@JimmyJ,
The reason I don't accept evolution theory is because I find freedom is real and relevant in the universe. A correct theory about origins can only be phrased in terms of decscribing the decisions by which a thing comes to be. And organisms look as they were chosen as a whole, through sophisticated ways of choosing, rather than through many different decisions accidently.
It is evident that an organism develops into adulthood as a whole. There is certainly a representation of the whole grounded in the RNA. And if there is a representation of the whole adult organism, then it is likely that varieties of whole adult organisms can be chosen. So to say the RNA becomes to be undecided, and in this undecided state it is not the case that all mathematically possible combinations of RNA present themselves, but only combinations which represent whole adult organisms present themselves to be chosen.
Also a young earth is by no means of the table. Those who think that a young earth is of the table do not understand how choosing works. There is no priority for the universe starting out simple, or the universe starting out complex. With the initial decision all configurations of the universe are equally likely. Once the first choice is made, then any next choice is combined with the previous choice, so then the possibilities around what has already been chosen are more likely. So it means the earth and people can be created suddenly at once without any prior history.
The 13 billion year age of the universe is then error, and instead what scientists are measuring is the distance of the universe now to the universe consisting of just 0. There are lots of things now, if you take aways something, then you get closer to only 0 existing, so this distance to 0 has a measure to it, and this measure is what scientists mistake as the passage of time. Scientists are pointing to a singular 0 as what the universe starts out with, but if the universe starts out complex, then the 0 state universe would be measurable just the same.
Evolution theory is phrased unethically in that in it's phrasing it proposes as a matter of fact that organisms love living, survival, reproduction. Although the mathematical models of evolution theory are without this ethical fault, very clearly evolutionists become to be spiritually defiled on account of evolution theory, by regarding love as a matter of fact issue, instead of as a matter of opinion. Evolution theory is the main cause of nazism and communism, which were relatively popular at universities more than with the population in general. Although ofcourse people are already naturally predisposed to the sin of making what is good, loving and beautiful into a matter of fact issue, the original sin of knowledge of good and evil. Evolution theory is also the main cause of the "new atheism" ideology now.
What evolution theory did in the history of science and society is 1. surpress all knowledge in terms of freedom to replace it with knowledge in terms of being forced, including surpressing knowledge about how people behave in a free way. 2. crushed subjectivity of people, generally competing objectivity against subjectivity to the destruction of it, instead of accepting both objectivity and subjectivity are valid. You will always find it is evolutionists who are saying that God does not exist for lack of evidence, and say that love and hate are real because evidence forces to the conclusion that they exist. These are properly matters of opinion, not fact.
What value evolution theory has is to view an organism in terms of it's survival and reproduction.
