present forms right from the start, undergoing no evolution, and that no
intermediate form has been found between molecules, in the same way as
with fossils.
Concerning these findings in the field of molecular biology, Dr.
Michael Denton comments:
Each class at a molecular level is unique, isolated and unlinked by
intermediates. Thus, molecules, like fossils, have failed to provide the elusive
intermediates so long sought by evolutionary biology… At a molecular
level, no organism is "ancestral" or "primitive" or "advanced" compared
with its relatives… There is little doubt that if this molecular evidence had
been available a century ago… the idea of organic evolution might never
have been accepted. 293

The "Tree of Life" is Collapsing

In the 1990s, research into the genetic codes of living things worsened
the quandary faced by the theory of evolution in this regard. In these
experiments, instead of the earlier comparisons that were limited to
protein sequences, "ribosomal RNA" (rRNA) sequences were compared.
From these findings, evolutionist scientists sought to establish an
"evolutionary tree." However, they were disappointed by the results.
According to a 1999 article by French biologists Hervé Philippe and
Patrick Forterre, "with more and more sequences available, it turned out
that most protein phylogenies contradict each other as well as the rRNA
tree." 294
Besides rRNA comparisons, the DNA codes in the genes of living
things were also compared, but the results have been the opposite of the
"tree of life" presupposed by the theory of evolution. Molecular biologists
James A. Lake, Ravi Jain and Maria C. Rivera elaborated on this in an
article in 1999:

…[S]cientists started analyzing a variety of genes from different organisms
and found that their relationship to each other contradicted the evolutionary
tree of life derived from rRNA analysis alone. 295
Neither the comparisons that have been made of proteins, nor those
of rRNAs or of genes, confirm the premises of the theory of evolution. Carl
Woese, a highly reputed biologist from the University of Illinois, admits
