Introduction
If you are an evolutionist, you believe that natural processes formed all present life from chemicals to one-celled organisms through stages of "higher" organisms, culminating in humans, and furthermore, that this process, being driven by natural selection and random chance, took billions of years, and therefore the Earth and the whole universe is several billion years old. I'm going to describe eight specific reasons why the theory of evolution is seriously flawed and why an intelligent Creator must have designed and created the universe.

1. Information Theory
One important argument against evolution is the fact that information always requires an intelligent mind. It appears to be a real law of nature that information can never develop of its own accord. It is like the way a book is much more than just the paper and ink that comprises its physical form. The information inside it can only be produced (and then understood and used) by an intelligent being. The information in books is intended to be conveyed to another intelligent being.

Life itself also contains information. All life contains the genetic information to both make it run and, under the right circumstances, reproduce itself. Linguistics shows that DNA is literally a language containing four letters, and comparisons to computer science show that DNA is the most compact form of information that we know of, more compact that any form of data storage that humans have made. Originally, this information had to come from an intelligent being.

2. Mutations and Variation of Species
According to evolution, mutations are supposed to be the mechanism by which species evolve new traits and become more complex. However, genetics has shown that mutations are almost always harmful and always destroy information rather than creating it. As point 1 shows, information has to come from an intelligent being, and so natural mutations cannot create genetic information that is not already in the genetic code. Individual members of a species exhibit various ranges of their traits, and traits can even be bred to extremes, as we have done with many different varieties of dogs, but all dogs are still dogs and still produce dogs, and they all (except for possible inconvenient size differences) can interbreed. And if breeders attempt to breed the most extreme value of a trait, they usually find a genetic limit on how far they can take it. A dog will not grow as large as an elephant even if breeders keep breeding the
