Fossil evidence for evolution. Certain rock layers contain numerous different fossilised organisms not found in the layers below them. Cambrian rock is a good example of this. Cambrian fossils are all fully-formed species - no intermediates. The layers underneath have no intermediates either, nor evidence of erosion which would suggest missing rock layers. The fully-formed species just suddenly ap...

Fossil evidence for evolution. Evolutionists claim that the fossil record provides the most fundamental evidence that evolution occurred. If evolution did indeed occur, we would expect evidence for this to permeate all levels of investigation in the fossil record - from first glance to the finest details. Assuming the fossil record represents long ages, examples of intermediate species in evolutio...

Fossils and archaeology. Evolutionary assumptions place fossil formation millions of years in the past. However, fossils themselves present some problems with this assumption. Many palaeontologists have now been able to extract soft tissues from fossils, such as proteins, DNA, collagen, red blood cells and haemoglobin. These molecules are very delicate and degrade in 20,000 years or less in averag...

The fossil record presents some stunning realities about what life was like on earth in the past. The diversity of life species was extraordinary compared to what we have today. Fossils also tell a story of massive extinction. And the way the fossil record has preserved evidence of these countless different species can only be conceivable through catastrophic conditions. If at first the fossil rec...

The fossil record is considered to be the primary foundational evidence that validates evolution. Geologists have thought it seems to paint a picture of long ages and slow gradual processes in which species grew to be more complex over time. This perspective was a foundational viewpoint for Darwin when he developed his evolutionary theory. But is this the picture the fossil record really paints of...

Brand new genetic code needs to be produced for the evolution of new species and types of organisms to occur. This is essential if a bacteria is to become a yeast, a fish to become a salamander or lizard, or for a flying dinosaur to become a bird. How much new and unique genetic code actually needs to be produced to explain the diversity seen in nature? What is the probability of this occurring? W...

Evolution that arises from the production of new and viable genetic information is an essential underpinning of Darwin's theory. Richard Dawkins in his book "The Greatest Show on Earth: Evidence for Evolution" provides evidence for this kind of evolution occurring. What does this evidence show? What type of evidence does it provide? What are the implications of this on Darwinian evolution? Check o...

Evolution is a broad term that is applied to different processes of change and development within an organism. It is critical to understand the different types of evolution that occur, and the significance, implications and evidence for each, in order to clarify evolutionary theory. In this discussion, the three types of evolution are defined and explained with examples, as the question is examine...

How did life on earth start? Even the simplest cells are extremely complex. With thousands of molecules involved that have to be in just the right conformation, concentration, and sequence, just getting all the necessary parts of a cell together is an impossible feat. But even if you had all of this, the cell wouldn't be alive. What would it take for the cell to start living? What would it take to...

How did life on earth start? When scientists talk about life beginning, they are referring to "simple" life forms or single-celled organisms. But how "simple" are these life forms? We know today that these cells are made of thousands of different parts. What would it take for these molecules to form naturally from elemental atoms? How likely is it for this to occur?

How did life on earth start? Evolutionists assert that life began on earth about 3.7-4.5 billion years ago. This is based on radiometric dating of the fossil record and the rock beds they are found in. While this time frame is questionable, a bigger question is how did life arise at that time? Could it have emerged spontaneously from non-living material? Could it have come to earth from outer spac...

What is the evidence for evolution? Darwin's belief about human evolution was influenced by Thomas H. Huxley, who proposed that humans descended from apes. This was evident to Darwin because of the anatomical similarities shared between humans and apes. Darwin also was persuaded that humans descended from fish, based on the notion that the embryonic state of each species indicates the structure of...

What is the evidence for evolution? Biologists have worked hard through the one and a half centuries since Darwin published his theory of evolution to gather supporting evidence for it. Much of the initial evidence was rooted in the fossil record, which suggested species evolution from lower to more advanced organisms in context of a long age time reference. Evolutionary links between species were...

What is the evidence for evolution? Darwin was a keen and thoughtful observer of the things around him. Influenced by the mechanistic mindset of his time, Darwin sought to understand and explain the diversity of species and their traits through natural processes. This investigation led him to develop his concept of natural selection, which combined with a long-age time reference, became his theory...

Is Evolution a fact? Has evolution ever been observed in action? Does the fossil record reflect the evolutionary process? Is there any case where species mutations naturally gain genetic information? The short answer is No. How do evolutionary scientists respond to this? Where does this leave evolution?

Is evolution a fact? Evolution has a zero probability, yet it is regarded as an "inescapable fact". Is there any real world evidence that show life forms evolving from primitive organisms? Mathematically, the probability of this has been deemed impossible. Some have even acknowledged that "no one knows how it [evolution] works". How then is evolutionary theory maintaining a foothold? Watch this vi...

Is evolution a fact? Many people think so, and it's easy to see why, considering how widely this idea is taught. But does what seems irrefutable have strong underpinning evidence? How much of the evidence needed to establish evolution as an unequivocal fact do we actually have?

Over the last twelve programs, Dr. Ashton has been explaining why scientific evidence makes evolution impossible. Today, Dr. Ashton will summarise the evidence before telling us why he is a Christian and something of his life and work.

In this episode, Dr. Ashton is going to explore evidence for the existence of an intervening God.

In today's episode, Dr. Ashton is going to review the work of a number of scientists who believe in creation.

In this episode, Dr. Ashton will address briefly the accuracy of Carbon 14 dating before outlining problems with the Big-Bang model.

This episodes examines erosion rates, sedimentation rates and other evidence in conflict with radiometric dating ages. We’ll also begin to discuss problems with radiometric dating.

This episode examines the historical evidence for a worldwide flood.

This episode examines the geological evidence for a catastrophic global flood.

This episode continues the examination of the fossil record. We will find that there are no fossil intermediates, a further indication that evolution never occurred.
