Charles Darwin characterized his idea as a "rag of an hypothesis with as many flaws and holes as sound parts."  The guru of evolutionism  worried "I...have devoted my life to a phantasy." 

He had reasons to worry!

The Dynamic Genome
The term "evolution" is an oxymoron.  The reality of genetic adaptability, doesn't equate with Darwin's fantasy.  Every prototype genome possesses inherent genetic adaptability that assures a kaleidoscope of descendant diversity.  Some public minds mistakenly confuse the reality of nature's genetic dynamism with evolutionism's make-believe.

Human DNA carries 3+ billion base pairs.  Two human parents possess the capacity to produce 70 trillion variations in their children.  Darwin's Galapagos finches produced offspring endowed with different shaped beaks - but 21^st century Galapagos finches still fly as finches!  Fruit flies, subjected to laboratory induced mutations, may add or subtract wings and legs but continue producing fruit flies, ad infinitum - never butterflies nor dragonflies! Extrapolation doesn't mend the "flaws" and "holes" of Darwin's "rag of an hypothesis."

Big Bang!
The origin of matter by an explosion in empty nothingness an alleged fifteen billion years ago baffles. Something from nothing?  Billions of cosmic bodies carving predictable orbits originating in an explosion?   Since when does a horrendous explosion create order - floating in  space?  Darwin avoided attempting to explain the origin of inorganic matter or the process of the first appearance of organic life from non-life.

Spontaneous Generation
Nineteenth century, primitive wisdom mistakenly viewed single-celled, organic life forms as "simple." A blob of protoplasm!  In reality, a living cell is vastly more complex than the most sophisticated man-designed mechanism.  No human laboratory has duplicated what random chance allegedly accomplished in some still unidentified, "prebiotic soup." No evidence exists that original life defied impossible odds to create itself by spontaneous generation.  NEVER!!!

Random Chance Odds
The odds of random chance generating an ecologically unique environment essential to produce and sustain organic life on Planet Earth is mathematically less likely than 6-billion blindfolded humans simultaneously solving a Rubik cube puzzle---three times in a row.

Amino-Acid Building Blocks are Not Ambidextrous
A cell's proteins require "left-handed," amino-acid building blocks. DNA & RNA use only "right-handed" building blocks.  Natural forms come in a 50-50 mixture.  Evolutionism's random chance explains neither the cause nor the discriminating process that mandates selection of left-handed v. right-handed building blocks. 

Information
The specific kind of life reproduced by each genome is shaped by the information packed into the genes of each microscopic cell.  Evolutionism does not account for the original source of that information vested in the dynamic genome of evolutionism's first ever cell from its beginning..  

Intelligent Design
Homo sapiens have coexisted with now extinct, ape-like species but fossil evidence alone has yet to prove linkage to a "common ancestor."  No scholar suggests the Mount Rushmore presidential profiles were carved by nature's winds and rains. Regardless, neo-Darwinism insists the living, human models for that granite sculpture evolved coincidentally from an ancestor molecule---without intelligent design or designer.  Evolutionism's dogma, allegedly the product of human intelligence, illogically rejects intelligent cause and process in the origin of all life.

Mutations
Mutations, genetic mistakes, the alleged engines driving evolutionism, are rarely beneficial. Mutations usually degrade the genome and trigger information loss.  These genetic defects do not introduce new information to the gene code. Nor do genetic defects represent an incremental step in a mythical leap to some radical new organism. Variety potential, inherent within the dynamic genome assures genetic adaptability but not some quantum leap to some radically new prototype life.  Neo-Darwinism ignores this scientific reality and relies on billions of mutations, combined with natural selection, as the source of every kind of life on earth after that first life cell.

Natural Selection
Counting on natural selection to combine with mutations to produce the engine of evolutionary change, creates a major league dilemma:  the exact opposite results.  Thanks to natural selection, mutations tend to be weeded out rather than serve as a conduit for the development of an entirely new life-systems!!! 

