Prophets or
Evolution - An LDS Perspective Chapter 18 Non-Mathematical
Concepts "If the brain were simple
enough to understand, we would be too simple to understand it." Quoted in: Listening to Prozac by Peter D. Kramer Story #1: The Space
Shuttle Let us
suppose you had been in charge of building the first American space
shuttle. You would have had hundreds of
PhDs, and other experts, working for you, directly or indirectly. Let us
consider some of the things involved in building the first space shuttle. First, you (or
someone who works for you) would have to have an understanding of the
mathematics of planetary motion and space flight. You would have to be able to calculate where
the space shuttle is going to go. Of
course, there had been space flights before the shuttle, but the mathematics
still has to take place because each flight is unique. Second,
there is the technology of metals and ceramics.
The space shuttle has to go into space and has to come back. Thus, the metal must be protected from the
extreme heat of re-entry. Plus the space
shuttle has to be as light as possible, but strong enough to survive each trip
(the shuttles are designed to be reusable). Third, is
the technology of chemistry. Very dangerous chemical reactions occur
during a space flight, and these dangerous toxic chemicals must be safely
removed from the shuttle after landing. Fourth, are
the computers, both on the ground and in the spacecraft. An enormous amount of effort needs to go into
the software (i.e. the computer programs) and the hardware (the computers). Fifth, are the communications equipment. You don't go down to Radio ShackŪ to buy the
types of radios they used to communicate between the ground and the space
shuttle. Sixth, is
the actual construction of the space shuttle. The space shuttle wasn't built in someone's
garage by a group of car mechanics. It
is an enormous structure which requires a huge building for its construction and
many people to construct it. Seventh,
are all of the issues related to launching the space shuttle, such as the
chemicals in the rockets. These are the people to whom the common term
"rocket scientist" refer (e.g. the popular
phrase: "What do you think I am, a rocket scientist?"). Eighth, is
the aerodynamics of the space shuttle. In order to be reusable, it must land
safely. It must come all the way from
space and land on a landing strip that must seem, to the astronauts, the size
of a postage stamp. Ninth, is
the training of the astronauts and the many people who work with them. And the
list goes on and on. Building a space
shuttle, launching it, and landing it, is a huge task involving thousands of
people who are technical experts at what they do. The First Grade Class Suppose you
had been in charge of coordinating all of these highly trained astronomers,
mathematicians, chemists, numerous kinds of engineers, etc. etc. Now suppose,
as the head of the space shuttle team, you are invited by a first grade class
(i.e. 6 year old students), at a local grade school, to come and meet with the
class. There are 25 first graders in the
class. You agree to come and talk about
the space shuttle. You walk
into the class, with all kinds of pretty pictures. However, the class does not want to see any pretty
pictures; they want to actually build a space shuttle as a class project!! What they
want you to do is give them enough technical information so they can build
their own full-size space shuttle. You
find out they will give you half an hour to tell them how to make a space
shuttle. Then, after your lecture, they
are prepared to take over and they are confident they will be able to build,
launch and land a full-size space shuttle by themselves. You, of
course, would be both humored and horrified.
You know that this class cannot build a space shuttle any more than 25 alley
cats can build and fly a Boeing 747. You know
that perhaps when these children grow up, and if they were joined by thousands
of others, perhaps they could help
build a space shuttle, but you also know that a class of 25 first graders is
not going to be able to build a space shuttle from scratch, after a thirty
minute lecture or even ten thousand hours of lectures. How This Relates to the
Theory of Evolution When human
DNA was first discovered and analyzed, it was thought that it was not very
complex, just like the above school class did not understand the complexity of
building a space shuttle. Some of the
first estimates as to what percentage of human DNA was necessary for life were
2.5%. Scientists
claimed that the other 97.5% of human DNA contained a lot of leftover DNA from
our ancestor species, which was no longer necessary for humans. This was a major "evidence" for the
theory of evolution for many years. However, as
time passed a lot of things changed. The
incredible complexity of DNA started to be unraveled. It is now known that at least 50% of DNA is
necessary for life, and there are strong suspicions that almost all of our DNA
will eventually be shown to be necessary for life. Over time,
the concept that our DNA contained a lot of leftover DNA from our ancestor
species (such as genes which had been used for our ancestor species, which are
not needed by humans), was no longer mentioned and the concept was buried
because it looked like all of our DNA would eventually be understood to be
important. So what
happened to all of the genes which were needed by our ancestor species, but
which are no longer needed by humans?
