Creation Moment 11/9/2018 - Kleptomanic Darwinism

"Darwinism is modern secular biology’s all-encompassing worldview to explain every observation in biology. But Darwin (using his name as a synecdoche for his modern disciples) is a kleptomanic. He steals observations that have nothing to do with his theory, or even oppose it. Then he twists them into support for his theory. He can’t lose.


Darwinian evolution is supposed to refer to the origin of new species by means of natural selection. That was in the title of Darwin’s book. There are two ways Darwinians can claim that “nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.” One is to make evolution refer to every change of every kind – no matter what caused it. The other way is to redefine “sense” to encompass nonsense. Here we will see examples of both.

Crashing waves may have spurred the evolution of backbones (New Scientist). Crashing waves have no power to create backbones. Besides, most evolutionists believe that the chordate ancestors of vertebrates originated deep in the sea during the Cambrian explosion. For support of his incongruous headline, reporter Lucas Joel leans on Lauren Sallan of the University of Pennsylvania, who examined 3,000 “early” fish fossils. Fish diversity and habitats, however, have nothing to do with Darwinian evolution, unless one is willing to perform divination on bones with the power of suggestion.

This is a bit of a surprisebig evolutionary steps are usually associated with biodiversity hotspots, such as coral reefs. But the data suggests that the evolutionary events that helped fill the seas with fishes occurred in shallow, salt-water environments like tidal areas and lagoons.
Those environments may have encouraged the evolution of vertebrates because their bones helped them withstand swirling or crashing waves in shallow water environments, suggests Sallan.
 
If crashing waves spurred the evolution of backbones, why are most tide pool animals invertebrates?
 
Bacteria’s password for sporulation hasn’t changed in 2.7 billion years (Astrobiology Magazine). If this story is about non-evolution, then it is not about evolution. Here is a phenomenon that has escaped the implacable force of Darwinian change for nearly 3 billion years. But it’s worse than that. It’s about change going in the wrong direction:
It was surprising, because traditionally we think about evolution going from simple to complex,” said Durand. But there are more and more examples of evolution going in the other direction, from complex to simple.
Such ‘evolution’ looks more like de-evolution, admits Dannie Durand of Carnegie Mellon, but he gets to call it “evolution” anyway. The e-word evolution appears seven times in this short article. Evolution can go forward, backward, and sideways, or just sit there (19 Dec 2007). Such a “scientific explanation” could explain anything, even opposite outcomes." CEH
