It is time to look at the facts about the origin of life. It seems that there are two possibilities; either we evolved from one animal to the next, or we were created, each animal to it's own design.

     The theory of evolution states that all life came from a chance formation of a single cell and began to change into more and more complex creatures, all the way up to man. This process would have to include the mutation of cells into specialized tissues that would each carry out a particular job for the community of cells that make up complex life forms.

     Creation states that all life came into being from the will of a creator, each with specific design in them that would replicate it’s self over and over without changing from one animal to the next. This is something that all living creatures do. (Intelligent design is the minimal admission that there must have been some sort of design in the formation of all forms of life.)

     Some would want to introduce a third possibility of life on earth, and say that our planet was "seeded" by an alien race from another planet, but that does not explain where they came from, so this idea is pointless.

     Cross breading is out of the question. Only animals that are the same kind can crossbreed and result in a wide verity of offspring, but dogs can not breed with cats.

     If we look at fossil records, we find that all fossils can be sorted into discreet categories. We find no fossils that show slight changes from one creature to the next. The fact is, there would have to be millions of more fossils showing the slight changes, so many, in fact, that the evidence of evolution would be overwhelming if it were true. The real fossil records show that animals showed up suddenly, and not over a long period of time.     

     Here is a thought experiment to give us a better picture of the evidence we have. Let’s take all the fossils and mix them up and bury them. Now lets start digging them up and sorting them out. Every time we find a fossil, we will begin a pile, but make sure that the piles are far enough apart to allow the millions of years of evolution to fill in the gaps. Each fossil we find goes in a particular pile, or will begin a new pile with more of the same animals to follow. We end up with separated piles that are really far apart from each other because all the fossils that should prove evolution are missing. If evolution were true, we would have a continuos pile of slightly changing animals and it would be hard to place each fossil to its exact position in the process. There would also be millions of times more fossils. With the evidence we really have, not finding the missing fossils would be like picking all the red M&M's from a swimming pool, blindfolded, and never finding any other color of M&M. The fact is that there are no fossils showing change from one animal to the next and therefore, there is no evidence for the theory of evolution.

     The evolutionists have always been frustrated by the fact that there is no evidence at all to back up their claims. This lack of evidence is what led to the little talked about theory of "The Hopeful Monster" which states that there were sudden changes in life, in that whole new animals would emerge from other life forms. The most famous argument is that a bird was hatched from the egg of a lizard, an animal built to fly born from a reptile. The reason you do not hear about this theory is that it is even more unlikely than the theory of evolution. We must remember too, that evolution is still referred to as a theory because it has never been proven. (On the other hand, many of Einstein's theories regarding relativity are no longer theory because we have found evidence to prove that they are true. GPS satellites would be off by miles without Einstein's calculations)     

     Evolution and the hopeful monster theory both state that animals had to change form one to the next. For the sake of argument, lets assume that either theory were true. For it to work, these conditions would be required.

      1.  An exact same mutation in both a female and a male animal would have to come into existence within each other's lifetime.

      2. The two mutations would have to be near enough to find each other to propagate the new animal.

      3. This would have to happen for every animal that ever existed, including plants.

     It is claimed that survival of the fittest filtered out the mutations that would not make a good animal. It is also claimed by evolution that lizards mutated into birds. Imagine an animal with two legs in back and two short useless stumps that can neither grasp or fly. What we do know is that when mutations happen, they always result in malformation that is detrimental to the animal.

     It is obvious that there is great design in every part of living creatures. Our eyes are amazing. It is what we model our cameras after. How is any mindless, unconscious process going to come up with a precision device for detecting light, shape and colors, much less, two of them so we can see in 3D?
