The world is very good at attacking Creationism and Christians are quite good at replying, especially if you have read some the literature that is around, however, I personally have found that once you are in that conversation I find it hard to criticise Evolution even though I can defend Creation to a point.
So how do you make that move, well here are a few of the main holes:
1. How to get from proteins to living cells, things don't just come alive, I think you would be a bit creeped out if your sofa started breathing and requiring food! It's the same principal. Creation God "breathed the breath of life into Adam" Gen 1
2. Mutations (required for one species to turn into another) are hardly ever beneficial. Generally they cause abnormalities that are a disadvantage eg. Cystic Fibrosis or there are a few "beneficial mutations" that actually aren't. Examples are 1. If you have one allele for sickle cell anaemia you have a greater resistivity to malaria, except if 2 people with one allele each may well have a sickle cell anaemia child who will be very poorly. 2. Some flies in the mountains don't have wings so they don't get blown off but this is loss of information not gain which doesn't make new species. If there are no helpful mutations there is no Evolution
3. Where are the transitional fossils?
The thing is it takes faith to believe that these difficulties will be solved, the same criticism evolutionists have of Christians and Creationists!
