https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfYaD0c-SAc We know that much of this higher level information that's required for building new tissues and organs and body plans isn't found in DNA. That means that you can mutate DNA indefinitely without respect to probabilistic limits, without respect to time and number of trials and you're never gonna get the kind of form and structure you need to build a new organism. DNA is simply the wrong tool for the job and no amount of time is going to overcome that limitation. That has a really devastating implication for the neo-darwinian mechanism.  If the Darwinian mechanism cannot explain the origin of the information necessary to produce the Cambrian animals, is there any other cause that can? For more than 20 years, Stephen Meyer has explored this fundamental mystery.…

https://youtu.be/G7MILDZgaQA Stromatolites are regarded by many as the oldest fossils on earth. They are interpreted as the remains of colonies of blue-green algae, or more accurately, cyanobacteria. The oldest ones are claimed to be 3.5 billion years old. Within this evolutionary perspective, one would expect these colonies to have radically changed, but remarkably, they are essentially the same today. Stromatolites, therefore, are classic examples of living fossils. Living fossils cause major problems for evolution because they provide stunning examples of how evolution hasn’t occurred. They also call into question the evolutionary timeframe. Some people try to downplay the significance of living fossils by arguing that when something is well adapted to its environment it doesn’t need to change. But this would need the environment to be constant for the supposed…

https://youtu.be/n-A_VPWFpV4 Did you know that part of the geological column is found upside-down in Pakistan? At the foot of the Karakorum Mountains, in the Salt Range Formation, scientists have discovered fossilized plants and insects. From an evolutionary perspective, these remains belong to the upper part of the geological column. However, this formation lies beneath Cambrian rocks, which are supposedly over 400 million years older. So why are the fossils of more complex life buried below fossils considered much more primitive? This is a vexing evolutionary problem. Discoveries such as these support the biblical version of earth history, whereby the geological column is primarily a consequence of the global Flood and its aftermath. It is no surprise that there is some order in the fossil record, such as sea creatures buried…

https://youtu.be/cmGKcWV5Xw8 Most people know that pollen can cause problems for those who suffer from hay fever. But did you know that pollen is also a major problem for the evolutionary interpretation of the fossil record? Since the 1960s, the scientific literature has reported the presence of pollen and spores within a rock layer called the Roraima Formation in South America. This formation is supposedly over 550 million years old, yet according to evolutionary theory, flowering plants that produce pollen didn’t evolve for another 390 million years! So why do we find pollen in the fossil record so long before the first flowering plants appear? The simplest explanation is that the fossil record doesn’t represent the evolution of life on this planet over eons of time, but is better explained as…

https://youtu.be/PmfwZScvLUk Scientists studying fossil 'sea spiders' from 'Jurassic' rock found they are just the same as today's sea spiders. By evolutionary reckoning, that's no change in 160 million years. In that supposed time, evolutionists say, most of the dinosaurs, birds, many fish and virtually all mammals have evolved—all by natural processes. From finches to albatrosses, and mice to elephants—they all made themselves by evolutionary processes. They also say most of the flowering plants evolved too. And yet the sea spiders haven't changed in all that time! Curious isn't it? The Bible tells us in Genesis chapter 1 that God created plants to produce seed according to each kind created. And He created sea life and creeping things 'after their kind' also. This is the most-established principle of biology: that living…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8USBI0GSSOA Darwin's theory, if you think of the branching tree, Darwin's branching tree, the common ancestor down here and the different modern forms of animals up here, you would have one form to begin with and then it would gradually diverge into slightly different forms and more and more different until you get the major differences that we see now. The problem with the Cambrian explosion is that all these major differences appear together at the same time with no fossil evidence that they descended from this common ancestor.  You have a sudden emergence of new biological form and structure and the suddenness of it defies the Darwinian mechanisms. Ability to produce new structure, Darwin believed that his mechanism must act slowly through small gradual incremental changes and as a…

https://vimeo.com/290548930 Do fossils really show that creatures gradually evolved from simple to complex? The late fossil expert and evolution defender Steven Gould recognized they didn't. He said the fossil record shows two clear features. 1. Sudden appearance and 2. Stasis. When a new creature is discovered in the fossil record, it shows up suddenly and fully formed with no gradual forms that let up to it. That's sudden appearance. Then its basic form stays the same. It doesn't evolve. And that stasis. All kinds of fossilized creatures show sudden appearance and stasis including creatures like crinoids, Mosasaurus, beard worms, horseshoe crabs, lobster and trilobites. Rather than gradual evolution, the fossil record shows each animal form suddenly appears. Trilobites have perfectly formed body parts right from the start. They show up…
