Why I don’t believe in neo-Darwin evolution

February 26th, 2009 No comments

Here are some reasons why I don’t believe neo-Darwin evolution is true, and the explanation I lean towards is Intelligent Design.

1) There is not enough time for evolution

Durrett and Schmidt, two mathematicians, published an article in Genetics of how long it would take for a 2 step mutation to occur in a complex organism such as a fruit fly or a human. The two point mutation they were looking at was a mutation that first inactivated a binding site then created a new binding site in its place. This is a trivial process as far as neo Darwin evolution goes because it’s not actually changing the gene. The amount of time they came up with was over 100 million years just for this trivial change. Given that the history of primates are in the ball park of 50 million years this change is impossible.

2) The second law of thermodynamics, things move towards entropy.

Every field of science adheres to the 2nd law of thermodynamics, things move from order to disorder. Read more…
