6 So-Called ‘Facts’ That Contradict Evolution (Spoiler: Wrong)!
5. Morphic Resonance
This concept was introduced by Rupert Sheldrake, a former Cambridge biochemistry professor who believes everything from common species to the stars in the sky have a collective memory that is continually shaped by events and behaviors. As time goes along, these habits evolve, and everything in nature that was held to be true – even the laws of gravity – get replaced by something new.
The issue: Sheldrake only proves that even former Cambridge professors can march to the beat of a different drum. There’s simply nothing scientific about this idea, anymore than the stuff about the Jedi and the Force in Star Wars. It’s just a whole lot of paranormal pseudoscience.
6. Theistic Evolution
The Catholic Church might still be behind the times in many ways, but at least they acknowledge that the evidence in favor of evolution is too great for them to deny. So what is their solution? Theistic evolution, which is basically the marrying of Darwinism and God…ism. Evolution is acknowledged, but it is God who guides it.
The issue: Well, this one is actually pretty clever. Understanding the futility of debating science versus religion, they’re saying, “Science is science, but we’re suggesting that it was created by God.”
