Evolutionists claim that Darwin proved evolution through his research. Is there any truth to this claim?

• What did Darwin really prove?

There is no compelling evidence that macro evolution happened or that it could possibly happen. Evolution is merely a series of scientifically impossible stories. The stories of evolution violate many of the basic laws of science such as the Second Law of Thermodynamics. We observe adaptations and mutations, but we also observe the limits of adaptation and the fact that no new information is ever added by adaptation and mutation. We observe that great volumes of information would have to be added in order for molecules to man evolution to take place and we see that this would be impossible.

A typical response to this is for an evolutionist to point out some instance where forensic evidence can be used to show a logical conclusion based on evidence that an event took place even though the event itself cannot be repeated. Examples include a theft or a dog doing damage while you were away. These are straw man arguments in that they misrepresent what was just said in the previous paragraph. We have observed that people can steal and we have seen dogs do damage. We know that these things are possible and we can actually do experiments to repeat the processes and show that the evidence that was left behind is consistent with the evidence left behind by our experiments in theft or dog damage. No one, on the other hand, has ever observed or done an experiment in which DNA was created from chemicals or DNA assembled itself into a living cell or a fish turned into a lizard or a lizard turned into a human being. They have tried and they have lied about the results of trying, but no one has ever observed these impossible claims. Evolution is simply a story that requires that scientists must ignore all the evidence that would refute the evolutionary story and they must interpret the results of their science through the distorted lens of evolution.

The reason we believe is not based on physical evidence or human argument, though the observable physical evidence supports God's existence and His Truth without the mental gymnastics that the Atheists and Evolutionists find themselves tangled in. It is based in the power of God. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word (utterance) of God. God speaks. God speaks to every person. Whoever will listen receives the faith that is of God. This is a supernatural belief that is not human-generated. It is a gift. That faith is the belief that what God has said is true. Before a person is born again, there is a history of hearing God's voice. No one can come to Christ unless the Father draws him or her. A person is born again the moment that he or she hears God's voice and receives faith to believe in Jesus as Savior from sin.

(some caveats about hearing God's Voice)

In the same way, it is God who speaks and says that the Bible is the Word of God without error. (How we know) When we hear His voice, then His faith comes, the supernatural belief that the Bible is the Word of God without error. Once God opens our eyes, we see that the Bible is the only source that is both internally and externally consistent. We cannot possibly believe unless we are having an active interaction with our Maker. Some Christians are not aware enough of their own experience to know this. That's why we have all the previously-mentioned reasons for believing the Bible as the Word of God.

Interestingly, explanation given in the previous paragraph does not depend on circular reasoning or poor logic. It depends on God. This is the kind of faith that is what is really operating. It is based on revelation. Now, a naturalist will attack the whole idea of revelation claiming that revelation cannot be verified.