Inflated Time
Without mega-chunks of time, evolutionism bites the dust as just another fictional whim.  Radiometric dating's anomalous results raise red flags. Washington State's Mount St. Helens blew its top in 1980.  Radiometric dating of the event produced conflicted results ranging from 340,000 years before the present to as long ago as 2,800,000 years BP.  Assertions as to the age of the earth deserve caveats.  

Without those mega-chunks of time, mega-evolution qualifies as so much wishful thinking.  But with those chunks of time, where are the billions and billions of people that by now would be walking on each other's toes?  Two thousand years ago, an estimated 100 million Homo sapiens lived on Planet Earth.  Thanks to geometric progression, the numbers have spiked radically with an estimated 6 billion of the human family on hand who welcomed the 21^st century!  If the earth is even 100,000 years old, where are all the people that would be bursting the seams of the planet if the past can be measured by the present? 

Abrupt Appearance
Contrary to the gradual, incremental "progress toward perfection" conjectured by Darwin's mega-evolution, thousands of fully formed, intelligently designed and irreducibly complex life forms appeared abruptly, simultaneously and world-wide, without persuasive fossil evidence of prior ancestry.  This Cambrian Explosion defies the anchor premise of Darwinian conjecture.

Stasis
Following this across-the-board sudden appearance of thousands of distinctly different kinds of life, descendants of these unique life forms continue to inhabit planet earth, virtually unchanged.  Undeterred by mega chunks of deep time conjectured by evolutionism, bacteria continue to generate bacteria, fish produce fish, and apes parent apes.  Coelacanths still swim in marine waters and Wollemi pines still grow on land.

Missing Transitionals
Evolutionism requires billions of incremental steps to bridge the gaping genetic chasms between organic prototypes: single cell-to-fish-to- amphibian-to-reptile-to-bird and mammal and eventually, to-man. After billions of fossil discoveries, where is the evidence of Darwin's "...innumerable transitional forms..."?  Certainly not in today's living natural world.  As to the miniscule number of fossil forms categorized as "transitional," they represent just another extinct species.  So-called "intermediates" carry the label because an evolutionist has declared it, not because of irrefutable proof of genetic linkage as between old bones. Neither homology nor morphology equates genealogy.

Irreducible Complexity
A partially evolved body part would render any alleged "transitional" severely handicapped.  A critter saddled with an appendage half-leg and half-wing couldn't fly or walk efficiently. An incrementally evolving eye would hardly contribute to fitness or survival.  Dr. Michael Behe illustrated the problem by referencing a simple mousetrap with a single missing part---no mouse need fear, the trap couldn't function!

Entropy
The second law of thermodynamics doesn't track with Darwin's speculative "progress toward perfection." Given 4.55 billion years, the 2^nd Law of Thermodynamics impacts the precise opposite of what evolution requires.  Entropy's deterioration and decline is the inevitable consequence in nature.  Homo sapiens age, grow weak and die; trees lose their leaves and die; cars rust; buildings crumble; mountains erode.

Cataclysm
Many extinct species disappeared abruptly, victims of violent, hydraulic  cataclysm, rather than from the encroachment of newly-evolving descendants eliminating "inferior" ancestors as per Darwin's speculations. Numerous surviving species, still living today, escaped extinction, showing little modification from their fossil ancestors.

World View
Evolution is less than "science;" it's a secular religion.  An atheist and devoted disciple of Darwinian faith, describes evolution as "...a full fledged alternative to Christianity...Evolution is a religion.  This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution today." (Michael Ruse, "Saving Darwin from the Darwinians," National Post, May 13, 2000, p. B-3.)

Bottom Line
Religion is built on faith in the unseen.  Unlike evolutionism's blind faith in random chance, faith in the Master Designer is based on rational reason.  Life comes only from life.  The God who placed the sun, moon, stars and planets in cosmic orbit is the Author of all life on Planet Earth.  "By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made; their starry host  by the breath of His mouth...He spoke, and it came to be.  He commanded, and it stood firm." (Psalms 33: 6, 9.)
