The Standard Human Evolution Story vs. the Facts

Posted by -

This time, I am going to take you along a different trail. It is a series of articles from an Intelligent Design site worth considering. The ID movement has some serious limitations, but they do some good work in showing design (obviously) and flaws in evolution.

When talking to typical evolution supporters, they often repeat material from secular news releases. We have seen that the press is often disingenuous and exceeds what evolutionary scientists actually claim. Darwin's acolytes claim to have mountains of evidence, but evolutionary scientists know otherwise.

Evolution supporters often repeat stories, but the facts show very incomplete evidence for evolution, such as Ardipithecus ramidus. There are also disputes about ancestral candidates.

One sidewinder actually said that human evolution is complete and has no gaps. That's the guy who gets quoted by evolution supporters who deny the Creator, but he's at odds with the majority of experts. That's right, there are disputes about evolution and major flaws in candidates for our ancestors are known. Unfortunately, people are impressed by initial reports, not corrections that are made on occasion.

People can read evolutionary textbooks and visit natural history museums. What do those contain? For one thing, profitable entertainment. Also, there are far more reconstructions and artists' conceptions than actual evidence. Quite often, more parts of our alleged evolutionary ancestors in those displays are assumptions, so the evidence is fundamentally flawed. We were created in the image of God. Darwin was not consulted.

Okay, here is the series. Each is relatively short, so you can read them at your convenience. Also, this material is not overly technical:
