DARWINISM REFUTED


             structure to other creatures. Like other creatures, human beings develop
             by consuming carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins, oxygen circulates
             through the blood in their bodies, and energy is produced every second in
             each of their cells by the use of this oxygen.
                  For this reason, the fact that living things possess genetic similarities
             is no proof of the evolutionist claim that they evolved from a common
             ancestor. If evolutionists want to prove their theory of evolution from a
             common ancestor, then they have to show that creatures alleged to be each
             other's common ancestors have a direct line of descent in their molecular
             structures; in fact, however, as we shall shortly be examining, there have
             been no concrete discoveries showing any such thing.
                  Let us first of all take the matter of "the similarity between human
             and chimpanzee DNA." The latest studies on this issue have revealed that
             evolutionist propaganda about a "98 %" or "99 %" similarity between man
             and chimp is totally erroneous.
                  If a slightly wider study is made of this subject, it can be seen that the
             DNA of much more surprising creatures resembles that of man. One of
             these similarities is between man and worms of the nematode phylum. For
             example, genetic analyses published in New Scientist have revealed that
             "nearly 75% of human genes have some counterpart in nematodes—
             millimeter-long soil-dwelling worms." 285   This definitely does not mean
             that there is only a 25% difference between man and these worms!
             According to the family tree made by evolutionists, the Chordata phylum,
             in which man is included, and the Nematoda phylum were different to
             each other even 530 million years ago.
                  This situation clearly reveals that the similarity between the DNA
             strands of these two different categories of life is no evidence for the claim
             that these creatures evolved from a common ancestor.
                  In fact, when the results of DNA analyses from different species and
             classes are compared, it is seen that the sequences clearly do not agree
             with any evolutionist family tree. According to the evolutionist thesis,
             living things must have undergone a progressive increase in complexity,
             and, parallel to this, it is to be expected that the number of genes, which
             make up their genetic data, should also gradually increase. But the data
             obtained show that this thesis is the work of fantasy.
