3 Problems With a Naturalistic Explanation for Life

First, a naturalist is one who believes that man was a result of evolution, which started from nothing and evolved over billions of years into a coincidental masterpiece. It's completely illogical to think that man just happened without any help from an all-powerful being, or creator. Man did not become, man became out of creation.


Probably the most dominant problem of a naturalists explanation of life, is their inability to explain how that first form of life came into being that would begin the evolution process. It was believed that is was completely possible for that cell to be "created" purely by chance. However, in order for a cell (or DNA for that matter) to be formed, it must first undergo a very specific and lengthy process that would be literally impossible to happen by chance. The probability is almost infinite in a sense that it would be like everyone in your family winning every lottery for the rest of your lives. Impossible! This conceived "accident" is by far the biggest problem of evolution.


Furthermore, even though the idea of natural selection was created by Darwin to prove evolution, natural selection is used to falsify it. Sure, natural selection is completely true based on the example of the galapagos finches. During a drought, the finches whose beaks weren't long enough to reach food, would die out, leaving only the larger beaked finches to reproduce more larger beaked finches, so it would seem the smaller beaks were lost due to evolution. However, these finches did not continue to evolve into, say, an elephant, and after the drought ended, the finch population regained their normal beak size. This proves that natural selection is true, but that its impossible (no evidence) to conclude that species were able to alter into completely contrasting ones as macro-evolution believes.


Lastly, (but not really the last because there are many more problems) is the proof that mutations are irreproducible. Scientists have genetically altered fruit flies, giving them an extra set of wings, but they were unable to use them and died. This is proof that evolution is impossible due to the fact that any "mutations" that a species would have to receive in order to make a new species, would not work and work not be passed on. Also, scientist has attempted to cross different species such as a lion and a tiger to make a "liger". This process was successful, but the liger (and any other cross species) are completely infertile meaning there was no way to reproduce, again proving evolution faulty.