There is no mechanism to remove these obsolete genes, thus they would forever
be stuck on our DNA. I call this
phenomenon: "genetic leftovers."
Scientists cannot find these leftover genes and other genetic material
on our human DNA. This is strong
evidence that the theory of evolution is false.
Nucleotides which would be on human DNA, if evolution were true, are not
there. DNA has 3
billion pairs of nucleotides. In one
hundred years, scientists will look back at 2009 and state that scientists
didn't have a clue how DNA functioned in 2009. Yet, there
is already a dictionary specific to genetics called: A Dictionary of
Genetics, by King, Stansfield and Mulligan. This is a standard size book, with small
print, which has 484 pages of
definitions and more than a hundred pages in its Appendix. Did you note that there were not 484
definitions, there were 484 pages
of definitions? That is how complex the
study of genetics is. Yet scientists
still don't have a clue about many key things with regards to DNA. Discoveries
in genetics happen so fast that any dictionary (even online dictionaries) will
be slightly obsolete within weeks after they are published and will be totally
obsolete within a few years. DNA is
composed of pairs of molecules called nucleotides. There are four different kinds of
nucleotides, which have the initials: A, C, G and T. There are 6 billion nucleotides in one human
DNA, but they are paired together. Thus,
there are 3 billion pairs of nucleotides in each human DNA strand. They are pairs because an 'A' is always
paired with a 'T" and a 'C' is always paired with a 'G'. Each and
every one of the 100 trillion cells in our bodies has the same DNA strand (each
person's unique DNA strand) of 3 billion pairs of nucleotides (there are a few
exceptions to this rule). Different
kinds of cells will pick different subsets of these 3 billion pairs of
nucleotides in order to create the proteins needed for that type of cell. This means
there are about: 600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 nucleotides in the average
person's body!! When the person was
conceived there was one DNA strand and 6 billion nucleotides. So what is
a DNA sequence or DNA strand used for?
DNA is essentially nothing but information. The DNA contains sequences which are called
"genes." Genes are templates
for making proteins (though it is a lot more complex than that, as will be
discussed in a future chapter). The DNA is
also a template for making the molecules needed to convert the genes into
proteins and to control what happens to the proteins after they are made. The DNA
also includes what might be termed "computer programs." These programs are a complex system of timers
and feedback mechanisms needed to control the morphing of the embryo, the
clotting of blood when you get a cut, how your eye reacts to light, and many,
many things which happen inside the cells or outside the cells (e.g. in the
blood stream). The
computer program which controls the morphing of the embryo is more
sophisticated than any computer program ever written by a human being. It is more complex than any person can even comprehend!! That is why scientists cannot find all the
pieces of the computer program on the DNA.
They don't know what they are looking for because they have only a small
clue how the program works. DNA is a
lot of highly, highly complex information.
Never forget that. While the
amount of information in DNA may be compared to a huge set of volumes of an
encyclopedia; when taking into account the complexity of information in human
DNA, DNA has more complex information in it than any library. Where is
science in their understanding of DNA? First, let
us consider the brain: "They (the speaker's son and
another medical student) learned of a brain bathed in fluid which continually
receives signals from 130 million light receptors in the eyes, 24,000 hearing
receptors in the ears, 10,000 taste buds, and hundreds of thousands of
receptors in the skin, with specialized commission to recognize touch,
vibration, cold, heat and pain." Douglas L. Callister, BYU-Idaho
Devotional, November 8, 2005 How in the
world could a single cell, at the time of conception, end up being transformed
into a brain (see the quote at the top of this chapter) and many other organs
and biological structures? When the
egg of a mother is fertilized, the new baby starts as a single cell, meaning
the fertilized egg. When the new baby is
born it has a brain capable of the above mentioned feats. The information needed to create the brain,
which by itself has hundreds of different kinds of cells, is totally and
completely built into the DNA in the mother's egg. Yet not one brain cell of the future baby
exists at the time of conception. The
fertilized egg is called "undifferentiated," meaning it has no
specific function. Do you
think scientists could design DNA to replicate making a brain as just
mentioned? It would be easier for the
first grade class above to build and fly a space shuttle. As another
example, suppose a paleontologist dug up a complete skeleton of a rare type of
dinosaur which went extinct millions of years ago (using the time frame of the
evolution establishment). This fossil
would have zero DNA left in it. Could
scientists design the DNA of this creature, and put the DNA in several egg
shells, along with other things inside the egg shells; such that several dinosaurs
would hatch and the species would live again and be able to generate new
generations of dinosaurs? The answer is:
absolutely not!! Until
scientists can do that, they really don't know much about DNA. Scientists
can build a space shuttle fairly easily, but they are nowhere near able to
design and build DNA; put it inside of several egg shells and revive an extinct
species, both male and female, which are able to reproduce. And that is
the point. Designing DNA as complex as
human DNA is a technology which is far, far beyond the current capabilities of
human scientists. Furthermore,
scientists would NEVER be able
to figure out how DNA works without being able to study what God has already
done. Here is a
test for science. Isolate 100 very smart
students who are in first grade. Isolate
them from all other students for 20 years.
