Claim CA510.1:

Problems with evolution are evidence for creationism.

Response:

  1. This claim assumes that creation and evolution are the only two possible models, which is quite false. Many other models, scientific and otherwise, have been proposed.

    Problems even with all but one of the models do not imply that the remaining model is true. Another alternative is that another as-yet unknown explanation is correct.

  2. If the claim is true, its converse should be true for the same reason. Are creationists prepared to accept problems with creationism (which are legion) as evidence for evolution?

  3. Most so-called problems with evolution are not problems at all. Most of this web site is devoted to showing why.
