Questions for Evolutionists

Testing the Theory of Evolution

  The test of any theory is. Does it provide answers to basic questions? Some well- meaning, but misguided people think evolution is a reasonable theory to explain man's questions about the universe. Evolution is not a good theory-it is just a pagan religion masquerading as science.

The following questions were distributed to the 750-plus people who attended my (Dr. Kent Hovind) debate at the Owatonna State University in Owatonna, Minnesota, on January 9, 1993. New questions are added to this list from time to time.

 

1.Where did the space for the universe come from?
 2.Where did matter come from?
 3.Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?
 4.How did matter get so perfectly organized?
 5.Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?
 6.When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?
 7.When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?
 8.With whom did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?
 9.Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since
   this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of
   survival? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species,
   or both? How do you explain this?)
10.How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new,
   improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce
   chinese books.)
11.Is it possible that similarities in design between different animals
   prove a common Creator instead of a common ancestor?
12.Since natural selection only works with the genetic information
   available and tends only to keep a species stable, how do you explain
   increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occurred if
   evolution is true?
13.When, where, why, and how did
 a.Single-celled plants become multi-celled? (Where are the two- and
    three-celled intermediates?)
 b.Single-celled animals evolve?
 c.Fish change to amphibians?
 d.Amphibians change to reptiles?
 e.Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes,reproductive
    organ heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very
    different!)
 f.How did the intermediate forms live?
14.When, where, why, how, and from what did
 a.Whales evolve?
 b.Sea horses evolve?
 c.Bats evolve?
 d.Eyes evolve?
 e.Ears evolve?
 f.Hair, skin, feathers, scales, nails, claws, etc., evolve?
15.Which evolved first (how, and how long, did it work without the others)?
 a.The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the
    ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body's
    resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)?
 b.The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce?
 c.The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the
    perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs?
 d.DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts?
 e.The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest
    the cellulose?
 f.The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants?
 g.The bones,ligaments,tendons,blood supply muscles to move the bones?
 h.The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system?
 I.The immune system or the need for it?
16.There are many thousands of examples of symbiosis that defy an
   evolutionary explanation. Why must we teach students that evolution is
17.How would evolution explain mimicry? Did the plants and animals
   develop mimicry by chance, by their intelligent choice, or by design?
18.When, where, why, and how did man evolve feelings? Love, mercy,  guilt,etc.would never    evolve in the theory of evolution. 
19.How did photosynthesis evolve?
20.How did thought evolve?
21.How did flowering plants evolve, and from what?
22.What kind of evolutionist are you? Why are you not one of the other
   eight or ten kinds?
23.What would you have said fifty years ago if I told you I had a living
   coelacanth in my aquarium?
24.Give one clear prediction of macroevolution that has proved true.
25.Explain why the idea of hydrogen gas becoming people is scientific, not religious.
26.Do you honestly believe that everything came from nothing?

   After you answer the above questions, please look carefully
   at your answers and thoughtfully consider these questions.

 1.Are you sure your answers are reasonable, right, and scientifically
   provable or do you just believe that it may have happened the way you have    answered? (Do    these answers reflect your religion or your science?)
2.Do your answers show more or less faith than the person who says, "God
   must have designed it"?
 3.Is it possible that an unseen Creator designed this universe? If God is
   excluded at the beginning of the discussion by your definition of science,
   how could it be shown that He did create the universe if He did?
 4.Is it wise and fair to show students only the theory of evolution and
   teach them that it is a fact?
 5.What is the end result of a belief in evolution (lifestyle, society,
   attitude about others, eternal destiny, etc.)?
 6.Could it be that people accept evolution because of some of the
   following factors?
 a.It is all they have been taught.
 b.They like the freedom from God (no moral absolutes, etc.).
 c.They are bound to support the theory for fear of losing their job
   or status or grade point average.
 d.They are too proud to admit they are wrong.
 e.They know that evolution is the only philosophy that can be used to
    justify their political agenda.
 7.Should we continue to use outdated, disproved, questionable, or
   inconclusive evidences to support the theory of evolution because we
   don't have a suitable substitute (Piltdown man, recapitulation
   theory, archaeopteryx, lucy, Java man, Neanderthal man, etc.)?
 8.Should parents be allowed to require that evolution not be taught as
   fact in their school system unless equal time is given to other theories
   of origins (like divine creation)?
 9.What are you risking if you are wrong? As one of my debate opponents
   said, "Either there is a God or there is not. Both possibilities are
   frightening."
10.Why are so many evolutionists so afraid of the idea of creationism being
   presented in public schools? If we are not supposed to teach religion
   in schools, then why not get evolution out of the textbooks? It is just
   a religious worldview.
11.Aren't you tired of faith in a system that cannot be true? Wouldn't it
   be great to know the God who made you, and accept His love and
   forgiveness?
12.Would you be interested if I showed you from the Bible how to have your
   sins forgiven and how to know for sure that you are going to Heaven? If
   so, e-mail us from the home page of this web site.

 

   Dr. Kent Hovind, "After teaching high school science for fifteen years, my deep concern for the fact that students were being deceived by the lie of evolution led me to establish Creation Science Evangelism. I now travel and speak over 700 times each year on this vital subject. I would be glad to present (in person to any group of interested people) my fully-documented material on the subjects of creation, evolution, proofs that the earth is not "billions of years old," the hoax of the geologic column, unreliable carbon-dating, and dinosaurs."
