25 things that DON'T DISPROVE Evolution

We know there's a lot of evidence in support of evolution. Often, Christians like to offer evidence that evolution is wrong. It never works.

And here's just a short list of things that don't disprove evolution:

-- Your inability to see big changes over the course of your lifetime.
-- Irreducible Complexity or, as I like to call it, ignorance
-- Our inability to create life from scratch. That has nothing to do with evolution.
-- Ken Ham
-- The improbable odds of us being here today
-- Supposed missing links. You're never going to find every fossil. You work with the evidence you have. Missing links don't disprove evolution. But links definitely support evolution!
-- The Bible
-- Your pastors telling you otherwise
-- Christian "science" "textbooks"
-- Eugenics
-- Crocoducks not existing
-- Stupid catchphrases like evolutionists believe we went from Goo through the Zoo to You. Yes, that rhymes. No, it doesn't make evolution sound crazy. It makes YOU sound childish.
-- Bad analogies. Like the watchmaker argument, The only way a watch could've been made is with a designer. Therefore, YOU had to have a designer. Yes, they're both complicated. But that doesn't mean they were both designed. Humans and watches don't work the same way... we reproduce, we have body parts we don't need, we evolved without a blueprint. It's a bad analogy
-- The phrase "the theory of evolution," as of theory negates all the evidence of it.
-- The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics
-- All the other laws of thermodynamics
-- The continued existence of monkeys
-- Bananas.
-- The Flintstones -- it's not a documentary.
-- The Creation Museum.
-- A child being the same species as its parents
-- A theoretical deathbed conversion by Darwin. It didn't happen, but even if it did, it wouldn't matter.
-- Darwin -- or any scientist -- being wrong about the details. Scientists make mistakes. But they move in the right direction. Our theories get better over time.
-- Showing that carbon dating isn't accurate. There are many ways to justify evolution. Knocking down one of them doesn't hinder the strength of the theory in the least.

And the final thing that fails to disprove evolution?

-- You not understanding it. It turns out the people who say evolution isn't real... can't even properly explain what evolution is.

Maybe if they picked up a book -- that's not the Bible -- they would learn something.

We know there is a lot of evidence in support of evolution

But a lot of the time creationists try to throw thing into your direction

to try to show you that evolution is wrong.

And it never works.

So let's find out a quick list of things
that don't disprove evolution.

Your inability to see big changes in species over the course of a lifetime.

Irreducible complexity.
Or as I like to call it: Ignorance.

Our inability to create life from scratch.

That actually has nothing to do with evolution.

Ken Ham

The improbably odds
of us being here today.

Supposed missing links.

You never gonna find every fossil.

You work with the evidence that you have.

Missing links do not disprove evolution.

But the links we have found
have supported evolution overwhelmingly.

The Bible

Your pastor telling you evolution is not true.

Christian "science" text books.

The idea of eugenics.

Crocoducks not existing.

And if you don't know what I'm talking about

just look it up and search for Kirk Cameron while you are at it.

Stupid catch phrases like:

'Evolution is the belief that we went from the goo through the zoo to you'

Yes, that rhymes.

No, that doesn't make evolution seem silly.

It makes you sound childish.

Bad analogies.

Like the watchmaker argument.

Like: 'Oh that is a complicated watch,
it must have had a designer.

You're complicated
so you must have had a designer.'

Yes, they are both complicated.

But that doesn't mean either of both is designed.

We are not the same.
We reproduce.

We have body parts we don't need.

We were made without a blue print.

It is just a bad analogy.

The phrase: 'the theory of evolution'.

As if the word 'theory' negates everything after it.

The second law of thermodynamics.

All the other laws of thermodynamics.

A continued existence of monkeys.

Bananas. Again, just look up Kirk Cameron on that one.

The Flintstones. It's not a documentary.

The Creation Museum.

A child being the same species as its parents.

A theoretical deathbed recantation of evolution by Charles Darwin.

It didn't happen. But even if it did it wouldn't matter.

Darwin, or any scientist, being wrong about the details.

Scientists make mistakes.

But the idea of science is that those theories get better over time.

Saying that carbon dating is inaccurate.

Which by the way is not true at all.

But even it were true...

Even if carbon dating was inaccurate,

there are so many ways we justify evolutionary thinking

that knocking one supposed way down,

it would not hinder the strength of evolution in the least.

And the final thing that fails to disprove evolution?

You not understanding it.

It turns out, the people who say evolution isn't true

probably can not explain to you what it is in the first place.

Maybe if they've picked up a book,
that is not the bible,

they may actually learn something.
