Evolutionists say that the current high rate of extinction is due to humans, which they say haven't been around for long.

The [[theory of evolution]] does not permit the existence of any counterexamples.  '''If any of the 48 counterexamples listed below is correct, then the theory of evolution fails'''.  Moreover, even if there is merely a 5% chance that each of these counterexamples is correct (and the odds are far higher than that<ref>Many of the counterexamples are indisputable, rendering each of their probabilities of being correct nearly 100%.</ref>), then the probability that the theory of evolution is true is less than 9%.

# The current annual rate of extinction of species far exceeds any plausible rate of generation of species.  Expanding the amount of time for evolution to occur makes evolution even less likely.
   
# Evolution cannot explain artistic beauty, such as the brilliant autumn foliage and staggering array of beautiful marine fish, both of which originated before any human to view them; this lacks any plausible evolutionary explanation.
