Evolution:
the subject that has been long debated. First and foremost it is important to
keep in mind that is STILL just a theory and a speculative theory at that.
Darwin himself knew this and acknowledged it. He just hoped that time would
vindicate him. David Rop, Curator of the Museum of Natural History in Chicago
wrote:
“We
are now over 120 years since Darwin and the knowledge on the fossil record has
been greatly expanded. We now have a quarter of a million fossil species but
the situation hasn’t changed much. We have fewer examples of evolutionary
transition than we did in Darwin’s time”
Molecular
biologist Michael John Denton (born 25 August 1943) is a British-Australian
author and biochemist is wrote a book entitled Evolution: A Theory in Crisis.
He says,
"There
can be no question that Darwin had nothing like sufficient evidence to
establish his theory of evolution […] His general theory, that all life on
earth had originated and evolved by a gradual successive accumulation of
fortuitous mutations, is still, as it was in Darwin’s time, a highly
speculative hypothesis entirely without direct factual support and very far
from that self-evident axiom some of its more aggressive advocates would have
us believe. One might have expected that a theory of such cardinal importance,
a theory that literally changed the world, would have been something more than
metaphysics, something more than a myth.” (pages 69, 77, 358)
Although
most (aggressive) atheists and non-believers will stop you at “evolution is NOT
a theory”, let me remind you in the words of Dr. Denton:
“Darwin’s
model of evolution […] being basically a theory of historical reconstruction,
is impossible to verify by experiment or direct observation as is normal in science.
Moreover, the theory of evolution deals with a series of unique events, the
origin of life, the origin of intelligence and so on. Unique events are
unrepeatable and cannot be subjected to any sort of experimental
investigation.” (page 75)
“The
overriding supremacy of the myth has created a widespread illusion that the
theory of evolution was all but proved one hundred years ago… Nothing could be
further from the truth.” (page 77)
"Molecular
biology has shown that even the simplest of all living systems on earth today,
bacterial cells, are exceedingly complex objects. Although the tiniest
bacterial cells are incredibly small, weighing less than 10−12gms, each is in
effect a veritable micro-miniaturized factory containing thousands of
exquisitely designed pieces of intricate molecular machinery, made up
altogether of one hundred thousand million atoms, far more complicated than any
machine built by man and absolutely without parallel in the nonliving world. Molecular
biology has also shown that the basic design of the cell system is
essentially the same in all-living systems on earth from bacteria to mammals.
In all organisms the roles of DNA,
mRNA
and protein
are identical. The meaning of the genetic code is also virtually identical in
all cells. The size, structure and component design of the protein synthetic
machinery is practically the same in all cells.
In terms of their basic biochemical design, therefore no living system can be
thought of as being primitive or ancestral with respect to any other system,
nor is there the slightest empirical hint of an evolutionary sequence among all
the incredibly diverse cells on earth.” (page 250)
Homology
is the similarity of structures between different types of organisms. Some have
argued that these similarities are evidence of one common ancestor. However,
when the concentration of red blood cells is used, utilizing the ideas of
homology, man is more closely related to frogs, fish, and birds than to sheep.
But now, with the development of molecular biology we are able to make a
comparison of the same cells in different species, which adds a whole new
dimension to homology. Unfortunately, for the evolutionists, molecular biology
does as all other evidences do: presents greater argument against evolution
theory.
In
molecular biology, proteins of the same type in different organisms can be
tested for difference in amino acid makeup. The figure resulting is converted
into a percentage. The lower the percentage, the less difference there is
between the proteins. Dr. Michael Denton, in experiments with Cytochrome C, a
protein that converts food into energy, and hemoglobin, found the
following.

Dr.
Denton states, "There is not a trace at a molecular level of the
traditional evolutionary series: fish to amphibian to reptile to mammal.
Incredibly man is closer to lamprey than are fish." The evidence is clear;
evolution is struck another hard blow!
