Evolution: You’ve Only Learned One Side

Keith Mason

After graduating High School these days, most people believe that the theory of evolution is a scientifically proven fact. And why not, that’s basically all they have been taught. But the truth is they have only been given half the information. There is as much, if not more, scientifically valid evidence against the theory than supporting it.

There is an anti-God/anti-Christian bias in academia (picked up by the media), which only teaches the evidence supporting evolution but leave out the evidence against it. Listen to this quote by Kansas State Immunologist Scott Todd: “Even if all the data point to an Intelligent Designer such a hypothesis is excluded because it is not naturalistic.”[1] This view is very common among many professors and believers in evolution theory. They have already made up their mind about a creator God, and won’t even look at all the facts. Obviously, if they won’t look at them, they won’t teach them.

There are huge holes in the theory of evolution. For one thing, the missing links that are supposed to be there are still missing. We hear things like “Fossils help to build up a connected story of the past and show the parade of life through the ages.”[2] But we never hear, “The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology,”[3] or, "For over a hundred years paleontologists have recognized the large number of gaps in the fossil record."[4] (I could list literally thousands of these types of quotes from professors, scientists, and paleontologists). For example, Steven J. Gould from Harvard has said: "The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, …not the evidence of the fossils."[5]

Darwin knew the fossil record did not support his theory but he ignored the problem and found comfort in the idea that in the future researchers would unearth the necessary fossils and ultimately prove his theory correct. But after 150 years of the most painstaking research of every continent and ocean bottom, the picture is worse than it was in Darwin’s time. Our museums are filled with over 100 million fossils of more than 250,000 species, yet the fossil evidence supporting evolution is even less now, than it was in 1859.[6]

Not only are there problems in the fossil record but also in: the origin of the universe, the origin of life, the Cambrian explosion, how lifeforms evolved from one species to another, how lifeforms became more complex as they evolved, Darwin’s Tree of Life, and more…

For a basic overview for many of these problems, read the booklet on titled ‘Evolution Defined and Refuted.’ One can read this booklet in about an hour and there are over 100 footnotes and citations so it is fully documented and backed up. See also ‘Survival of the Fakest’ at This is a condensed version of Icons of Evolution (see recommended reading below) written by the author himself – and its free.

If you examine ALL the evidence, you’ll see that animals don’t evolve they “reproduce after their own kind” just as the bible says in the book of Genesis.
