Alright, first off, popular opinion is not always correct. If opinion merely concerns whether Deny's is better that Applebee's, then it doesn't matter too much. However, if an opinion contradicts concrete truth, then it is wrong.
Most of the imformation which I will be using comes from Biology: God's Living Creation, published in 1986 (I know it's not the most up to date, but the basics of evolution have not changed drastically) by Beka Book Publications. Other sources will be cited if I use them.
The very basis of evolution is flawed. Firstly, the cell principle is the truth that all living things are compsed of living units called cells and that all cells come from living material. Evolution by its very nature teaches that living matter developed by non-living matter. This has been proven to simply not be possible. Secondly, spontaneous generation, the belief that living things can arise from nonliving things apart from a creator, has been proven to be impossible by Francesco Redi and Louis Pasteur. However, evolutionists believe that since there was no creator, matter must have formed from something, even though this has been proven to be absolutely and completely impossible. Finally, the first law of Thermodynamics states that energy is lost and not gained--basically that lower things can not become higher things. Think about this: I have a house, and I put in 200 pounds of dynamite in it and light the fuse. What's going to happen? Is this huge explosion going to result in a mansion that was greater than what originally existed? Might it form something of lesser grandeur but still with form and shape? Or is it going to be merely a pile of rubble? Evolution says that the first option, the construction of a chatteau, will happen when my house blows up. This sounds absurd, but it's exactly what evolution teaches about the big bang and the development of a lower mass into a greater one. However, it also states that this palace will then turn into a living breathing giant over time...just give it long enough.
Evolutionists, beginning with Charles Lyell and developing with Darwin, taught this because they believe in the principle of uniformity--that the present is the key to the past; that all things continue by natural processes as they have always done. This means that since creation isn't happening NOW, it never happened. While it is an extreme use of this logic, the eventual conclusion leads to the false idea that since an earthquake isn't happening NOW, an earthquake never happened. It is very illogical, but it is a key to the Theory of Evolution. However, they have grasped this because it rejects God. Instead of having to form their lives to moral principles such as the 10 Commandments and 8 Beatitudes, they could follow their fallen human nature because their science 'proved' that there was no God, and they were then not required to do what they did not want. Basically, Evolution allows one to follow the path of least resistance without having to answer a higher authority. Thus, it has become popular worldwide with largely hedonistic and athiestic societies.
Evolution has no basis on real science, but it has been widely accepted because it does not call man to a higher place, but caters to his current level. Change is difficult, and Evolution, which is practically a religion, has allowed men to ignore God's call to sanctity, holiness, and eternal life with Him.
