The Collapse of Darwinism

So far, my favorite is from Chapter 3:"...and a seemingly conscious cell membrane..."This is a new one on me.Then they say right after:"For a cell to survive, it has to have all these organelles in place at once...this could not have arisen through a series of coincidences."Nice, not only wrong, but misleading at the same time.Then they say that Crick said DNA could never arise by chance.
I can think of one quote that can be twisted, but even after twisting it doesn't quite say what they want it to.I also love how they exhalt the Encyclopedia Brittanica! This thing is funny. I hope no one ever takes it seriously.Jonny Cochrane would be proud:
"There is no mechanism for this alleged process called Evolution..."Yeah, Chapter 4 is one long lie.Then in Chapter 6, they use a tactic to say that Archeopterix is not a transitional species because there are existing birds with claws at the ends of their wings. Then they say that fish could never have come onto land, but there are existing "fish" species that come onto land, etc.

ok, what kills me the most is that they don't have a problem with an Earth that is at least 500 myo. Then they talk about all these extinct species. I think they are implying that EVERY species that ever lived was alive on Earth at one time. This poses a multitude of problems.When they talk about the Cambrian Explosion, they talk about trilobites, etc. but they don't talk about the Cambrian humans.They don't explain why there are no stories involving trilobite stew, no ancient records about hunting Diplodocus.Do they expect someone to buy their version of creationism, one that looks like evolution in every way, but does not involve physical mechanisms, only the supernatural?This message has been edited by gnojek, 06-06-2005 08:38 PMThis message has been edited by gnojek, 06-06-2005 08:38 PM