Do not tell them about DNA or anything related to DNA. Do you think they could figure out what DNA
was, or do you think they could design the DNA necessary to create a human brain
or recreate an extinct dinosaur? Not in
ten thousand years. Scientists have to see DNA in order to have a clue what it does. Science has to steal ideas from DNA in order
to understand anything about DNA. Since
scientists have no clue how the morphing of the embryo algorithm works in DNA,
scientists would have no clue how to design a morphing of the embryo
algorithm. They have to steal the plans
from existing DNA. But they can't even
do that yet. Everything
scientists know about DNA they learned by studying existing DNA, and they still
don't understand human DNA very well, after over 50 years of studying it. Without stealing thousands of ideas from
existing DNA, scientists would have an impossible task designing the DNA of an
extinct species. Current
scientists are not even in the "first grade" when it comes to being
able to design new DNA for new species (or new DNA for extinct species). Yet, as always, they claim to be ready for
the challenge like the first grade class mentioned above. Science
claims that the complex motor in bacteria with flagellum are
not signs of intelligent design. Then
why don't they have someone who has never seen the DNA of any type of bacteria;
build a new DNA strand which can create the complex motor (including all the
incredible specifications of the motor and the actual construction of the motor
and the repair of any damage to the motor) in the bacterial flagellum?? A better
challenge would be for them to design the bacterial flagellum DNA by using
random mutations of DNA. Computers are
fast enough to generate trillions of random mutations of DNA (in a computer). But I guarantee you they cannot do that
either. Modern
evolutionists are not even to the point of being first graders, when it comes
to creating DNA for a new species which is not a slight modification of an
existing species. Yet they proclaim they
are in graduate school in understanding DNA. Yet, even
though they are not in first grade yet, they claim to know enough to proclaim
that evolution created human DNA by a long series of accidents over a long,
long period of time. Can
something which is incomprehensibly sophisticated be created by accident? Evolutionists
claim that there is nothing which is so complex as to justify believing in
"intelligent design." Yet,
their understanding of DNA is still less that that of a "first
grader." There is
something functionally wrong with their claims.
They don't know what they are talking about. If very
intelligent human beings are no where near being able to design the DNA of an
extinct species (even after already spending over 50 years looking at DNA
designed by God), it is absolute nonsense to believe that human DNA was created
by a long series of accidents. Story #2: Air Force Pilot
Manuals One retired
Air Force pilot was asked: If all the textbooks and frequently used reference
manuals he studied during pilot school were stacked on top of each other, how
high would the stack be? His reply was:
"About 12 feet." There is
more information, and more complex information, in the DNA of a mouse than in
those 12 feet of books!! The pilot
training books and reference manuals were written by experts in their field,
much of it by long-time pilots themselves; but also by many engineers and
others. The amount of expertise in these
manuals is staggering. Do you
think that future pilots would want someone to start randomly changing the
words in their textbooks and reference books; and randomly changing the numbers,
drawings and diagrams in their books? Yet, the theory
of evolution is based on taking a perfectly good DNA strand, and randomly
mutating it to end up with a superior species which has new and superior genetic
information!! Phase 1 Let us
consider the 12 foot high stack of textbooks and frequently used reference
books used to train pilots in the Air Force. Suppose
there are ten sets or copies of original textbooks (and reference books) used
by Air Force pilots in their training.
