    1 In principio creavit Deus cælum et terram.

    2 Terra autem erat inanis et vacua, et tenebræ erant super faciem abyssi: et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas.

    3 Dixitque Deus: Fiat lux. Et facta est lux.

    4 Et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona: et divisit lucem a tenebris.

    5 Appellavitque lucem Diem, et tenebras Noctem: factumque est vespere et mane, dies unus.

    6 Dixit quoque Deus: Fiat firmamentum in medio aquarum: et dividat aquas ab aquis.

    7 Et fecit Deus firmamentum, divisitque aquas, quæ erant sub firmamento, ab his, quæ erant super firmamentum. Et factum est ita.

    8 Vocavitque Deus firmamentum, Cælum: et factum est vespere et mane, dies secundus.

    9 Dixit vero Deus: Congregentur aquæ, quæ sub cælo sunt, in locum unum: et appareat arida. Et factum est ita.

    10 Et vocavit Deus aridam Terram, congregationesque aquarum appellavit Maria. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum.

    11 Et ait: Germinet terra herbam virentem, et facientem semen, et lignum pomiferum faciens fructum juxta genus suum, cujus semen in semetipso sit super terram. Et factum est ita.

    12 Et protulit terra herbam virentem, et facientem semen juxta genus suum, lignumque faciens fructum, et habens unumquodque sementem secundum speciem suam. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum.

    13 Et factum est vespere et mane, dies tertius.

    14 Dixit autem Deus: Fiant luminaria in firmamento cæli, et dividant diem ac noctem, et sint in signa et tempora, et dies et annos:

    15 ut luceant in firmamento cæli, et illuminent terram. Et factum est ita.

    16 Fecitque Deus duo luminaria magna: luminare majus, ut præesset diei: et luminare minus, ut præesset nocti: et stellas.

    17 Et posuit eas in firmamento cæli, ut lucerent super terram,

    18 et præessent diei ac nocti, et dividerent lucem ac tenebras. Et vidit Deus quod esset bonum.

    19 Et factum est vespere et mane, dies quartus.

    20 Dixit etiam Deus: Producant aquæ reptile animæ viventis, et volatile super terram sub firmamento cæli

    Actually, what I meant is do we have an example of DNA mutating to gain complexity not simply gain of function. Remember, evolution theory is based on the assumption that man evolved from chemical soup. We have to destroy the concept that the law of entropy dominates the earth
