Evolution is not a perfect theory, for evolutionists are yet to answer the most fundamental questions.
The term "Evolution" is an umbrella term to encompass three very diverse aspects:1
1. Small-scale changes within a species or genepool a.k.a. microevolution (e.g. evolution of new varieties of dogs).
2. All organisms have descended from a single common ancestor a.k.a. Universal Common Descent / Macroevolution.
3. Unguided process of natural selection acting upon random mutation as the primary mechanism of driving the evolution of life a.k.a. Neo-Darwinism / Macroevolution.
Most creationists affirm microevolution. The macroevolution divides the population.
The public perception is dreadfully wrong in understanding evolution and creation. The general public perceives evolution to be highly scientific and thinks that the entire scientific community endorses the veracity of evolution.
The average man or woman considers creation to be thoroughly unscientific. They think that only the mindless theists, who, by definition, [apparently] hate science, consider creation to be factual. This is so wrong!
The entire scientific community does not endorse Darwinian evolution. "Dissent from Darwin" website reveals the growing number of scientists disputing the Darwinian evolution.
Consider the words of a few scientists who dispute Neo-Darwinism: 2
"New mutations don't create new species; they create offspring that are impaired." (Evolutionary biologist late Lynn Margulis - member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences)
"[m]utations have a very limited 'constructive capacity'" because "[n]o matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution." (Past president of the French Academy of Sciences, Pierre-Paul Grasse)
"There are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical or cellular system, only a variety of wishful speculations." (Biochemist Franklin Harold)
"the materialist neo-Darwinian conception of nature is almost certainly false." (Atheist philosopher Thomas Nagel)
Among the scientific community, renowned evolutionary biologists who have pronounced the death of Neo-Darwinism are Francisco Ayala and the late Lyn Margulis of the "Attenburg 16" (group of evolutionary biologists who met at Attenburg, Austria in 2008 to explore the mechanisms behind evolution).
The scientific community is divided over evolution because evolution is yet to answer certain fundamental questions!
