Is the Evolutionary Tree of Life Accurate?

Textbooks, video programs, and nearly every natural history museum in the US would say that, yes, it is. But this idea of an evolutionary tree of life faces an insurmountable problem: There’s no mechanism by which to push evolution forward!

This idea of an evolutionary tree of life faces an insurmountable problem: There’s no mechanism by which to push evolution forward!

You see, to turn a single-celled organism into all the life forms we have today, you need a process that can create brand-new, functioning genetic information to code for all of the new features. But information only comes from other information! We’ve never observed information arising from non-information! There’s no law of nature that states this can happen. Quite the opposite, the law of biogenesis tells us life only comes from life! Yet evolution requires the accumulation of massive amounts of new information (and it has to be functional information for it to be of any evolutionary use!). But that’s never been observed.

The evolutionary “tree of life” isn’t accurate—it’s a fairy tale that’s unsupported by the observational evidence.

Dr. Terry Mortenson dismantles evolution, biblically and scientifically, in a one-hour video recently posted to our Answers in Genesis YouTube channel. I encourage you to watch and share it with others.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
