Synopsis By: Ahmed Khan Thesis Statement: The Theory of evolution is proven false based on the support of palaeontology, the Fossil record and Science. Historiography: Evolutionists use the fossil record to prove their facts through the ancestry of animals. For example the certain species of fish have been known to change over time in size and shape Many paleontologists such as Richard Monastersky describe the contradictions between paleontological truth and Darwinism. For example, when Darwin explains creatures from the Cambrian age (550 million years ago) emerging from simple bacteria it completely invalidates his theory. Phillip Johnson “Darwinian theory predicts a “cone of increasing diversity”, as the first living organism, or first animal species, gradually and continually diversified to create the higher levels of taxonomic order. The animal fossil record more resembles such a cone turned upside down with the phyla present at the start and thereafter decreasing” (The coelacanth is a lobe-finned fish and it evolved from the armoured fish (BBC, 1998). Fish are chordates like humans, meaning they have a notochord, or spine (Parrish, 1998). The first fish to evolve were the Agnathans, which were armoured, jawless fish the lived in the Devonian and Silurian periods (Parrish, 1998). They first appeared 510 million years ago (Parrish, 1998). Next the Acanthodians appeared in the middle Silurian, and they were also armoured fish, but they had jaws (BBC, 1998). The Placoderms appeared next in the middle to late Silurian and they had jaws and platey scales (BBC, 1998). The lobe-finned and lungfish both appeared about the same time in the middle Devonian.) Argument 1: Evolutionism has been an unconfirmed theory. Its evidence based on Paleontology has been disproved and is considered inaccurate. A Paleontologist, Jan Bergsrtom who studied the early Cambrian deposit in Chengyiang, China states that the early phyla where just as distinct from each other as the ones today. . Jan Bergstrom paleontologist “ The Chengyiang fauna demonstrates that the large animal phyla of today were present already in the early Cambrian and they were as distinct from each other as they are today” There was a creature discovered called the Silurian trilobite. Trilobites belonged to the Arthropoda phylum, and where very complex creatures with had shells, articulated bodies and complex organisms. Darwin stated (origin of species) that these descended from a crustacean. However no evidence has been found to this day. Darwin states on Trilobites “I cannot doubt that all the Silurian trilobites have descended from some one crustacean, which must have lived long before the Silurian (Cambrian) age, and which probably differed greatly from any known animal. Consequently, IF MY THEORY BE TRUE, it is indisputable that before the lowest Silurian stratum was deposited, long periods elapsed, as long as, or probably far longer than, the whole Argument 2: The fossil record has been used in evolutionism as evidence however every conclusion that evolution draws from the fossil record is false. Many Paleontologists describe how Darwin’s theory which dominates the world of science has completely ignored the fossil record and clear facts. Steven M. Stanley a paleontologists explains how most discoveries in fact contradict Darwin’s theory. Steven M. Stanley states “The known fossil record is not, and never has been in accord with gradualism. What is remarkable is that, through a variety of historical circumstances, even the history of opposition has been obscured. The majority of Paleontologists felt their evidence simply contradicted Darwin’s stress on minute, slow and cumulative changes leading to species transformation.” . A key example that they evolutionists use is that reptiles evolved from amphibians. No matter how similar they are, it is clearly proven through the fossil record that reptiles in fact did not evolve from amphibians. Even an evolutionary paleontologist accepts this. He actually admitted in one of his works called Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution; he states that the early amniotes are sufficiently distinct from all Paleozoic amphibians that their specific ancestry has not been established. . Robert L. Carroll, An evolutionist states “the early amniotes are sufficiently distinct from all Paleozoic amphibians that their specific ancestry is not established” Argument 3: The big bang theory has been stated and based on a fact that does not make any sense. It is stated through this theory that something came from nothingness. Even scientist admit to being materialist’s first and scientists second as stated by an evolutionist, Richard C. Lewontin he explains how no matter what happens society will never except “a divine foot through the door”. Even certain scientist’s claim that there is no explanation for the existence of matter, they are determined to find an answer and not except any religious or god like means. Scientists do not have the option anymore to turn to god for the answers. It is not accepted in our society for a scientist just to say that god created it. In the answers we ask of them they cannot refer to any supernatural power. This shows that know a days no matter how unproven the theory is. If it’s scientific it’s most likely to be accepted like Darwinism. . It is shown through this example that society is secular. It will not resort or except any answers dealing with a supernatural being or religion. This causes evolution to be accepted even more due to the people’s lack of faith in god. Yet however it proves that no matter how many people except it. Based on scientific evidence it is wrong. Even scientists acknowledge it.
