Has science disproved Christianity?

Richard Dawkins, in his book "The God Delusion", argues that one can't be an intelligent scientific thinker and still hold religious beliefs.

The theory of Evolution

He guessed that this variation, given enough time, would allow these animals to

change to the point that they looked different

So how did we come to existence according to the theory of Evolution?

Macroevolution: took 3 billion

References for the theory of evolution

Ultimately, each document traced its beliefs back to Darwin’s theoretical writings.

But no testable, scientific, first generation evidence

Points of argument

How rock layers are dated

Living Fossils

some of these animals, like the bivalves (clams and so forth) are still with us today. They look pretty much the same as they always did, even though the theory of evolution would have us believe they are very primitive life forms and should have changed a little by now!

“Natural selection prevented change by eliminating all the innovations, sometimes for periods of millions of years

By the fossils they contain, index fossil

Then assign a date to that rock layer (based on the theory of evolution) and record that date on their geologic time scale

Notice that although the layers of the earth were dated using index fossils, the index fossils were dated by guessing their age based on the theory of evolution

They will tell you they accurately date the fossil using the date of the rock layer in which they found it!!

This was before radiometric dating

Radiometric Dating

No consistent results

Based on assumptions

Results range from 2 million to 500 million years

You should give an estimated age of the item before they run the test

Points of argument

Fully developed sophisticated animals

appear all at once

No transitional form Fossils

None were found

This sudden appearance of so many fully developed life forms can not be explained using the theory of evolution and the slow-working microevolution model. Too many different creatures appear fully developed, too suddenly

Scientists discovered “modern men” in

Pliocene deposits.

Finding modern human remains in layers that are believed to be 7-12 million years old casts serious doubt on the theory of evolution regarding humans (or scientific dating methods), since that is the time Ramapithecus (a supposed ape-man) was proposed to exist

Conclusion

It really does take more faith to believe in evolution than Creation.
