People reject the theory of evolution because it is not true. It goes against the laws of physics thereby making it absolutely impossible.
Case Closed!!!
Do you understand evolution? Do evolutionists themselves understand evolution?
Yes. Also, yes.
Evolution undermines no laws of physics, and any claim that it does proves inherent misunderstanding. Therefore, I predict great volumes of cut and paste 'refutations' on the subject.

Evolution breaks the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the Law of Biogenesis, and the Law of Information. I do understand the hypothesis of evolution, and I reject it.

And I am not cutting and pasting anything. If you want my explanation of why it breaks these laws, all you have to do is ask.

(But please everyone remember that religious debate is against site rules. We should keep this scientific.)
Explain yourself.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that the overall entropy of the universe can only increase or stay the same. Entropy is the measure I disorder. Evolution says that everything initially came from a big explosion, and eventually stars, planets, and life formed. Life itself has been evolving into more complex and efficient forms. This is attaining incredibly higher levels of order from nothing but randomly dispersed matter resulting from explosion. But the Second Law says that the universe should only become more *dis*ordered.

The Law of Biogenesis says that life can only come from life. But evolution claims that once in history life came from random chemicals in some primordial pool.

The Law of Information says that information can only come from an intelligence--a mind. But according to evolution all the mind-bogglingly vast amounts of information stored in all the DNA of all living organisms arose by random chance, with no mind behind it at all.

Who is to say that what we have now is more ordered? Thats a subjective opinion, so there goes your 'refutation' of thermodynamics. As for your other two 'laws' they have nothing to do with physics and are in fact made up by creationists. So, all your posts in summation prove one thing only: the OP is correct.
I think people reject evolution for the same reasons they reject creation. Religion. People who are religious sometimes aren't very accomodating of other views. Both theories, if taken to their logical conclusion, say that something was created out of nothing. I think you have to be pretty religious, or have a great imagination, to adhere to either view.
Entropy says that in the formation of order there is a compensating probability for disorder. This has nothing to do with evolution. Your other two examples are either created by 'creationists' or vastly out of date and context. It was you who said to keep religion out of it, so no creationist rehetoric. Try again.

Cut-and-paste, as foretold in my prophesy. I should've seen the clip-art though...
u can't profesize man, das rilijin.

The theory of evolution does not address the Big Bang or star and planet formation. So no, you do not understand it and therefore should not refute it.
