Origins (Part 2)

Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg explores some of the criticisms and challenges to the theory of evolution. He notes that some do not believe in evolution due to its association with atheism and materialism, but argues that the evidence used to support evolution has been weakened by scientific advances and discoveries. Moreover, he points out that the absence of transitional forms in the fossil record is a problem for the theory of evolution, but evolutionists maintain their belief in the theory despite its lack of scientific evidence.
