How do you explain the genetic and fossil evidence? How do you explain that humans share about 97% DNA with chimpanzees?
The variety of automobiles made by intelligent human beings share a similar ‘DNA’ but they have not evolved one from the other. By analogy, we can with perfect reason assume that God who has infinite knowledge and power created or made all the variety of animals, which obviously are composed of a much greater complex of ‘machinery’ than automobiles, directly and immediately and independently of each other. Furthermore, we observe in the world that tigers only beget tigers, horses only beget horses, dogs only beget dogs, and so on.
Macroevolution has never been observed and it is quite impossible to observe even if it was actually happening due to the supposed hundreds of thousands and millions of years it takes.
In comparing the two explanations of the origin of species I have presented here in a quite condensed fashion, the evidence or ‘greater reason’ favors
creation as this is based on two certain observed facts (the variety of automobiles which share a similar ‘DNA’ made independently from each other by intelligent humans and tigers only breeding tigers, etc.) as well as an indisputable truth concerning God, namely, that he can do it, i.e., He can immediately create any animal or plant out of nothing at once if He so pleases ( I actually believe God created and formed the various kinds or species of animals and plants from matter he previously created, the earth and water as Genesis 1 relates but involving as well other elemental substances or compounds which we now understand to exist on earth). A fourth piece of evidence and certainly not inferior to the prior three but confirming the analogy I drew concerns the apparent literal testimony of God himself, that is, Holy Scripture, the word of God.
On the other hand, macroevolution theory is founded on
zero certain observational facts. Now, one can go on
believing that macroevolutionary theory offers an explanation of the origin species. But based on the few certain facts I have presented here, this would not be because of the evidence but in spite of the evidence and this last would include the fossil record.
