I need simply need some help undertanding the oppositional statments of evolution. I just want to list the ten mayjor "flaws" and hear how they are "wrong" or "right". Please, if you could, address them then argue.
1. The complexity of living systems could never evolve by chance”they had to be designed and created.
2. The high information content of DNA could only have come from intelligence.
3. No mutation that increases genetic information has ever been discovered.
4. Evolution flies directly in the face of entropy, the second law of thermodynamics.
5. There is a total lack of undisputed examples (fossilized or living) of the millions of transitional forms ("missing links") required for evolution to be true.
6. Pictures of ape-to-human "missing links" are extremely subjective and based on evolutionists' already-formed assumptions. Often they are simply contrived.
7. The dating methods that evolutionists rely upon to assign millions and billions of years to rocks are very inconsistent and based on unproven (and questionable) assumptions.
8. Uses continue to be found for supposedly "leftover" body structures.
9. Evolution is said to have begun by spontaneous generation”a concept ridiculed by biology.
10. The scientific method can only test existing data”it cannot draw conclusions about origins.
Thank you.
*Admin note*
Edit if need be to make it more coherent, but I'm only a freshmen in high school trying to get information regarding the "flaws" of evolution for a persuasive essay. If this is a topic you deem completely unnessicary then if you please would suggest any outside information regaurding this issue.

Good questions
This is a nice summary of the issues we see over and over again. The problem is that they cover too much ground for one thread.
They can't all go in one forum.
You might do well to make each a PNT of it's own.

Suggestions
Moebius,
As AdminNosy said, your questions do a good job of summarizing the debate, and cover a lot of ground. Since you're doing a paper for school, I can recommend a website that has a lot of information on how to answer such questions.
TalkOrigins Archive: Exploring the Creation/Evolution Controversy
Try "search the archive" or "browse the archive."
You can also try browsing some of the forums here, or trying our own search function here. I'd recommend starting at TalkOrigins and, as you have questions from your reading, searching for discussion here, or starting a new, more specific thread!
Hope that helps, and good luck with your research!
