Complex organization can only come from intelligent design. Left to themselves, all things in our universe will fade away into useless mush. Not even life can prevent it for long. ONLY an intellect can reverse the process of intentional construction. Not one incident of spontaneous generation of a complex organized system that has EVER been seen. With good reason. Its IMPOSSIBLE. And since this is more important to understand, i'll point out a common misconception that has fooled many an intelligent person into believing it HAS happened before. This subject is evolutionary theory, and more specifically, the difference between MACROevolition and MICROevolution. It's really easy if explained in simple terms. MACROevolution is when a lower species gains complexity and develops into a higher species. MICROevolution is the scientific term for minor changes in organisms. It cannot change a species into a better one, but it can make changes that better suit the animal. I could describe more differences, but I don't have the time. in summery, MICROevolution uses genetic information ALREADY PRESENT in the animal to allow small changes in the animal's characteristics while MACROevolution depends on NEW INFORMATION forming by accident. sometimes, an an information - losing mutation my give an animal a survival advantage over its peers, but MACROevolution depends upon having, not only a survival advantage, but also an increase in information and complexity. There's obviously a problem then. MACROevolution depends on blind chance. And I've learned that when things are left to chance ( according to the laws of the universe ) they have always become LESS complex, not MORE complex. In addition, MACROEVOLUTION HAS NEVER BEEN OBSERVED. Therefore, MACROevolution is a FICTION. Unfortunately, MICROevolution is often used to -prove- that MACROevolution is a FACT. Even the term MICROevolution is misleading. They are two very different ideas. One happens to be valid, the other is impossible.

But the whale and pig are not the same kind of animals. They would never have evolved from each other even if they had similar characteristics. They are just different kinds of animals. Just because we have hands, the same structure as those of a rat doesnt mean we and rats share the same ancestors. That hand is just one feature of both. For instance, a bicycle and car both have tires but it doesnt mean they have the same ancestors or they evolved from each other. It means they were created with the same material, possibly by the same or different designers. Toyota produces cars. Every car they produce will have tires, windshields, side mirrors and the rest but they produce different models of cars, cars that all have the same features but are different. If you see two cars that look similar in design, its not far-fetched to think they were created by the same designer. They can design their cars however they want. Same thing with God, the creator. He creates animals and it doesnt prove that different kinds of organisms evolved from each other, he can design his creatures however he wants. Its absurd to think there would even be a missing link between them. If an organism changes environment, its normal to get used to that environment, but never ever is a hippo going to evolve into a whale and vice-versa, no matter how long you give them. And how convenient for you to say it happens over millions and billions of years, when nobody will be around to witness it. Evolution is just a big, fat lie that people tell themselves when they deny the existence and proof of an awesome creator. You did not realize this, but all what you said proves creation more and more

Thanks for the video. I don-t consider the evidence that creatures have similar organs and structures as strong evidence to recognize the existence of evolution because a car manufacturer has different types of cars but they have similar frames. That doesn-t change the fact that the same manufacturer created them.
I guess we are defining evolution as laws in-universe. Those are laws that work in the universe they are not a lawmaker. By the way, don-t make the evolution as evidence not to believe in God. We should never forget that when we read an incident we try to see the actor or meaning that doesn-t appear on the face of an incident or a book. All of these things that happen in the universe must have a meaning that we couldn't see. We shouldn-t ignore that fact. If we ignore the fact then what is the meaning of life if we will die and spoil under the earth.

Not open for debate? Shouldn't people be encouraged to try to disprove a theory? Are you really 100% sure you can trace our origins over 3. 5 billion years to a single granddaddy organism? Seems like there is plenty of room for error there. The microevolution (natural selection/survival of the fittest) you talk about I agree with: mosquitoes developing resistances; lizards becoming vegan hipsters. But does this prove beyond all doubt that a hippo can evolve into a whale? Can a T. Rex become a chicken? Maybe. This doesn't seem like 100% settled science to me, though. Doesn't seem anywhere close to settled. If I'm missing something please enlighten me.

Theistic science deniers forget that they trust in a presupposition that requires no evidence because, for them, faith is enough. Science has offered us every reason to discard faith as a tool of truth. When a claim requires that the supernatural is the explanation and blindfolds of faith are required of you to embrace the claims, a skeptic will suspect deception. A scientist will request more evidence. The theist will walk away, calling it silly and absurd unless that silly absurdness supports his or her God beliefs, and then it is truth, and God requires that you believe of faith.

Why do people even bother arguing about this on the internet anymore? Willfully ignorant people are going to remain willfully ignorant on the evidence and reasoning of evolution as long as they continue to suck up religious dogma that has stunted science for centuries. Can we save our breath? These people aren-t going to become world-renown biologists any time soon, and these tedious internet arguments just aren-t worth ones frustration and mental energy considering they end up amounting to nothing of value.

If evolution is a fallacy, then why do humans have so many meaningless body parts that just conveniently have use in primates and other mammals who we just happen to share an inordinate amount of DNA with?
1. Coccyx
2. Tonsils
3. Plica semilunaris
4. Appendix
5. Wisdom Teeth
God would not just give us useless body parts for no reason. Sorry.
Oh btw there are more useless body parts than I listed here but these are just a few that serve no purpose but to burden and harm humans.

I have a hard time believe that all y'all in the comments can look at a flower or a butterfly or your on hand and think that the big bang and evolution caused such a thing. all y'all trippin. horrible what they teach kids in school these days, ignorance and indoctrination rather than handing them literature that will teach their minds of all possble theories. y'all need to go read for yourselves and form a educated answer. God is real.

I'm just wondering how do we know it all started with a single organism and not a few/many organisms in the same chemical soup or even many soups that had similar conditions? And does the DNA of all the discovered species follow a single initial specie or could we have a few different starting species, so different chimical conditions soups?

The chimpanzee 98% thing is a myth. And needs to disappear. Otherwise good show.
I wish people would compare different tree's of historical evolution from different fields of study. This is beyond powerful imagery, as they all align.
