reasons why scientists reject darwinian evolution
1)
mutations
mutation changes are random, unpredictable errors that cause diseases, loss of function and the destruction of the person or animal.
They destroy the species and there is no evidence for mutations leading to an entire new kind
2) transitional fossil
The fossil record has no intermediate or transitional forms. It only has individual species that went extinct for example, the coelcanth was set to be transitional until it was found alive and unchanged.
3) fossil record
fossil records show no evidence for the other thousands of creatures which had negative mutations .
4) DNA
Creatures are locked in DNA code. I kind of animal cannot change into an entire new kind. For example, mammal to bird. selective breeding is possible.
5) chromosome
The number of chromosomes in your dna cannot change. Offspring groups will usually be sterile.
