Real evolution vs. popular evolutionary faith

By Babu G. Ranganathan
 

There are two types of evolution, micro-evolution and macro-evolution. Micro-evolution is fact and truly science. Macro-evolution simply is imaginary and blind faith.

Micro-evolution involves variations within a biological kind or natural species (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, horses, cows, etc.). Micro-evolution is the expression, over time, of already existing genes. Evolution is possible only if there's information (i.e. genes, genetic code) directing it. Only new combinations or variations of already existing genes are possible, which means only limited evolution and adaptations are possible in nature. Nature is totally mindless and has no ability to perform genetic engineering or invent entirely new genes by way of random genetic mutations caused by random forces of the environment such as radiation. That's blind evolutionary faith, not science. Read my Internet article, WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS.

We have breeds, or "races," of dogs today that we didn't have a few hundred years ago. The genes for these new races or breeds always existed in the dog population. They just didn't have opportunity for expression until much later. All species of life carry both expressed and unexpressed genes. When we witness new variations within a natural species, we're simply witnessing is the expression of previously existing genes. The genes were always there. The genes themselves didn't evolve.

How do we know that the genes were always there and didn't evolve? Because genes are chemical information. Chemical information, like other forms of information, does not arise spontaneously (by chance). An intelligent power had to have placed the information (i.e. genes). Certainly, mindless Nature or the environment could not have done it.

Macro-evolution teaches that life can change across "kinds" (i.e. from sea sponge to human) if given millions of years.  However, there are genetic limits to biological change. Evolutionists realize this. In order for biological change to occur across biological kinds, there must be a way for entirely new genes to come into existence, and not just variations or new combinations of already existing genes. Evolutionists hope and believe, by blind faith, that environmentally produced genetic mutations will provide those new genes. Mutations are accidental changes in the genetic code caused by random environmental forces such as radiation. Radiation is mindless, so when energy from radiation penetrates the genetic code that radiation randomly changes the sequential structure of the genetic code. The genetic code is made up of molecules arranged in a certain sequence, just like the letters in a sentence. This sequence tells the body how to build cells, tissues, and various organs. To change a fish into a human being over millions of years would require changing the code.

Evolutionists teach that, if given millions of years, random genetic mutations caused by mindless radiation or other factors in the environment will produce entirely new genes in natural species so that evolution can occur across kinds, from one type of life form into another. However, genetic mutations, caused by radiation, are destructive, not constructive, because mutations are accidents in the genetic code caused by the environment. That's why we protect ourselves from radiation! Even if mutations are not immediately harmful, after enough of them accumulate they will be harmful. And, even if a good mutation does occur, for every good mutation there will be hundreds of harmful ones with the net effect, over time, being harmful to the species as a whole and even causing extinction, not upward evolution. The evolutionist belief that mutations can change a fish into a human being over millions of years is similar to believing that randomly changing the sequence of letters in a romance novel, over millions of years, will change it into a book on astronomy.

What about "Junk DNA?" It isn't junk. Recent research, published in journals such as Nature and RNA, shows that these "non-coding" segments of DNA called "junk" are vital in regulating gene expression (i.e. when, where, and how genes are expressed in the body). We simply were ignorant of the usefulness of these segments of DNA.

At best, mutations produce only variations of already existing genes. Mutations may change the gene(s) for human hair so that another type of human hair develops, but it'll still be human hair and not feathers or something else. Most biological variations are from new combinations of already existing genes, not mutations. Mutations may also trigger the duplication of already existing traits (i.e. extra fingers, extra toes, etc.) but this is not the same as the creation of new traits. 

But, don't genes come together randomly in our bodies when reproductive cells are produced? Yes, but the individual genes themselves didn't originate by chance. Imagine in a dance, individual partners come together randomly. That doesn't mean the individuals themselves came into existence by chance. Genes combine by chance but that doesn't mean the individual genes came into existence by chance!
