QUESTIONS FOR STUDENTS (OR PARENTS) TO ASK TEACHERS OF EVOLUTION;

1) Is Darwinian evolution a theory with some evidence open to interpretation or a completely proven science?   

2) How is evolution science different from the sciences of physics or chemistry?  How do proofs in evolution compare to those in other sciences and mathematics?

3) Does Darwinian evolution explain the origin of the first life?

4) Are there controversies among evolutionists?   What are those controversies?

5) What is punctuated equilibrium?

6) Why are some scientists saying that life must have originated in outer space or at least not on earth?

7)) Why do some scientists believe that Darwinian evolution is only part of the explanation for the evolution and variety of life?

8) Is it possible that Darwinian evolution is only part of the answer to all of life's complexities?

9) Would it be true that the more complex we find that life really is at a basic level, the less likely it is that Darwinian evolution can answer all the questions?

10) Is it true that there are a number of books written by scientists who say that Darwinian evolution is no more than part of the explanation for life?

11) If scientists disagree, whom should we believe?  Don't evolutionists have a monetary stake in trying to prove Darwinian evolution is all they have claimed it to be, and doesn't that monetary interest raise questions about their objectivity.  Why should we believe those scientists who make a living defending Darwinism as opposed to those scientists whose livelihoods are not dependent on Darwinism who question Darwinism?

12) If an individual evolutionist wanted to run an experiment to prove that Darwinian evolution is limited to micro changes, what is the chance they would be able to get funds from those who are in charge of the money who have spent their careers as proponents of Darwin only evolution?

13) Is it true that the laws of physics and the initial conditions at the beginning of the universe are and were extremely and precisely just what they would have to be to make life possible?  Doesn't evolution depend on those laws and initial conditions?

14) Is it true that scientists who don't believe in god having designed the laws of physics just precisely for life to exist, must then say that there must exist therefore an infinite number of other undetectable universes where life doesn't exist where the laws and conditions are different?

15) Was Einstein right when he said "the truth of a theory can never be proven, for one never knows if future experience will contradict its conclusions and is that true for Darwinian evolution?
