12 Reasons Evolution is Impossible

Dr. John Ashton in his book Evolution Impossible list 12 reasons: [1]

However, 12 substantial reasons for rejecting evolution gleaned from the evidence in the previous chapters could be summarized as follows:

  1. Mutations do not produce new purposeful genetic information.
  2. Evolution of a new species as a result of new genetic code arising has never been observed.
  3. There is no known proven mechanism that can explain how new purposeful genetic information could arise, and statistically it is impossible.
  4. There is no known proven mechanism that can explain all the steps for a living cell to form from nonliving molecules (abiogenesis), and statistically it is impossible.
  5. Abiogenesis has never been observed and all experiments to initiate it have failed.
  6. The fossil record is a record of extinction of fully formed animals and plants — not a record of the evolution of life forms.
  7. There are no fossils of proven mutant evolutionary intermediate organisms, yet there should be millions and millions of fossils of such mutations. That is, we have no evidence of actual evolution in the fossil record.
  8. Some of the oldest fossil-bearing rocks contain fully developed advanced animals such as trilobites, with no evidence of evolutionary ancestors.
  9. Erosion rates for the continents are too fast for the continents and their fossil content to be old enough for supposed evolution to occur.
  10. There are not enough ocean sediments or volcanic deposits for the continents to be old enough to allow for supposed evolution.
  11. Radiometric dating results give old ages for recent rock, so we cannot accurately “know” the age of rocks. Also, the finding of carbon-14 in coal and diamonds means that these deposits must be less than 100,000 years old, indicating insufficient time for supposed evolution.
  12. The rate of mutation of DNA currently observed suggests that DNA must be less than 100,000 years old, which is not enough time for supposed evolution.
