Two of the biggest weaknesses of evolutionary theory are: .
There is no adequate explanation for the origin of life from dead chemicals. Even the simplest life form is tremendously complex. .
The fossil record, our only documentation of whether evolution actually occurred in the past, lacks any transitional forms, and all types appear fully-formed when first present. The evidence that "pre-men" (ape-men) existed is dubious at best. So called pre-man fossils turn out to be those of apes, extinct apes, fully man, or historical frauds. .
EARLY ATMOSPHERE - .
For starters we need a favorable environment for life to evolve and be sustained. .
SIMPLE ORGANIC MOLECULES - .
We need a means of constructing the building blocks of life. .
LARGE MACRO-MOLECULES (proteins, DNA, RNA, etc.) - .
Some the simple molecules must be assembled into biologically useful large molecules. .
BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS - .
Biological systems such as energy conversion must be constructed. .
LIVING CELL - .
And finally, all these molecules and systems must be assembled together to form a highly complex living cell. .
Modern humans have existed for 4.5 million years, which is before the australopithecines existed by the evolutionists time scale. .
Homo erectus maintains the same appearance over its two million year history (again, the evolutionary time scale) .
Modern Homo sapiens, Neanderthal, archaic Homo sapiens and Homo erectus all lived as contemporaries at one time or another. There is no trend for robust forms evolving into more gracile forms. In the case of Neanderthals and archaic Homo sapiens, the more robust forms are the more recent. .
Homo habilis and Homo erectus are contemporaries; no evolution here. .
Humans appear in the fossil record as already human. By virtue of being human contemporaries, the Australopithecines are disqualified as human ancestors. (Lubenow, 1992, 178-179) .
At the bottom of Bed I in the Olduvai gorge is a circular stone structure 14 ft.
