No. The point of my presentation on fossils is to demonstrate that the transitional fossils which would prove macroevolution are lacking. So, to imagine that fossils have proven evolution is a false impression. [Read more…]
What is the likelihood that a plant or animal becomes a fossil when it dies?
Fossil formation is a rare event. The fact that fossils are not being formed today under uniformitarian conditions, clearly suggests that the many fossils that we do find in the sediments must be the result of catastrophic burial such as would result from the biblical global flood.
Whether a plant or animal dies on land or sea, the usual scenario is for the body to be eaten or rotted away. Only rapid burial can preserve and fossilize it. That rarely happens under conditions that exist today.
Is it true that Darwin changed his mind about his theory of evolution before he died?
No. Neither Darwin nor his family ever said or wrote anything about that. In all probability and without any evidence for that, it is doubtful that he did.
Can Darwin’s “survival of the fittest” be considered a part of the original creation?

The survival of the fittest includes sickness and predation which lead to death. [Read more…]
What are the most misunderstood perceptions of the subject of creation and evolution in the minds of people today?
There are several misunderstandings, but two stand out.
First, evolution is perceived as being the scientific position with real evidence from real scientists. Creation is perceived to be what religious people hold based on tradition and the Bible. This is no longer true (see this related question). Both positions are now based on observations of the natural world, i.e., science. [Read more…]