Suppose ten different people are each given one 12 foot tall stack of
textbooks and they are told to make 10,000 different random changes to the
pages in their stack. These
changes include changes to words (e.g. randomly changing the word
"north" to "east" or "south"), numbers (e.g.
randomly changing 35 degrees to 47 degrees or 12 degrees), graphs (i.e.
changing the slope or shape of a graph), etc. After these
ten different people make 10,000 random changes to their copy of the original
stack of books, there are ten different mutated copies of the 12 foot high set
of books. Now suppose
ten different groups of 100 student pilots are trained to fly using these 10
different stacks of mutated books (each group of 100 student pilots exclusively
uses a different set of modified stacks of books), not knowing that they are
looking at modified versions of their original textbooks and reference books. The stacks
of books used by the groups of student pilots are called: Group 1, Group 2,
Group 3, etc. These ten
stacks of mutated textbooks and reference books represent the random mutations
of DNA in the theory of evolution. But now we
need to simulate "natural selection."
This is how we will "select" which set of mutated books are
"superior": We will
"select" the set of mutated books which kills the least number of
pilots over the course of the first two years after they finish pilot school. To be more
specific, two years after these ten groups of student pilots complete their
training (exclusively using their set of mutated books); we will note how many
of the pilots are still alive in each group. Suppose, in
this hypothetical example, two years later, in two of the groups, 35 of the
pilots are still alive. Suppose these
are Group 3 and Group 7. The rest of the
groups have less than 35 of their original 100 pilots still alive. Using this
statistic (i.e. survival of the pilots) we will "select" the two
stacks of books which were used by these two groups (Group 3 and Group 7) and
throw the other stacks away (i.e. survival of the fittest). Phase 2 We will now
make 5 copies of the Group 3 stack of books and 5 copies of the Group 7 stack
of books. All 10 groups of books have
already had 10,000 random changes made to them from the first round of random
mutations. We will
then have ten new people make 10,000 additional
random changes to each of the 10 stacks of already mutated stacks of books (5
from Group 3 and 5 from Group 7). These 10
stacks of books now have a total of 20,000 cumulative random changes made to
them. Beneficial mutations, which just
happened to improve the information in the books, are extremely, extremely rare,
but let us assume such events do happen.
But the vast number of mutations made to these books
create either: harmless, false or dangerous information. Now we will
again take ten new groups of 100 student pilots, who will use these 10 new
stacks of mutated books in their training (each group of 100 student pilots
uses a different set of modified stacks), not knowing that there were any
changes made to their books. The stacks
of books and groups of student pilots are called: Group 3‑1, Group 3‑2,
Group 3‑3, Group 3‑4, Group 3‑5, and Group 7‑1, Group 7‑2,
Group 7‑3, Group 7‑4, and Group 7‑5. After 2
years we note that only one of the groups has any of the new pilots left. This is Group 3‑5 (of the new group of
pilots) and it has 3 pilots still alive. Using the "natural
selection" and "survival of the fittest" criteria above, for
selecting which stack of books will be used for the next sets of pilots and
which will be thrown away; we will "select" the stack of books which
were used by Group 3‑5. We will now
make 10 copies of the Group 3‑5 stack of books. These stacks of books already have 20,000
random changes made to them. We will now
have ten new people make 10,000 additional random changes to the words, numbers
and graphs in these books. Likewise, ten
new groups of 100 student pilots will use these new mutated textbooks and
reference books. The ten
stacks of books have 30,000 randomly modified words, numbers and graphs. The stacks
of books and groups of pilots are called: Group 3‑5‑1, Group 3‑5‑2,
Group 3‑5‑3, etc. We note
that within 2 months of graduation, none of the pilots are alive in any of the ten
groups. Now we have
a problem. All of the groups had the
same number of surviving pilots (none). How
will we decide which of the stacks of books to "select" for the next
group of pilots? Comments In this
process we "selected" the sets of mutated books which killed the
least number of pilots for use for the next new set of pilot trainees. Here is the
question: Is this a good way to train pilots for the Air Force? The answer
is obviously: no. When you
start with a virtually perfect set of manuals, mutations almost always do harm
to the information, and thus to the pilots.
