A Proof of God for Your Friend

People who don't believe in God believe in Darwin. But evolution doesn't explain it all.

Show your friends some counterexamples, and make them reconsider their assumptions.

For example, consider the eye. Evolution might give one animal better night vision than another, and "Survival Of The Fittest" will kick in.

But evolution can't provide the first eye. There are just too many parts minimally required for the most primitive eye. You need a lens (if only a...

People who don't believe in God believe in Darwin. But evolution doesn't explain it all.

Show your friends some counterexamples, and make them reconsider their assumptions.

For example, consider the eye. Evolution might give one animal better night vision than another, and "Survival Of The Fittest" will kick in.

But evolution can't provide the first eye. There are just too many parts minimally required for the most primitive eye. You need a lens (if only a pinhole), a retina, an optic nerve to keep all the pixels straight, a brain with pattern recognition and a hundred other parts.

One part cannot arrive by itself and wait a million years for the next part to arrive. Why would there be a lens without a retina? Why would there be a retina without an optic nerve? And so on.

You need it ALL, all at once, or you would have a system that just did not work. And without an inventor or engineer, there would be nobody to figure out what went wrong and fix the problem. You would only be able to wait a million years for the next stab at a complete system.

One animal with a partial vision system that did not work would have no advantage over another animal with no vision at all.

Look inside and see why evolution doesn't even explain taller giraffes and faster cheetahs!

As Spock said on StarTrek, "If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

Eliminate evolution, and force your friends to reconsider their assumptions.
