3、 a person. It does not select.2. Nature provides the conditions for organisms.3. An organism already possesses the genes to adapt. Those who do not adapt would die off.4. It is not a creative process, but conservative.5. Therefore, natural selection presupposes creation.,9/29/2018,3,Natural Selectio

10、d the famous Skull 1470 over 20 years agoThe Skull 1470 shook the interpretation of the fossils at that time. It was quite modern and yet found in old formation.Recently, Richard Leakey made the mistake of announcing that fossil discoveries will soon convince skeptics to give up their views,9/29/201

29、profusion of living fossils,9/29/2018,25,TAKE A BREAK,9/29/2018,26,Evolution is mathematically impossible 进化是数学上不可能,Henry Morris posted the above amazing title in the icr website.Natural selection is supposed to put good mutations in the genome. However, no one has ever observed such a good mutation
30、.To examine this process, start with an organism with only 1 part. Then build a simple organism gradually to only 200 parts.Suppose each mutation has equal probability to be good or bad, 200 successive mutations to be good would be (0.5)200, or 1 chance in 1060.,9/29/2018,27,Evolution is mathematica
31、lly impossible 进化是数学上不可能,We know that a one-celled plant or animal has millions of molecular parts.Suppose we give 10 billion years (= 1018 sec). Suppose we give each mutation 0.5 sec. Then 200 mutations would require 100 sec. If not successful, start over again. Suppose every one of the earths 1014
32、 sq ft has 109 mutating systems.In 1018 sec, 1016 trials by each mutating system. No. of attempts = 1014x109x1016 = 1039. The probability of success = 1060/1039 = 1021.,9/29/2018,28,Evolution is mathematically impossible 进化是数学上不可能,This means that the chance that any kind of a 200-component integrate
33、d functioning organism could be developed by mutation and natural selection just once, anywhere in the world, in all assumed expanse of geologic time, is less then 1 chance in a billion trillion. Emil Borel, a Swiss mathematician, declared that 1 chance in 1015 is negligible.Therefore, evolution by
34、mutation and natural selection is mathematically impossible and logically indefensible.,9/29/2018,29,Evolution is mathematically impossible 进化是数学上不可能,Other authors came to the same conclusion:James Coppedge: “Evolution: Possible or Impossible” (Zondervan, 1973, 276 pp.)W.A.

36、ssible 进化是数学上不可能,Many writers have used the law of increasing entropy to show evolution on any scale is impossible. Evolutionists have usually ignored the arguments or used vacuous arguments such as “Anything can happen given enough time”; “The earth is an open system, so the second law doesnt apply”; “Order can arise out of chaos through dissipative structures”; etc.In the real world of observation, as opposed to metaphysical speculation, no more complex system can ever “evolve” out of a less complex system. The probability of evolution is zero!,9/29/2018,31,TAKE A BREAK,
