Show me any evidence against evolution derived from the scientific method, and I'll gladly agree that it did not happen.

How does the scientific method disprove the Genesis account of creation? The scientific method deals with the how of the here and now. How does the scientific method apply to creation? Without eyewitnesses to the event of creation, we are dealing with faith.

You think forensic science is faith because noone eyewitnessed the crime?

„Ï Every time I write a paper on the origin of life, I determine I will never write another one, because there is too much speculation running after too few facts." ¡X*Francis Crick, Life Itself (1981), p. 153. [Crick received a Nobel Prize for discovering the structure of DNA.

„Ï "The over-riding supremacy of the myth has created a widespread illusion that the theory of evolution was all but proved one hundred years ago and that all subsequent biological research¡Xpaleontological, zoological and in the newer branches of genetics and molecular biology¡Xhas provided ever-increasing evidence of Darwinian ideas."¡X*Michael Denton, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1985), p. 327

„Ï The irony is devastating. The main purpose of Darwinism was to drive every last trace of an incredible God from biology. But the theory replaces God with an even more incredible deity¡Xomnipotent chance."¡X*T. Rosazak, Unfinished Animal (1975), pp. 101-102

„Ï "Mathematicians agree that any requisite number beyond 1050 has, statistically, a zero probability of occurrence (and even that gives it the benefit of the doubt!). Any species known to us, including the smallest single-cell bacteria, have enormously larger number of nucleotides than 100 or 1000. In fact, single cell bacteria display about 3,000,000 nucleotides, aligned in a very specific sequence. This means that there is no mathematical probability whatever for any known species to have been the product of a random occurrence¡Xrandom mutations (to use the evolutionist's favorite expression)."¡XI.L. Cohen, Darwin was Wrong (1984), p. 205

„Ï "To my mind, the theory does not stand up at all."¡X*H. Lipson, "A Physicist Looks at Evolution," Physics Bulletin 31 (1980), p. 138.

„Ï The notion that not only the biopolymer but the operating program of a living cell could be arrived at by chance in a primordial organic soup here on the Earth is evidently nonsense of a high order."¡X*Fred Hoyle, "The Big Bang in Astronomy," in New Scientist (1981) Vol. 9, pp. 521, 527.

„Ï "It is therefore of immediate concern to both biologist and lawman that Darwinism is under attack. The theory of life that undermined nineteenth-century religion has virtually become a religion itself and in its turn is being threatened by fresh ideas. The attacks are certainly not limited to those of the creationists and religious fundamentalists who deny Darwinism for political and moral reasons. The main thrust of the criticism comes from within science itself. The doubts about Darwinism represent a political revolt from within rather than a siege from without."¡X*B. Leith, The Decent of Darwin: A Handbook of Doubts about Darwinism (1982), p. 11






„Ï "Darwin made a mistake sufficiently serious to undermine his theory. And that mistake has only recently been recognized as such . . One organism may indeed be `fitter' than another . . This, of course, is not something which helps create the organism, . . It is clear, I think that there was something very, very wrong with such an idea. As I see it the conclusion is pretty staggering: Darwin's thoery, I believe, is on the verge of collapse."¡X*Tom Bethell, "Darwin's Mistake," Harper, February 1976, pp. 72, 75.
