The evolution hypothesis has many weaknesses, which violate both common sense and valid laws of science, such as these:
1. The Law of Cause and Effect: “Every material effect must have an adequate cause that happens before the effect.” Evolution begins with the explosion of a tiny bit of matter no larger than the period at the end of this sentence. Produced is our vast and orderly universe with 25 sextillion stars and over one billion galaxies.
2. An explosion produces chaos and disorder, not the orderly result which we can see.
3. The hypothesis violates the First Law of Thermodynamics: “Neither matter nor energy is created or destroyed in nature.” (That tiny bit of matter just happened to be there. Nobody made it. Matter itself is eternal — so goes the hypothesis.)
4. The hypothesis violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics: “Matter and energy are moving toward a less usable, more disorderly state.” This is called “entropy.” They do not organize themselves into something more orderly, as the hypothesis claims.
5. The hypothesis violates the Law of Biogenesis: “Living things always come from living things, and produce more living things like themselves.” It teaches that life arose by pure chance from non-living matter.
6. The hypothesis contradicts the fossil record and vice-versa. Whenever a form of life first appears as a fossil, it is already fully developed — no “missing links” although the hypothesis demands a multitude of them.
7. Micro-evolution (spelled with an “i”) is observable, but macro-evolution (spelled with an “a”) is never observable. Micro-evolution is that which takes place within a form of life - for example, genetics produces many different kinds of dogs, but never do dogs turn into something else like rabbits, horses or cats (macro-evolution).
Ridiculous illustration? Of course, but no more so than an invertebrate (without a backbone) changing into a vertebrate (having a backbone), as in macro-evolution.
These are problems for the evolutionist, but not for creationism or intelligent design.

Should Obama get credit or blame?
In a long Saturday Nov. 12 feature column, the writer suggested that President Obama "could only take credit or blame for those things that are the result of his ideas." He then listed twelve items for consideration in making that assessment. An only slightly edited version of those twelve items will make them more useful for that purpose and that version follows. (1) President Obama inherited Bush's Great Recession....which had actually been created, not by Bush, but by a failed seventy year experiment in socialism. (2) He stabilized the banking system....using borrowed money. (3) He extended unemployment benefits....using borrowed money. (4) He reduced taxes....using borrowed money. (5) He signed a health-care law....funded by borrowed money. (6) A nuclear arms treaty was signed with the Soviet Union....which had been defeated by Ronald Reagan twenty years ago. (7) Job loss steadily decreased and eventually has resulted in job gains....among government workers and funded by borrowed money. (8) Obama saved the three American auto companies....using borrowed money. (9) He passed a stimulus plan....using borrowed money. (10) Several Al Qaeda leaders were killed....by our remarkable military teams trained during the Bush Administration. (11) The President is trying to solve the nation's short and long-term economic problems....using borrowed money. (12) President Obama has been willing to compromise....in order to raise taxes or borrow more money.
Based on the writer's list, does President Obama deserve credit or blame?
