Scientific Laws which Crush Evolutionism

The Evolutionary way of seeing things, far from being "good science," is contradicted by the very laws of nature it claims to uphold.

Quantum Mechanics: The "primordial singularity" supposedly containing all the matter and energy in the universe could not have turned into a Big Bang, because it was a singularity (an infinitely small point), and thus any hyper-dimensional expansion would have to have been "ticked off" by an ulterior force. An infinitely small point can have no internal physical properties.

Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy: This law states that "Matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed." Evolutionism requires the creation of the original matter and energy of the universe at the moment of the Big Bang. Under the Evolutionary view, an appeal to hyper-dimensional activity is not allowed. Thus, the universe cannot exist under the Evolutionary model.

Second Law of Thermodynamics: This law points to a low-entropy beginning for the universe, but the Big Bang would have been an extremely high-entropy event (it would had to have been a highly uniform expansion).

Newton's Laws of Motion and Gravitation: Stars cannot form from uniform clouds of dust and gas, let alone from expanding (outward-moving) clouds of dust and gas. Gravity is not strong enough to overcome the inertia of matter on these scales. In fact, gas actually disperses in a vacuum - as simple experimentation demonstrates.

Newton's Laws of Motion and Gravitation: Globular (spherical-shaped) clusters of stars cannot organize themselves from clouds of arbitrarily-arranged stars, let alone expanding (outward-moving) clouds of stars. Again, gravity is not strong enough to overcome the inertia of matter on this scale.

Newton's Laws of Motion and Gravitation: Galaxies cannot come forth from clouds of arbitrarily-arranged stars, let alone expanding (outward-moving) clouds of stars. If gravity is to weak to bring together stars and clusters under the conditions necessitated by the Big Bang, it certainly cannot organize galaxies.

Newton's Laws of Motion and Gravitation: Planets cannot come about from arbitrary arrangements of matter, let alone from a plane of colliding rock and gas ("accretion disc"); the natural tendency of matter is to collide and break down, not pull together (compare the rings of Saturn which are being slowly crushed even under the stabilizing influence of "shepherd moons").

Laws of Chemistry: If free oxygen had existed in the early atmosphere, primordial life would be eradicated by chemical poisoning, but if free oxygen had not existed originally, life would be eradicated by UV rays because ozone (a molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms) could not form. Oxygen must have either existed or not existed in the early atmosphere - either way, life could not have formed. (Note: The Evolutionary position tends to be that oxygen was not prevalent on Earth when life formed.)

Laws of Chemistry: Virtually all the important chemicals in a living cell are long chain polymers. This means that if they originally had contact with water as Evolution states, they would have melted back into simple amino acids and thus never formed into the important proteins and DNA building blocks needed for life.

Laws of Probability: Proteins in cells require the use of solely left-handed molecules in their assembly, so when the first Evolutionary proteins were formed, they would have had to have been created out of a solution of 100% left-handed amino acids, which is essentially impossible even in today's laboratories.

Laws of Probability: The strong nuclear force, the electromagnetic force, and many other systems and constants in the universe are so fine-tuned that if any variation in their nature would occur, the universe would likely become one giant plasma ball. Some Evolutionists have sought to reconcile this problem by appealing to an idea that an infinite number of other universes exist (to allow for more than one "roll of the die" regarding these natural laws). However, the universe by definition includes everything that exists - unless, of course, one borrows from the Biblical worldview and allows exterior creative forces. In which case, why wouldn't we simply accept the existence of God?

Laws of Mathematics: Mutations are observed to be harmful or neutral 99% of the time, and at least half the time a large mutation will kill the organism in which it occurs. There is mathematically not enough time for all the required mutations for all lifeforms to have occurred, even within the millions of years given by the Evolutionary view.

Law of Biogenesis: Louis Pasteur firmly established the fact that "life comes only from life" in 1864. The Evolutionary view contradicts this fact by stating that the first living cell was spontaneously generated from non-living chemicals.

Information Theory: DNA is an communication method including encryption, transcription, deciphering, and re-encrypting. It is a language which had to have been fully developed before it was used by cells in a life-form. It is an information system with a purpose, and thus must have had an intelligent sender. Even if one follows popular New Age thinking and states that DNA was created by space aliens, the problem is only pushed back further - where did the information come from which governed the physical functions of the aliens?

Natural Selection: Complex systems cannot form on their own because if one element of the system formed without the rest, the organism in which it formed would be killed off by Natural Selection before the organism could make use of the unfinished system or reproduce. In other words, the individual element, without the other necessary components, would be a useless drain on the organism's energy. Organisms with extra "partly-developed" systems would be at a competitive disadvantage to organisms which remained in the original state. Thus, no organism would end up with a fully-developed complex system in the long term since each predecessor organism, as each system component was added, would be successively less able to function in the short term.

In reality, Evolutionism does not provide a scientific way to explain origins. It is clear from every observation that the universe and the life it contains must have been created by Something from outside space and time.

Why is it so hard for some to accept the fact that God exists? The root of the "unsolved" nature of the origins debate is not a failure of the Creation side to present evidence, but pride among those who do not believe. The thing which will truly transform their hearts is the Word of God. That is why it is foolish to lay aside the Bible from the origins debate - to do so would be to destroy our greatest weapon.
