Let me explain. The fact of the matter is that most people aren’t scientists. They’ve never conducted research, they’ve never worked in a lab, they’ve never been at a fossil dig site, nor have they ever written a “peer-reviewed,” scientific paper. To be honest, I doubt most evolutionists have even read a peer-reviewed, technical paper. Thus I say, they’ve not seen any evidence for their theory.
But I’m going to go further than that. Even among practicing scientists, there are only a handful of people in the world who have actually laid eyes on the fossil of an alleged human ancestor. Most of those fossils are sequestered, leaving only plaster copies made from other plaster copies available for examination. What’s more, most sciences have nothing to do with evolution - chemistry, physics, astronomy, meteorology engineering, mathematics, etc., seldom ever do any research on evolution. So a tiny, tiny fraction of people have actually done any research in the theory believed by millions of people - yet the millions claim they don’t believe anything unless they see the evidence for themselves. //RKBentley rolls his eyes//
The question becomes, “Why do people who claim to need evidence, believe in a theory for which they’ve never seen any evidence?” I have said in the past that many believe by faith. Yet, even though I’ve said that many times, maybe I’m not being precise enough.
There is no evidence for evolution. Let’s just get that out of the way first. “Evidence” for evolution is like evidence for the tooth fairy; it may seem to explain what we observe but it still isn’t true. How can there be evidence for something that’s not even true? So evolutionists don’t believe the evidence for evolution. Instead, they believe what they’ve been told about evolution. They’ve read it in textbooks, heard it from teachers, and listened to arguments made by secular apologists and they’ve decided to believe them instead of believing in a Creator.
Now, I know what some critics are going to say. The textbooks were written by scientists! OK. So what? We could talk about what the scientists have said about the evidence but, in the meanwhile, the teachers are teaching what has been written in the textbooks by scientists they’ve never met and the online atheists who defend evolution are simply parroting the claims made by scientists while they themselves haven’t seen the evidence either.
Believing in evolution is a faith statement. Lay people are putting their faith in unidentified scientists who claim to have seen the evidence for evolution. You could say they’ve fallen for the argument from authority fallacy; that is, someone they believe is an expert has said the evidence supports evolution, and people who have never seen this evidence have chosen to believe the scientists.
But who are these experts? Who writes the textbooks that teach evolution? What are their qualifications? I could google the names and backgrounds of the textbook authors but how many people who claim to only believe evidence already know their names? If you ask any evolutionist who wrote the textbook he learned from in high school, I wonder how many would know. If you ask the average biology teacher who wrote the textbook, I wonder if he could tell you.
Most evolutionists really don’t believe in evidence. They’ve never seen any evidence for evolution. They only believe what other people have told them about the evidence. Yet, even that is a blind faith because they don’t even know the people who have studied the evidence. They may be very zealous about their belief in evolution, but, at the end of the day, they literally have nothing to show for it!
