Abstract
Advocates of creationism highlight certain issues to discount the theory of evolution. They pinpoint gaps in the fossil evidence supporting this theory. They emphasize the absurdity of producing complex physical adaptations in animals through the simplistic mechanism of natural selection. They assert that a divine designer was responsible for the emergence of all living things. Evolutionists counter these arguments by citing recent fossil discoveries, explaining the cumulative effect of natural selection and querying the alleged designer’s motives for mal-mutations among organisms.
