Positive Contributions of Darwin
1)Evolution is a theory, not a "fact"
2)Both creation and evolution should be considered
3)Confirmed "microevolution"
4)Explained natural selection
5)Acknowledged gaps in the fossil record

Negative Contributions of Darwin
1)Affirmed the existence of transitional life forms even though not found in the actual fossil record
2)Falsely affirmed that microevolution proves macroevolution
3)Made a false analogy between artificial selection and natural selection
4)Darwin's theory was not based on nature, but on naturalistic philosophy

Why Evolution Cannot Account For All the Different
Kinds of Life Forms
1)Genetic limits
2)Cyclical change within a limited range
3)Irreducible complexity
4)No viability of transitional forms