Yes, there will be extremely rare instances where a mutation actually
improves the information in a book, but these will be very rare and will be
overwhelmed by the negative changes. Overall,
the changes to the books and reference manuals made them increasingly dangerous
to the students. In actual
genetic research, it is common knowledge that virtually all point mutations,
and other types of mutations, are neutral or harmful. Yes, there are rare beneficial, or partly
beneficial, point mutations, but these are extremely rare and usually involve a
loss of genetic information. When you start with something that
works, and you randomly modify it, it will get worse, not better. In fact,
the rate of good mutations tells geneticists a lot about how perfect the DNA
is. In all animals and plants,
beneficial mutations are extremely, extremely rare. Thus, the DNA of all animals on earth is
virtually perfect, meaning there are very, very few imperfect nucleotides which
can be fixed by random point mutations. Considering
that all DNA on earth is virtually perfect (because almost all mutations are
neutral or negative), and considering that genetic entropy (i.e. the
deterioration of DNA), combined with this fact, is a proof that all species on
this earth are very new species (to this earth), meaning only a few thousand
years old. To better
understand this concept, consider the theory of evolution. If evolution were true we would have
inherited all the genetic entropy of our ancestor species. Over a period of hundreds of millions of
years genetic damage caused by mutations would have been passed on from one
species to the next, and within the same species, from one generation to the
next. If evolution were true, our DNA
would be incredibly damaged. But that is
not the case. Rather, our nearly perfect
DNA is one of the strongest proofs of the Biblical account of creation. In other
words, if the theory of evolution were true, we would have inherited all the
genetic mutations of our ancestor species - going back 660 million years and our
most distant homo sapiens sapiens ancestors would have lived 100,000 years ago. Were these facts, and considering genetic
entropy; virtually every human on earth would have been born with many, many
millions of genetic defects from our ancestor species and several significant
genetic defects from our homo sapiens sapiens first parents.
But that is not what geneticists have observed. Thus, the
perfection of our DNA and the DNA of all other plants and animals is absolute
proof that the theory of evolution is false.
But pursuing DNA as a proof of evolution (using the perfection of our
DNA as the evidence) requires computer simulations (mainly to teach and prove
concepts) which will actually be discussed later in this book. The "First Living
Cell" Now let us
consider the "first living cell."
Suppose a "first living cell" was created by evolution and
that its DNA was perfect (it would not have been perfect, but we will assume it
was perfect). Do you really think that
tampering with it's DNA will create new and improved
DNA and new and improved species? That is the
point to this discussion. As Bert Lance stated: "If it ain't
broke, don't fix it." But yet
that is the whole basis of the theory of evolution. You start with something that is perfect
(i.e. the "first living cell"), or nearly perfect, then you start to
randomly make changes to it and end up with something better than the original. Does that make any sense? That is absolutely not what is being observed by geneticists. There have
been millions of species on this earth.
Each had perfect DNA or nearly perfect DNA. Yet the claim is that each of these species
was created by randomly mutating the DNA of a prior species with perfect or
nearly perfect DNA. This is nonsense. This is as
absurd as trying to convince the Air Force to improve their textbooks and
reference books by randomly mutating them by people who couldn't build a paper
airplane. Suppose a
book existed with over 250 pages of computer simulations, statistics, etc. on
the subject of evolution. What would you
learn from this book? The main thing you
would realize is that "if it ain't broke,
randomly mutating it will do more harm than good!!" This is exactly what is observed in
nature (i.e.
genetic entropy). Yet the
theory of evolution operates on exactly the opposite premise!! Randomness
never makes something better (unless it is totally wrong to begin with, which
is impossible among living things or the species could not exist). Thus, if it
is alive, it cannot be improved upon by random mutations. Look at it
this way, if a DNA is 99.999% perfect, it is almost certain that all mutations
will be negative or neutral because they will be affecting "right"
nucleotides (i.e. 99.999% of the nucleotides are correct, thus changing them
will not improve them). The entire
premise of the theory of evolution is that random mutations do more good than
harm. That would only be true if our DNA
was extremely defective. But if our DNA
was that defective we couldn't survive. The prime
directive of the theory of evolution is not only mathematical nonsense; but it
totally violates what geneticists have observed numerous times. They have never seen an instance where random
mutations created new genetic information which was useful. All they have seen is a very, very rare
beneficial point mutation and lots and lots of detrimental or neutral point
mutations. But a point
mutation is a change in existing genetic material; it does not represent new
(i.e. additional) genetic information; which would include one or more new gene
complexes. Story #3: Changing
Computer Programs Let us take
the Air Force example one step further.
Now we will not only change the textbooks and reference books these
pilots study, but we will also randomly mutate the computer programs in the
jets they fly. When you
start to randomly change computer programs, by choosing random "bits"
of information in the program, and replacing these "bits" with randomly
generated '0's and '1's, how long do you think the computer program in a jet will
continue to function and the plane will continue to fly? Even highly
trained computer programmers have a difficult time getting complex computer programs
to work. Once they work, randomly
changing them is not going to be a good thing.
