Evolutionary Trees"Evolving" Robots Challenge Evolution
By Fazale R. Rana “Evolvable” robots invented by a team of computer scientists from Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts, headlined the popular media last summer. According to the press, these machines were capable of developing, on their own, new and better machines, thus mimicking, in the laboratory, the evolutionary process biologists ascribe to nature. Birds Terrorize Evolutionary Biologists
Posted by Fazale ‘Fuz’ Rana, Ph.D. Largest Bird Study to Date Challenges the Validity of Biological Evolution Evolution as Mythology, Part 1 (of 5): The Theory of Evolution is a Myth
Editor’s note: Today we present an article by guest scholars Dr. Hugh Henry, Ph.D. , Daniel J. Dyke, M.Div., M.Th., and Dr. Charles Cruze, Ph.D. The creation-evolution debate is usually framed as science v. religion: verifiable fact v. faith. But we contend that it takes at least as much faith to believe in the theory of evolution as in creation by a supernatural God. And in reality, evolution has more characteristics of a “myth” than of a scientific theory. Evolution as Mythology, Part 2 (of 5): Evolution is not a Scientific Theory
Editor’s note: Today we present an article by guest scholars Dr. Hugh Henry, Ph.D. , Daniel J. Dyke, M.Div., M.Th., and Dr. Charles Cruze, Ph.D. A previous article noted how the theory of evolution evinces characteristics of a myth. This article will consider how it measures up to the definition of “science.” Evolution as Mythology, Part 3 (of 5): The Myth of Abiogenesis
The last two articles have discussed how the theory of evolution has characteristics of a myth (which cannot be proven or disproven by the... Evolution as Mythology, Part 4 (of 5): The Myth of Macroevolution
Editor’s note: Today we present an article by guest scholars Dr. Hugh Henry, Ph.D. , Daniel J. Dyke, M.Div., M.Th., and Dr. Charles Cruze, Ph.D. The last article discussed the mythlike characteristics of abiogenesis, a key component of the theory of evolution, that says living organisms appeared spontaneously from nonliving matter. This article discusses evolution itself, which is separated into two categories: Evolution as Mythology, Part 5 (of 5): Conclusion
Editor’s note: Today we present an article by guest scholars Dr. Hugh Henry, Ph.D. , Daniel J. Dyke, M.Div., M.Th., and Dr. Charles Cruze, Ph.D. The four previous articles in this series have shown that the theory of evolution is more like a creation myth than a scientific theory. A myth may be true or false, but its principle characteristic is that it validates the thinking, practices, and ideals of a culture. Evolution explains our existence within the framework of our modern culture of naturalism, which has no need for a god. Failure of Molecular Clocks: Important Implications for the Christian Faith
By Fuz Rana, Ph.D. According to the biological evolutionary paradigm, molecular evolution parallels organic evolution. In other words, as the evolutionary changes proceed at the anatomical level (via the process of descent with modification from a common ancestor), molecular changes occur in the amino acid and nucleotide sequences of proteins and genes, respectively. Flightless Birds Cause Evolution to Run Out of Options
Posted by Fazale ‘Fuz’ Rana, Ph.D. Newly Discovered Example of Convergence Challenges Biological Evolution Marine Body Sizes Add Weight to Creation Model
By Fazale R. Rana Evolution predicts change over time, not stasis; so researchers continue to search for an organism that shows significant evolutionary change. A recent analysis of marine creatures, however, revealed the unexpected: not the shift in body sizes predicted by evolutionary theory, but rather, an optimal body size unchanged for millions of years. New Study Raises More Questions about Evolution
Posted by Fazale 'Fuz' Rana, Ph.D. Elephant Sharks Closer to Humans than Teleost Fish?Repeatable Evolution or Repeated Creation?
By Fazale Rana Any casual observer of nature recognizes that many creatures bear some resemblance to one another. Many species of frogs, lizards, fish, and other animals and plants from different parts of the world appear to be nearly identical. This similarity has been the pattern throughout life’s history. The Unreliability of Hominid Phylogenetic Analysis Challenges The Human Evolutionary Paradigm
By Fuz Rana, Ph.D. Recent work by two researchers from University College London (UCL) and George Washington University (GW) calls into serious question the capability of paleoanthropologists to detect and establish the evolutionary relationships assumed to exist among bipedal primates, or hominids. Virus Argument No Longer Immune to Challenge
by Fazale R. Rana The apparent ability of certain viruses, such as HIV, to develop (“evolve”) immunity to drug treatment represents convincing, real-time proof of evolutionary advance, according to some biologists.
