According to Dr. Groothuis, what are the weaknesses of Darwinism?
-
There is no ancestry record. Can’t be proven
-
Recent discoveries of new species appearing quickly. Fossil records not supporting Darwinism. Obvious design found in DNA/RNA.
-
Dr. Groothuis states that Darwins tree of life doesn’t exist. He uses the example of a bacterial flagelium that has 40 parts basically he called it a molecular machine, all the parts are needed he called it the mouse trap principle and that none of the parts can be built through natural selection, showing intelligent design.

Darwinism which is naturalism or materialism cannot prove the moral question. It also comes with presuppositions of its own that need to be proven through methodology. I quote from the Dr’s book “methodological naturalism betrays science itself”(pg 279 Christian Apologetic s). The peppered moth of England, Finch beaks going the other way in the Galapagos. The problem with Darwinism is time and science. As time advances and so does scientific discovery the theoretical is proven and disproved.
-
The major weakness of Darwinism is that there is no tree of life in which Darwin postulates that everything that exists comes from a common ancestor. The fossil record doesn’t support this and on the contrary contradicts this theory. There is a period in biology called the Cambrian explosion where at a specific time in the biological record a mass amount of complex organisms came into being.
Another weakness is that Darwinism offers no theory on how evolution could increase genetic information needed for development.
