Evolutionary theory began long ago, way back before the current era. Long before Darwin wrote the famous The Origins of the Species they were thinking about how life came to be on this planet as well as how we were related to each other. Darwin laid down an evolutionary theory that had us evolved from a pond of fluids (non-organic) and sunlight turning into a cell. That sell then evolved into life as we know it through natural selection.
Over time we added some more information to how this evolution took place. But there are some huge flaws to evolutionary theory. As science has advanced we have brought forth evidence that makes evolution less likely to have happened.
Spontaneous Generation
As life has progressed, science advanced, and biological understanding increased it is known that spontaneous generation, the development of life from non-life, doesn't occur. At least it hasn't since the start of evolution. Rocks, space matter, even water and light, can not provide life. Life, even a single cell can not generate spontaneously. Biology often explains that, but without spontaneous generation evolution can not exist.
Complexity of Cells and Lifeforms
Even the simplest of single celled organism is a complex life form. Inside a single cell there are numerous systems and bodies working to carry out the needs of that cell. It takes in food, creates energy, eliminates waste products, and reproduces. It is hard to believe that spontaneous generation can take place at all, let alone something this complex.
The next phase of evolution requires that this single celled organism become more complex and actually developed into an organism with multiple cells, and systems all working together. This creature then developed into another organism an so on. Bioligacal knowledge of systems and complexity of creatures makes this hard to believe.
Natural Selection, Genetic Drift, and Mutations
Natural selection, or micro evolution, is observed. It is something that happens through circumstance and breeding choices. Genetic Drift is also seen in small instances, as is mutation. However, none of these observable happenings, supposedly responsible for evolution, have resulted in bringing a species or organism into a higher order. These things make small changes to populations and in some cases lead to illness, death, and incapability. This is especially true with genetic drift and mutations. These things usually make a species weaker, not stronger.
