God, versus Darwin which is really the fake story?

Genesis 1:27 (KJV)

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

And another relevant verse that emphasizes God’s direct formation of man is:

Genesis 2:7 (KJV)

“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

Genesis 1:11 (KJV)

“And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.”

Genesis 1:12 (KJV)

“And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

Genesis 1:21 (KJV)

“And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

Genesis 1:24 (KJV)

“And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.”

Genesis 1:25 (KJV)

“And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

The Storytelling of Darwinian Evolution: A Critical Analysis

1. Introduction

Darwinian evolution is often presented as settled science, but when you look at the actual evidence, it’s more story than substance. Sure, we can see small changes within species—that’s not in dispute. But the big claim—that everything evolved from a single common ancestor by random mutation and natural selection—is not based on lab-confirmed science. It’s built on assumptions and philosophical commitments, not direct observation.

2. What Do We Mean by “Kind”?

When we talk about a “kind,” we’re not being vague or unscientific. A biblical “kind” refers to a natural boundary of reproduction—organisms that can reproduce with one another (or were originally able to). In most cases, this roughly lines up with the family level in taxonomy.

  • Dogs, wolves, and coyotes: Same kind. Interbreed easily.

  • Horse + donkey = mule: Sterile offspring = genetic boundary hit.

So, when we say we only see “descent with modification within a kind,” we’re talking about real, observable limits built into biology.

3. Microevolution Is Real—But It’s Not Macroevolution

Yes, we see variation within kinds. We can breed dogs with all sorts of traits. Bacteria can adapt to antibiotics. But what we don’t see is new information or new organs appearing from scratch.

Michael Behe’s work, especially in Darwin Devolves (2019), shows that even after 70,000 generations of E. coli, we don’t get anything new. Just loss-of-function mutations that help in the short term, but degrade genetic potential in the long term.

4. Lab Experiments Fail to Demonstrate Real “Evolution”

A. Lenski’s E. coli Long-Term Experiment

  • Yes, the bacteria changed. But what changed? They became better at surviving by breaking existing systems, not by creating anything new.

  • No transition to a new kind—just bacteria remaining bacteria.

B. Goldschmidt’s “Hopeful Monster” Idea

  • The idea that big mutations could leap over gaps? Completely rejected. No fossil or lab support.

C. Yeast and Multicellularity

  • Clusters of yeast cells sticking together isn’t multicellular life. They aren’t forming organs or systems. It’s a temporary survival trait, not the beginning of a new kind of organism.

5. Common Ancestors: An Unproven Assumption

A. Shared DNA Doesn’t Prove Shared Ancestry

Just because organisms share genes doesn’t prove they evolved from one another. It could just as easily suggest common design.

A laptop and a smartphone both use lithium batteries and microchips. That doesn’t mean one evolved from the other—it means smart engineering uses what works.

B. Phylogenetic Trees Are Built on Assumptions

Evolutionary trees are drawn based on assumptions of common ancestry. Change the algorithm, and you get a different tree. That’s not hard evidence—that’s interpretive modeling.

Morrison, D. A. (2014). Phylogenetic networks: a new form of multivariate data summary. Systematic Biology.

C. Cambrian Explosion Destroys the Narrative

In the Cambrian layer, we see fully formed body plans appearing suddenly, with no transitional fossils leading up to them. If evolution were true, we should see gradual change. We don’t.

Meyer, Stephen C. (2013). Darwin’s Doubt. HarperOne.

6. Evolutionary Biology Often Relies on Storytelling

The idea that legs turned into wings, or that fish gradually grew lungs and walked onto land—these are imaginative reconstructions, not lab-based biology.

“Virtually every story we tell about how the form of an animal evolved has to be made up after the fact.”
— Jack Horner, paleontologist and scientific advisor for Jurassic Park

When a biologist has to say that, we should take notice.

7. Conclusion: Follow the Evidence, Not the Story

What we actually observe is that:

  • Organisms reproduce after their kind.

  • Variation occurs, but it stays within boundaries.

  • Major transitions are assumed, not demonstrated.

Darwinian evolution is a narrative, not a proven scientific mechanism. The evidence supports designed systems with limits, not random processes building complexity from scratch. The more we learn, the clearer that becomes.

So have you bought into the propaganda and believe that your ancestors were apelike creatures?

When you look in the mirror,  do you see an ape or a human being?

Have you noticed that designers produce similarities and simple to more complex within their work?
