In den letzten Jahrzehnten startete die Schöpfungslehre unter dem Schlagwort „Kreationismus” neue Anläufe, um den Absolutheitsanspruch der Evolutionsanschauung zu brechen. Evolutionskritische Wissenschaftler sind allerdings in einer schwierigen Lage. Sie müssen weithin bei Null anfangen. Von den etablierten Wissenschaftlern werden sie kaum zur Kenntnis genommen, und wenn doch, werden sie nicht selten persönlich und emotional angegriffen. Trotzdem ist in den letzten Jahren ein bemerkenswerter Anstieg an wissenschaftlicher evolutionskritischer Literatur zu beobachten und die sachlich geführten Kontroversen nehmen zu...
Diese Seiten sollen zu einer objektiven Einschätzung der Argumente für und gegen Schöpfung oder Evolution beitragen.

Most of us would like to believe that we bring a completely open and unbiased mind to the issue of origins. We prefer to think that we harbor no unprovable starting assumptions, and that we would not hesitate to abandon even our most fundamental beliefs about origins if the facts were to require it. There may be certain individuals and even certain fields of science where this blissful neutrality prevails but it is most unlikely when we deal with the question of our origins. Here the facts are too few and the philosophical stakes are too high. Whether one believes in creation or evolution the philosophical and religious implications are profound. Creation is the very foundational assumption of the Judeo-Christian religion and evolution is the foundational assumption of religions such as atheism, agnosticism and secular humanism. Creation implies that man is ultimately accountable to the Creator and evolution implies that man is ultimately accountable to no one save himself.

Entstehung des Lebens

The Origin of Life
David N. Menton - mac@creation.org
One of the most fundamental axioms of biology is that all life comes from pre-existing life. In 1650, Francesco Redi, an Italian physician, proved that maggots come from living flies and not from lifeless meat as was widely believed. This was a serious blow to spontaneous generation, but when bacteria were later discovered, it was thought that at least micro-organisms might arise from non-life. This notion too was finally laid to rest in 1864 by the great scientist (and creationist) Louis Pasteur, who demonstrated that bacteria can only come from living bacteria.

Most evolutionists are dead certain that life evolved by chance (without divine intervention) from non-living chemicals through a process called "chemical evolution." Evolutionists speculate that life gradually evolved from mere hydrogen in a series of stages: 

1. The first stage began about 15 billion years ago with the "Big Bang" which produced an expanding cloud of hydrogen gas -- all else was void. 
   
2. During stage two it is believed that simple chemicals from stage one formed the small organic molecules essential to life such as sugars, amino acids and nucleotides. In 1953, Miller and Urey claimed to "simulate" the evolution of some of these organic molecules from methane and ammonia using apparatus and conditions designed to achieve the desired result.
   
3. Stage three in chemical evolution is supposed to have involved the stringing together of small organic molecules into long chain-like molecules called polymers. The most important biological polymers are starches (polymers of sugars), proteins (polymers of amino acids), and DNA (polymers of nucleotides).
   
4. The final stage of chemical evolution involves the chance transformation of organic molecules and polymers into the unfathomably complex machinery of living cells. 

Here evolutionary speculation is so unrestrained by evidence, or even plausibility, that it fails to merit serious consideration. The biochemist Dr. David Green pretty well summed it up when he said in his book Molecular Insights into the Living Process:

"the macromolecule-to-cell transition is a jump of fantastic dimensions, which lies beyond the range of testable hypothesis. In this area all is conjecture. The available facts do not provide a basis for postulating that cells arose on this planet."

Evolutionists have tried to get around this problem by invoking long periods of time in the hope that, given enough time, virtually anything is possible -- except, of course, special creation.

Sir Fred Hoyle, the man who named the "Big Bang" theory, has recently concluded that the origin of life by chance is an absurd idea. In his book Evolution From Space, Hoyle insists that it is obvious that the complexity of life demands an intelligent designer, possibly even (heaven forbid!) God. According to Hoyle:

"Once we see, however, that the probability of life originating at random is so utterly minuscule as to make it absurd, it becomes sensible to think that the favorable properties of physics on which life depends are in every respect deliberate. ... It is therefore almost inevitable that our own measure of intelligence must reflect... higher intelligences... even to the limit of God... such a theory is so obvious that one wonders why it is not widely accepted as being self-evident."
