Creation Bullet Series: Destroying Darwinism, One Bullet at a Time
“The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.” — 1 Corinthians 3:19
Original Creation Bullet by Bill Nowers:
Shades of Evolution
Darwin started it, the intentional blurring of microevolution into a belief of macroevolution. Darwin collected hundreds of specimens during his two year voyage on the H.M.S. Beagle. How many of these specimens were indicative of macroevolution? If you guessed none, correct, go to the head of the class. Even Darwin’s most famous specimens, the finches, did not show the slightest indication of being anything but finches.
Darwin confused survival of the fittest with macroevolution. Survival of the fittest is true for two reasons. First, it is circular reasoning. Who are the fittest? The ones that survive. Who are the ones that survive? The fittest. It is also common sense. Of course the species, or individuals within a species, that are best suited to the environment or existing conditions will tend to survive more often than those less suited.
But this has nothing to do with evolution. Macroevolution would require offspring with new genetic information, not present in either parent. This would have to be through some kind of mutation at the cellular level. Darwin knew nothing about microscopic complexity of living cells, or he might have presented a completely different theory.
A mutation is nothing more than a mistake in a cell’s reproduction. To think that an accidental mistake, repeated hundreds of thousands of times in succession, over millions of years, could lead to the amoeba to man evolution is nothing less than a fantasy. But what choice does a poor evolutionist have? Either believe this fantasy or give up being an atheist. This, most will not do.
Bill Nowers
The origin of life could only have occurred through the acts of an omniscient creator. “In the Beginning God created,” is the best statement on the origin of life.
Darwin didn’t just propose a theory—he proposed a confusion of categories that still clouds the minds of scientists, educators, and students today. In this Creation Bullet, Bill Nowers pulls back the curtain on one of the most enduring errors of evolutionary teaching: the blurring of microevolution (small changes within a kind) into macroevolution (the claim that one kind becomes another).
From Finch Beaks to Fabricated Fiction
Charles Darwin’s voyage on the H.M.S. Beagle yielded hundreds of observations—but not a single example of one kind of creature becoming another. His famous finches remained, and still remain, just finches. The variation in their beaks represented adaptation, not transformation. But Darwin and his followers treated these natural variations as evidence for molecules-to-man evolution.
This bait-and-switch is the heart of modern evolutionary propaganda. When pressed for examples of macroevolution, evolutionists point to micro-level changes, like antibiotic resistance or bird beaks. But these examples never demonstrate new genetic information, which is essential for macroevolution to occur.
Survival of the Fittest: Circular and Hollow
“Survival of the fittest” is often paraded as deep insight—but it’s logically empty. The fittest are defined as those who survive, and those who survive are called the fittest. That’s circular reasoning dressed up as science. While it may describe a real process of environmental selection, it has nothing to do with how new species form.
Worse still, it distracts from the real issue: the origin of genetic complexity. Real evolution—if it were true—would require massive additions of genetic information. Mutations, however, are errors, not innovations. They corrupt information; they don’t create it.
Mutations: Mistakes Don’t Build Marvels
Imagine believing that misspelled sentences, when repeated for millions of years, could create Shakespeare. That’s what macroevolution asks us to believe about genetic mutations. As Nowers rightly states, mutations are just mistakes in cell reproduction. They don’t explain the origin of complex systems like DNA replication, enzyme pathways, or the eye.
Darwin didn’t know about DNA. He didn’t understand cell structure or molecular biology. Had he known the intricacy of a single living cell, he might have abandoned his theory altogether. But today’s evolutionists cling to Darwinism—not because it makes sense, but because the alternative would mean surrendering to the reality of a Creator.
The real reason evolution is defended so fiercely isn’t scientific—it’s spiritual. It keeps atheism alive.
