Life Was Created Fully Functional
Variation Is Limited within Kinds
Changes in basic kinds are limited to variations within the kinds. Harmful mutations lead to extinction, not new complex systems. Mutations cannot create a single gene. More...
The Natural Direction of Life is Degeneration, Not Evolution
Damage to the genome shortens the lifespan of both individuals and entire populations. As time passes, genetic information erodes. More...
Living Creatures Were Clearly Designed
When parts fit well together, depend on each other, and interact to achieve a purpose, they can be recognized as a designed system. More...
