Apologetics: Is Evolution True?
The transition of life from lizard to eagle according to those who believe in Macroevolution is the result of a series of mutations and natural selection. Additional information is introduced into the living system’s genetic blueprint. This mutation followed by the natural selection, selects those aspects that are beneficial, allowing upward mutation. This new genetic information is passed to following generation. These transitional forms are the precursors of today’s life forms. However, the fossil record of these forms is non-existent. Dr. Etheridge from the British Museum commented on this lack of transitional forms:
"Nine-tenths of the talk of evolutionists is sheer nonsense, not founded on observation and wholly unsupported by facts.
This museum is full of proofs of the utter falsity of their views. In all this great museum, there is not a particle of evidence of the transmutation of species."
Natural Selection (Microevolution)
Microevolution is distinct from macroevolution no mutation is involved. Microevolution or adaptation uses the genetic variety already in the system of the living organism. For example, within every person is a gene code with genetic potential. If a 7-foot woman man married, a 5-foot man there is a certain probability that if they had 100 children a certain percentage will be 7 foot and 5 foot. However, zero probability that they will develop wings. In order for the couples children to develop wings new genetic information needs introduction into their genetic code. Since there is no outside intelligent source for this information, mutation is the only viable method. This is the difference between microevolution and macroevolution. Darrel Kautz, author of the Origin of Living Things comments on this distinction:
"People are misled into believing that since microevolution is a reality, that therefore macroevolution is such a reality also. Evolutionists maintain that over long periods of time small-scale changes accumulate in such a way as to generate new and more complex organisms ... This is sheer illusion, for there is no scientific evidence whatever to support the occurrence of biological change on such a grand scale. In spite of all the artificial breeding which has been done, and all the controlled efforts to modify fruit flies, the bacillus escherichia (E-coli), and other organisms, fruit flies remain fruit flies, E-coli bacteria remain E-coli bacteria, roses remain roses, corn remains corn, and human beings remain human beings."
The genetic code is a one way street. Information cannot be written in or altered.
The evolutionist would have us believe in hocus pocus - that a spontaneous random mutation did just that.
"We are here" is the after the fact rhetoric used to justify this belief.
George C. Williams:
"You can speak of galaxies and particles of dust in the same terms, because they both have mass and charge and length and width. You can't do that with information and matter. Information doesn't have mass or charge or length in millimeters. Likewise, matter doesn't have bytes....This dearth of shared descriptors makes matter and information two separate domains of existence, which have to be discussed separately, in their own terms." "The Third Culture: Beyond the Scientific Revolution", [1995] pages 42,43
Thus information is not matter. If the materialist insists matter is all there ever was then how did the information get recorded into a cell ? Information is synonymous with intelligence in order for it to exist - not a matter of opinion.
Now, back to random mutation. We know different species of animals can only reproduce with their own kind. It would be a miracle for random mutation to produce a male and a female in the same time and place for them to reproduce. But the evolutionist, because he must exclude a Creator regardless, asserts that this is what happened in every case of every new species. Somehow a random mutation produced a male and a female for them to propagate the new species. LOL !