It would be like mutating a DNA strand which is 100% perfect. Even though
the DNA of any living thing is far more complex, and far more perfect, than any
computer program on earth, it still would be suicide to randomly change
"bits" in a computer program that controlled jet airplanes. How many of
the first group of pilots would still be alive after 2 days of flying (not 2 years as above), if the computer
programs in their jets were tampered with? Depending
on how many changes are made, and in what sections of the programs they are
made, the chances are that none of the pilots would still be alive after two
days of flying. There are
many sections of DNA where even the slightest mutation can cause severe damage
to the animal or human under consideration.
This is particularly true in the morphing of the embryo algorithms, but
it applies to other areas as well. Even
animals which lay eggs are subject to the morphing of the embryo
algorithms. There is a lot of morphing going
on inside the egg, whether it be a duck egg or an
insect egg. DNA
contains incredibly complex computer programs, especially for the morphing of
the embryo of animals which have live births or lay eggs. If you start randomly changing these computer
programs, built into the DNA, the number of "live births" will
quickly drop to zero. Another
issue with regards to the morphing of the embryo is that if there is a flaw in
the DNA morphing algorithms (in either the male or female germ cells), there
will not be a new species because there will be no live births. The morphing algorithms are a zero defect
computer program, just like the computer program which controls a jet
airplane. You only get one shot at
getting it right or the plane crashes (or the baby of the new species does not
survive, thus the new species will not survive). This is
significant for the theory of evolution.
Evolution is based on random mutations of DNA. If a pair of animals have
their DNA randomly modified so that a new species can exist; but there is a
slight defect in the morphing of the embryo algorithm; even a slight defect in
the morphing of the embryo will likely prevent the new species from ever
existing. There are no second chances. Yet the
morphing of the embryo algorithm is the most complex algorithm in DNA and it is
the most easily damaged by the slightest defect! Story #4 - Writing
Computer Programs Have you
ever tried to get a computer programming job at a large corporation? You had better have credentials because that
is what they look at. Suppose you
believe in evolution. Suppose you know
absolutely nothing about writing computer programs, but you have bought a
computer program which randomly generates (or changes) long strings of '0's and
'1's (by the way, "evolution" knows nothing about designing DNA; the fact
is that all mutations to DNA are totally random). Suppose you
go to the Human Resources department of a large corporation and say this:
"I have never written a computer program in my life, but I did purchase a
random number generator over the Internet and I want the job of a computer
programmer. I will take an existing
computer program which works, but you want to improve, then I will randomly make
changes to the 'bits" in the program and create 1,000,000 new computer
programs, each of which is a randomly mutated copy of the original program. I will then "select" the
"best" of these 1,000,000 new computer programs, and then mutate this
program 1,000,000 times, and so on.
Eventually, you say, I will end up with computer programs which are far
superior to what your computer departments are capable of writing." Do you
think you would get the job? I will save
you the time and embarrassment. You
won't get the job. Computers
now have the speed to generate billions of randomly generated computer programs. They also have the ability to evaluate these
billions of randomly generated computer programs for certain kinds of
effectiveness. Yet, with
all this computing power, no corporation in their right mind would try to write
a computer program by using "evolution," meaning by randomly
generating '0's and '1's or by randomly changing the '0's and '1's in an
existing computer program which works perfectly well. Even using
the step by step process of evolution (whereby each new species is only
slightly better than the previous species) will not help you write new computer
programs. Why won't
this process work to write new computer programs? The reason is
permutations (which will be discussed many times in this book). There are estimated to be 1080
atoms in the known Universe. This
doesn't look like a big number, but it really is a huge number. It is the number: 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 You could
write a unique computer program, one unique program for each atom in the
Universe, using less than 300 'bits'
of '0's and '1's. In other
words, you can uniquely order 300 '0' and '1' bits more times than there are
atoms in the known Universe. Most
computer programs that large corporations write are millions of bits long. Do you realize how many trillions of
centuries it would take to randomly
write a simple computer program (randomly generating '0's and '1's) which was
one million bits long; a program that actually did something useful? Actually, it
would never happen during the time that 10 million consecutive Universes were
created and died - because random numbers don't generate the same kinds of
patterns that intelligently designed programs generate. The point
is that you don't take something that works perfectly well, and then improve on
it by randomly mutating and changing it.
Yet, that is the very mechanism by which the theory of evolution works. Do you
really think that science has "proven" that the theory of evolution is
a "proven" fact of science?
