Ok. Well you think the video is propaganda, and I think magazine articles are propaganda. But anyways lets forget the movie now and talk common sense. Is that all right with you?
Let's go step by step. Because Evolution contains a lot of things, which one can get confused by. So lets talk about Natural Selection first, which is one of the basic fundementals of the Theory of Evolution. I hope that is all right with you. The reason why I am taking it step-step is because it will be easier to understand and follow.
Anyways, Natural Selection is NOT an evolutionary mechanism. If you go and read the theory you will read that Natural Selection tells us that the weak will die, and the strong will live. and also that the animal fittest to the enviroment will live and the one's who are not fit will die. This does not mean that there is any process of Evolution. This theory only tells us which animals will survive, NOT which animals will evolve. This can be supported by a verse by DARWIN himself.
"Natural Selection can do
NOTHING until
FAVORABLE variations
CHANCE to occur."
Charles Darwin The Origin of Species. 1.ed. p.177
You see that "Natural Selection can do
NOTHING". So the discussion about Natural Selection having any Evolutionary mechansims ends here. But lets continue and talk about the "
favorable variations".
I also want your attention to draw to this verse, extremely. You see that Natural Selection can do
nothing until "
FAVORABLE variations", now my question to you is how do you get favorable variations? If I wanted to be superman, will I become one. NO!. Thus we can conclude that these changes do not happen because ONE wants it to happen. So here we are talking about
"natural" Favorable variations. Look around in the nature that there are
millions of species in the world. Did all of them get "
favorable variation"? Didn't even once a mistake occur, or wasn't favorable? Use some common sense here. I also want you to see that these animals play there part in the OVERALL balance to the best of their ability. Let me show you the balance which I am talking about.
Fish eat plankton (or something like that), and some birds eat Fish.
Now see that the Fish prevent planktons from overflowing and in the same way Birds prevent Fish from over-populating. These creatures are perfect in mantaining this balance.
Here is the verse again.
"Natural Selection can do
NOTHING until
FAVORABLE variations
CHANCE to occur."
Charles Darwin The Origin of Species. 1.ed. p.177
Ok,
IF(HUGE IF) all of the variations were favorable, but that is not all, read the verse again. These "favorable" variations were to occur by "
CHANCE". The word "
CHANCE" screws the theory even more. Basically if Evolution depended on Natural Selection, and Natural Selection depended on "
Favorable" variations which depended on "
CHANCE". Then you can see that the whole theory is depended on "
CHANCE." The "
CHANCE" of "
FAVORABLE" variations.
Let me put it this way. Suppose we are Gambling. Black Jack. Ok.
Dealer=nature
1 card=original specie
2 Card=
chance of variation
Hands(cards)=A new specie
Wins=Evolution Process (suscess)
Loss=Evolution Process (failure)
Ok. Now look
The Dealer dealt the 1st card. I have got a Jack. So I need an Ace to have a blackjack.(Moment of suspense
) Dealer dealt the 2nd card I got an Ace (1 win, new specie). This same process repeated many times, until we reach the number of different species in the world. That would be some million hands. The theory of Evolution WON all the hands because it won all the hands by CHANCE. What do you think is the probability is of winning All the hands in Gambling, when you play Million hands? I am talking about winning ALL the hands, not losing any. I think we all know.
If you were to think of Evolution as the player. Than you can see that Evolution never lost a hand. It always had the benefit of
CHANCE.
Maybe this is not a good example. Just my try to show you the impossiblity of a creature so complex forming by
CHANCES.
I just want you to notice this. That "Favorable variations
CHANCE to occur" is the one of the BUILDING BLOCK of the Theory of EVOLUTION. So basically we are a product of
CHANCES!!!!!!!. Life is so complicated. You believe that it was a BIG CHANCE.
The theory of Evolution is no better than saying
"Some million years ago a tornado blew through a junkyard and by CHANCE it created a MERCEDES. Then every year the tornado came and by CHANCE added new material to the MERCEDES which BY CHANCE evolved it into a model 2000. Then the tornado came again and by CHANCE added new material to the MERCEDES which BY CHANCE evolved it into a model 2001, and this process kept going on, and on, and on."
A lot depending on
CHANCES don't you think?
First of all, a "single" cell is more complex then a Mercedes. If a Mercedes was created by a creator (some person, I don't know), then why do you have a problem believing that life, which is more complex than a mercedes, had a Creator?
