Reasons why the theory of evolution is just a belief system

The theory of evolution has nothing to do with science

1. No one of the top scientists in the world has been able to prove evolution by using scientific methods.

True science means observable, repeatable, verifiable and measurable evidence. What kind of evidence does the theory of evolution need? Scientists should be able to show that random occurrence results in increase in biological information that leads to growth of structural or functional complexity of an organism.

This kind of phenomenon has never been observed. A few examples of so called novel structures were observed but they were due to epigenetic regulation of pre-existing biological information, such as rapid adaptation of Italian wall lizards. The reason for their rapid adaptational alterations was diet, that changed from insects to plants. Other examples of 'evolutionary changes' that are touted as clear evidence of evolution in public but were actually caused by epigenetic mechanisms and control are:
  • Blind cave fish
  • Butterfly wing color changes
  • Live birth in three-toed skinks
  • Darwin's finches
  • Owls that are changing plumage color
  • Stickleback fish adaptations

2. Genetic entropy is a biological fact.


The more adaptation and variation an organism experiences, the more genetic degradation happens in its genome. This results in faulty genes, heterochromatin formations in chromosomes, loss of functions, knocked out genes, susceptibility to diseases etc. In nature this can be observed as a huge number of endangered species. Genetic entropy touches also us humans; there are over 561,000 gene-disease associations in human genome at the whole world level but the number of random beneficial mutations is close to zero. Novel germline mutations are in rapid rise.

3. Evolution believers confuse with adaptational change and evolution.
 

Change in organisms is also a biological fact. It tells that organisms have potential to efficiently react and adapt into changing conditions. But adaptation always occurs due to epigenetic mechanisms and factors. At molecular biological level this means switching and regulation between alternative biological programs and it will never lead to any kind of information increase. Instead, errors in DNA typically occur when epigenetic information layers get modified. Organisms experience changes due to environmental input, such as diet, climate, stress factors, sensory stimuli, toxicants etc. Change in organisms is based on mechanisms, not on random mutations or selection.
 
4. The role of DNA is overemphasized
Organisms need the DNA primarily for building functional RNA molecules that mediate signals between cells and environment, encode for proteins or control and regulate cellular processes. Reading and transcription of the DNA is controlled by epigenetic mechanisms and factors. DNA itself is just a passive information library and it has no control over cellular processes. A stem cell has a perfect DNA but no epigenome. That's why it has no task, no identity and no programs needed for cellular differentiation. When an organism experiences adaptation and variation, then the epigenome gets modified. Sometimes this results in DNA errors (mutations).

There are only ~19,000 DNA strands in human genome used for protein encoding but the number of different proteins in a human body is up to several millions. This kind of efficient use of complex but optimal DNA grammar makes it possible for the cell to build a huge number of different mRNAs and proteins from a minimum amount of DNA.

5. Evolution by random chance?


Evolution proponents believe in random chance, but what's the probability of getting 288 amino acids in a perfect order (an average-sized protein molecule is composed of 288 amino acids
)?

It's 1 of 10^300. There are apprx. 10^87 atoms in the whole Universe. THE PROBABILITY OF A PROTEIN BEING FORMED BY CHANCE IS ZERO!

6. Science has a serious replication crisis especially in the fields of biology and chemistry

"According to a 2016 poll of 1,500 scientists reported in the journal Nature, 70% of them failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments (50% failed to reproduce their own experiment). These numbers differ among disciplines:
  • chemistry: 90% (60%),
  • biology: 80% (60%),
  • physics and engineering: 70% (50%),
  • medicine: 70% (60%),
  • Earth and environment science: 60% (40%)."
Summary: Evolution believers are not able to address us scientific evidence for evolution. The theory of evolution has failed.
