Do you recognize the arguments against evolution? We all know the arguments against creationism but what about problems concerning evolution? Now, the point of this thread is to not shoot down creationism. Stay on topic. Do you have the answers or strong opinions to these problems about evolution? And yes, we don't really have the answers for creationism. But thats a whole other topic. But before I get to the questions/statement, anyone ever read Michael Behe's "Darwin's Black Box?" Michael Behe's "Darwin's Black Box" 1) Evolution does not say how the universe came about. 2) How could living creatures come from non-life? 3) How could new genetic information arise? 4) Where is the proof that apes turned into humans? Now, these questions/statement came from a site. Furthermore, evolutionism is being criticized by the scientific community as time goes on. So whats the deal?

1) Evolution does not say how the universe came about.
What's even the point of this statement, it bears no relevance. Evolution isn't about, and has never been concerned with, where life started from, just how the creatures developed from primitive organisms to more advanced ones, as well as generally how they adapt to a change in their surroundings. 2) How could living creatures come from non-life?
This is stupid. At least it's phrased idiotically. It makes it sound like a fish grew from a rock, it's not like that at all. Billions of years ago the conditions were right, (though we don't exactly know how), current scientists believe small proteins were formed and from this eventually single celled organisms were formed. These developed and evolved, as well as separating and forming different organisms that evolved separately giving rise to new species, and so on and so forth. 3) How could new genetic information arise?
Anyone with a basic Biology understanding could easily answer this. Mutations introduce new genetic material, independent assortment, etc. There are plenty of ways, and I won't bother to go into detail because anyone that cares can do it themselves. 4) Where is the proof that apes turned into humans?
They didn't, anyone that argues this point is an idiot. We share a common ancestor, the proof is in our DNA being genetically similar to theirs by something like 80%. Do a genetic fingerprint on it and see for yourself.
What exactly is the 'problem' with evolution? I really fail to see who these 'scientists' are that challenge evolution more and more. That's new to me. If you think any of the questions you posed are strong arguments, or arguments at all, you need to read some better materials, or perhaps by authors that actually know what they hell they are talking about rather than some self-absorbed moron.

Actually guys, humans ARE apes... I don't think any of you know what you're talking about, especially OP.

1) Evolution does not say how the universe came about. Evolution is not, and was never, a theory of the birth of the universe/ 2) How could living creatures come from non-life? The most plausible theory is that it formed from the forging of proteins (which are compounds like any other) within protective clay shells deep within the oceans at ideal temperatures for the catalyst for reaction to form. 3) How could new genetic information arise? Mutation. Born of the uncertainty principle, or perhaps more realisticly from outside sources tainting the division of cells. 4) Where is the proof that apes turned into humans? Humans are apes. But if you mean, from bonobos or chimpanzees or whatever it is we share common ancestry with, the proof is in archaeology/palaeontology, and the countless numbers of remains showing different stages of evolution.
