I fully believe in a creature's ability to adapt; but when it's taught that entirely new species form from other species, I personally am not too quick to believe this. Darwin taught his evolution on the concept of survival of the fittest. If apes turned into humans, then, why do apes still exist at all since they are the inferior, less "fit" species? Additionally, if macroevolution has occurred, then we would see some creatures in mid-transformation; for example, apes in mid-evolution from ape to human. So from what I see, there are unforgiveable flaws in the theory. Additionally, evolution was hoped to be an explanation for the initiation of life and the existence of the universe as well, but it fails to provide any reasonable theory. The main thought was that lightning struck mud to stimulate life. This was basically disproved as a possibility, and it still doesn't explain where the lightning - let alone the rest of the universe - came from. As for the big bang theory, unless I'm mistaken, this is meant to directly conflict with the Creation theory - a way to explain creation while excluding God from the equation. It discounts any form of intelligent design, stating the world was created by chance from nothing. |
@1st Para: Macro-evolution is Micro-evolution over time, you have to consider the vast time scales involved, there is no "mid-evolution", the process is very gradual. Apes didn't evolve into humans, humans and apes share a common ancestor. These aren't unforgiveable flaws in the theory, these are misconceptions you have about the theory.
@2nd Para: Evolution doesn't try to explain how life or the universe began, just how life evolves after it's started. Google "abio-genesis" for how life starts. All evolution explains is how organisms change over time, it has nothing else to do with how the universe works, so I have no idea why you expect it to.
@3rd Para: The big bang doesn't exclude a higher power. Creation isn't a scientific theory, it's not even close to being qualified as one. The Big Bang theory doesn't state that the universe was formed form nothing nor does it suggest the universe was formed by chance. It simply happened. We aren't sure why yet, but it did.
I don't mean to be rude, but I would advise you to research topics before trying to criticize them.
