yes...
>95% of academic biologists support it.
Those who argue against it have a poor understanding of biology.
no...
No: 1. No credible transitional forms (fossils reflecting evolution between species) have ever been found.
- 2. There is no plausible explanation for the evolution of the whale, which is a mammal. Darwin suggested that the whale somehow came from black bears swimming with their mouths open!
- 3. Evolution cannot be reconciled with the evidence of a massive flood.
- 4. All mutations are harmful.
- 5. Species have being going extinct rather than being generated.
- 6. All unaided things become more disordered and scattered over time.
- 7. There is vast beauty in the world, such as brilliant autumn foliage, which would not exist in a purely evolutionary world.
- 8. Abiogenisis is impossible. Even the simplest life form possible would be way too complicated to spring from nothing.
No: In short... no. In long... there is much evidence against the theory that proves it is false. First of all there is the classic argument that the "missing links" are still missing. Here is what Darwin had to say on the subject.
"Geological research, though it has added numerous species to existing and extinct genera, and has made the intervals between some few groups less wide then they otherwise would have been, yet has done scarcely anything in breaking the distinction between species, by connecting them together by numerous, fine, intermediate varieties; and this having been affected, is probably the gravest and most obvious of all the many objections which can be raised against my views."
