According to Dr. Groothuis, what are the weaknesses of Darwinism?
-
Dr. Groothuis explains that Darwinism fails to succeed in defending such claims as all life evolving from a common ancestor, natural selection enabling one species to evolve into another species, evolution occurring from random selection, and the fittest surviving over the weakest. Most of all he concludes that science fails to trump the Bible.
-
Essentially the fact that the initial and recognized gaps in his evidence have only grown larger rather than converging to help his theory. The slow and gradual change has instead show to be evidence of “stasis” and then sudden emergence.
-
Increased findings on the fossil record have unearthed more gaps and difficulties in Darwinism, instead of supporting it.
The Cambrian explosion showed that many different organisms burst into being in a short period of time. This did not allow enough time for all forms of life to evolve consecutively from one ancestor, such as Darwinism claims.
Darwin’s tree of life does not exist. To try to account for it, Stephen Jay Gould had to propose an idea of punctuated equilibrium which had no rhyme or reason.
Darwin admitted that his theory would break down, if just one complex organ existed which could not be formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications. We find evidence for this irreducible complexity in the bacterial flagellum and the DNA and RNA.

According to Dr. Groothius, the weaknesses of Darwinism are:
- Failure of the Fossil Record
- No effective explanation for the Cambrian Explosion.
- Darwin’s Tree of life does not actually exist.
- There is no known explanation for how evolution could account for the increase in genetic information needed for development.
-
Concise, great answer.
-
The weaknesses that I’ve gathered that Dr. Groothuis mentioned are:
-The fossil record contradicts Darwin’s “slow, gradual, incremental change” theory.
-Darwin’s evolutionary process does not give evidence for genetics major development
-Darwinism is based on the sciences which does not speak on how we should live, dealing with morality.
-Darwinism lacks logic and evidence and is based more on ideology than evidence.
