Purpose of this subject entry: Discussion on Macro Evolution vs ID is really long and complicated. Check reasons below. But one thing we will argue against with no hesitation is if someone claims that evolution is correct. We'll try to present arguments upon arguments to exhaust this person to tell him how much more faith it requires to believe in Evolution and make such a claim.
1) it is not easily verifiable- we can only make inferences.
2) for all the complexities there are, an Evolutionist’s only backup is that there is “always” a chance for it to happen. When should something be discarded as it approaches improbable numbers?
3) we can’t redo Evolution for it to be believable… there’s problems with the amino acid creation experiment.
Macro Evolution Requirements
1. Each change has to provide some advantage
2. Can only favor changes that aid survival. Animals that don’t have advantage are not picked.
3.
That there are some sections on DNA that
can be changed without causing catastrophe.
Micro Evolution Requirements
That there are some sections on DNA that can be changed without causing catastrophe.
Most real sciences such as physics, chemistry, astronomy, etc, incorporate mathematics in the field. The reason why they are good sciences is that they can predict whether a situation would happen given the certain numerical circumstances.
Evolution has NONE whatsoever. There are no numbers or math to invoke in macro evolution to tell whether a situation would happen under certain circumstances.
It’s really cells controlling the whole body. It’s also the cells that make the brain that gives it control of the other cells. There’s complete cooperation with all cells.
Somehow,
all these cells one day decided to communicate together and say "hey,
let's divide and work together to build an incredible huge system, so that we
can survive. But if you join this union, you have to submit to certain
standards of immune alert codes, hormone regulations, central
nervous commands from the brain, and must work hard every day. If you rebel,
you die, like all the cancer cells!"
There is clearly a morale happening amongst the cells. But what causes that? Random chance?
And why should trillion cells work together? Merely to survive?
And why would it create a being that has its own mind where the mind controls the whole body?
The fact that they work more perfectly together than our modern society is key to show how macro evolution can’t be true.
When babies are created, the trillion cell organization knows about it. The cells somehow map out a place stating that this is a new being we are creating, and we must develop it before it becomes born.
How and Why?
Even worse, when twins are created, two hearts, two brains, two pairs of hands, two of everything are created and separated. But how?
The fact that they work more perfectly together than our modern society is key to show how macro evolution can’t be true.
You need proteins to maintain and manage DNA (to replicate and stuff), but you need DNA to assemble the proteins that work on it. In other words, how does DNA self replicate before its replication “technology” exists? So, like the chicken or the egg problem, which came first?
chemicals are predestined to attract each other
He doubted that proteins can self-assemble.
Amino acids naturally don't have ability to order themselves
If amino acids can’t self assemble, then it needs DNA.
You can't explain how DNA is formed with natural selection because you need DNA to replicate and pass on the information in the first place.

Everyone knows this question. Although it’s taken as a riddle, it is a serious question.
God made all the animals first.
Gen 1:24 And God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds--livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds." And it was so.
Eventually, the egg cell started to become smaller and smaller as the parent cell became bigger.
You must show this first before giving your statement weight.

Current Science says that Eukaryotes first appeared only .5 to 1 billion years ago? From that time to this time, that’s a really small amount of time to evolve into a fully developed human to begin with.
Even if you get a evolution-supported, reproducing DNA, that’s not enough time to generate so much information.
Lots
of animals have the fewest basic abilities to actually live at birth.
Examples:
Baby kittens- being blind and helpless, they know how to feed off of its mother.
Same thing with Kangaroos- being blind and only with strong hind legs, they somehow crawl into the pouch of the mother to feed.
The
coconut is so hard to break and yet its fruit is so sweet and delicious.
Developing (by evolving) the perfect sweetness for human consumption requires it to be used and opened a lot.
But many “primitive” humans do not have the down-to-earth knowledge that a coconut is meant to be eaten, and how to open coconuts.
But somehow, people (including indigenous people) got that knowledge, but from where? Did they assume with induction that all balls grown on trees are fruits?
How to Build a City
Cells
are more than just buildings, they are like cities. Cities are much more complex than just
buildings.
· Must dig and line up water ways, sewage systems, gas lines
· Then line up all the roads requiring that each house be reachable by road
· Then layout property lines and enforce ability to build houses
· Then add electric lines requiring that each house gets access
· Make water/eclectic usage enforcements: set up meters for each house
Within the cells, they do all this.
On top of that, they work as a team to build/function something millions times bigger than them
How to Build a Skyscraper
Building a house or a skyscraper is extremely difficult
1.
requires machines developed by
other massive machines, to develop more machines. Literally, it’s hierarchy of
machines. Includes techniques to build mass producing factories
a.
sawing devices
b.
electricity
c.
huge metal forging
d.
truck hauling of heavy equipment
e.
mass production of cement
2. apparatus instruments (measuring tools) are complex and require special handling in order to work right.
a. Measuring tape (automatic rewinding)
b. Ruler (probably metallic for whether conditions)
c. Laser sighting- to level ground OR strings
d. Pencil or pen
Growing & Expanding Human Bodies
All human bodies grow from very small (quarter’s size) to large. Just as how the human body is difficult to build by itself, to build while being active and expanding is much harder. We don’t do this with buildings, expanding the size of it while it’s still being utilized.
Instead, we have to close off some parts of a facility just to do this. It’s too difficult to have people walk around construction sites to get to their classes because of all the detours. Yet the body knows how to enforce and maintain these detours.
