Evolution

This Monk is educated on Evolution, below are some myths on evolution:
1) Evolution gives you what you need
2) Homo Sapiens popped out of monkeys one day
3) The theory of evolution is tied to the big bang theory
4) The theory of evolution says random chemicals mysteriously made the first cell
5) Darwin took back his theory of evolution on his death bed
6) The eye accidentally formed itself
7) Things evolve magically without natural selection involved
8) Evolution equals eugenics
9) Evolution has a GOAL

14) Evolution is a random process
15) There are no transition fossils
16) Homo Sapiens evolved from the Apes that exist today
17) The second law of thermodynamics makes evolution impossible
18) If evolution is true, Why do monkeys still exist?
19) Evolution requires faith
20) Survival of the fittest means organisms should go kill off weaker members of its species to make survival easier for the stronger members
21) Physical changes that occur during the lifetime of an organism will be passed onto their offspring
22) Survival of the fittest is circular logic
23) Only the fittest survive. (In actuality, if an organism survives to reproduce it is considered "fit").
24) Organisms evolve/mutate during their lifetime if a new selection pressure exerts itself.
25) Evolution caused slavery
26) Many scientists are now casting doubt on Darwin's theory
27) Charles Darwin is Satan
28) Evolution can't exist because of irreducible complexity
29) Evolution is JUST a theory
30) God made evolution so he could trick as many scientists as he could into believing it, instead of him, just so he could light them on fire for all eternity. But he still loves them
31) Homo Sapiens and dinosaurs existed at the same time. T-Rex used to be a vegetarian
32) Darwinists claim that ANY criticism of the theory of evolution is unscientific

43) Mutations are never beneficial
44) There are limits to biological change: new kinds never arise
45) Vertebrate embryos never resemble each other
46) Evolution must be wrong because gravity pulls things down, this clearly doesn't happen because birds can stay up in the air.

49) Evolution can never be proven because we didn't see it occur
