Evolutionists believe that life evolved from matter in a random process. Christians argue that it is God who created the universe in a far from random manner. Both views are supported by scientists who offer up evidence for their views. Christian arguments against evolution can sometimes be very subjective and religious in nature when in fact, there is scientific evidence that they could use to back up their claims.
One of the scientific theories Christians use as an argument is that of thermodynamics. They refer to the second law of thermodynamics which states that complex systems become simpler and less orderly over time. This law contradicts the contention of evolutionists that progress occurs over time and systems go from being more simple to more complex and more ordered than disordered.
The randomness of the process that evolutionists espouse is a problem for Christians. There are scientists too who concede that intelligent design seems to be the most satisfactory way to explain the complexities of life in all its forms. Christians also argue that the idea of systems evolving bit by bit does not make sense. The reproductive system, for example, would need to be complete and fully functioning in order for reproduction to occur.
Evolutionists use fossil remains as the primary evidence that humans developed from primates. Christians argue that subjectivity influences the interpretation of the significance of various fossils and even the determination of how old they are. They argue that the chain from simple to more complex is not unbroken and gaps exist that cannot be adequately explained.
Evolutionists believe that mutations or changes in genetic makeup create the new genes necessary for progress. They argue for natural selection whereby those most adapted to their circumstances survive. Christians argue that mutation does not create new genetic material. In fact many negative things such as diseases are a result of genetic mutation.
The complexity of human DNA is used by many Christians as an argument. They say it is impossible to believe that its construction is not the work of an intelligent Creator. A number of scientists believe it to be unlikely or highly improbable for life to have arisen spontaneously from matter. They acknowledge that the only satisfactory explanation is intelligent design.
Molecular biology is a field that has provided fuel for Christians. Dr. Michael Denton conducted tests in order to compare the same cells in different species. He compared the make-up of the amino acids in these different organisms. His conclusion was that the results did not support the theories of traditional evolutionists of first fish, then amphibian, reptile and finally mammal.
Numerous different arguments are used by Christians to support their belief in God as the Creator of the universe. The basis of this belief is what they read in the Bible. Evolutionists feel that because of this belief, they distort facts to support their belief. However, there are numerous well regarded scientists too who support the idea of intelligent design rather than random chance.
