Is Darwinism dead?

Quotes from other researchers:

Information from an intelligent source ?

Evolution tells us that through chance mutations and natural selection, living things evolve. Yet to evolve means to gradually change certain aspects of some living thing until it becomes another type of creature. This can only be done by changing the genetic information.

To assume that the genetic code gradually evolved Darwinian style would break all the known rules of how matter, energy and the laws of nature work. No single example of an info system inside a cell gradually evolving into another functional info program has been found in nature.

How could the genetic data of bacteria gradually evolve into data for another type, when only a few minor mutations in the millions of letters in that bacterium’s DNA can kill it?

The data at the core of life is not disorganized, not simply orderly like salt crystals, but complex and so specific that it can accomplish a bewildering task: the building of biological machines that far outstrip human technological capabilities.

Genetic information is primarily an instruction manual: a list of step-by-step genetic instructions. A mutation is just a change in one of the lines. Instead of stating, “Take a ¼-inch nut,” a mutation may state, “Take a ½-inch nut.” Or instead of “Put round peg in round hole,” we may get “Put round peg in square hole”. A mutation cannot change all the instructions in one step, like providing instructions to build a TV instead of a radio.

Each cell with DNA info, from bacteria to man, consists of artificial languages and their decoding systems, memory banks for information storage and retrieval, elegant control systems regulating the automated assembly of parts and components, error fail-safe and proof-reading devices utilized for quality control, assembly processes involving the principle of prefabrication and modular construction, and a capacity to replicate its entire structure within a matter of hours.

The same basic quality of info exists in a humble bacteria, a plant, or human being. A bacterium’s shorter genetic code gives instructions as precisely and exquisitely as the code for a human being. The same prerequisites of a language: alphabet, grammar, syntax, and semantics.

Our genetic code is thus an immensely complex instruction manual that has been majestically designed by a more intelligent source than us.

Thinking that the basis of life is super simple has been severely smashed. Vision, motion, and other biological functions have proven to be more sophisticated than television cameras and automobiles.

The elegant complexity of biological systems at the molecular level paralyzed science’s attempt to explain the origins.

Evolution has had its run for almost 150 years in the schools and universities and in the press. However, with the recent discoveries as described above, evolution can no longer dodge the ultimate outcome: a resounding checkmate!
