DARWINISM REFUTED
ideal design for bacteria, as it makes possible the very important process—
from the bacterial point of view—of plasmid transfer (that is, the transfer
of DNA from cell to cell).
Because the theory of evolution is obliged to arrange living things in
a sequence "from primitive to complex," it assumes that prokaryotic cells
are primitive, and that eukaryotic cells evolved from them.
Before moving to the invalidity of this claim, it will be useful to
demonstrate that prokaryotic cells are not at all "primitive." A bacterium
possesses some 2,000 genes; each gene contains about 100 letters (links).
This means that the information in a bacterium's DNA is some 200,000
letters long. According to this calculation, the information in the DNA of
one bacterium is equivalent to 20 novels, each of 10,000 words. 319 Any
change in the information in the DNA code of a bacterium would be so
deleterious as to ruin the bacterium's entire working system. As we have
seen, a fault in a bacterium's genetic code means that the working system
will go wrong—that is, the cell will die.
Alongside this sensitive structure, which defies chance changes, the
fact that no "intermediate form" between bacteria and eukaryotic cells has
been found makes the evolutionist claim unfounded. For example, the
famous Turkish evolutionist Professor Ali Demirsoy confesses the
groundlessness of the scenario that bacterial cells evolved into eukaryotic
cells, and then into complex organisms made up of these cells:
One of the most difficult stages to be explained in evolution is to
scientifically explain how organelles and complex cells developed from these
primitive creatures. No transitional form has been found between these two
forms. One- and multicelled creatures carry all this complex structure, and
no creature or group has yet been found with organelles of a simpler
construction in any way, or which are more primitive. In other words, the
organelles carried forward have developed just as they are. They have no
simple and primitive forms. 320
One wonders, what is it that encourages Professor Ali Demirsoy, a
loyal adherent of the theory of evolution, to make such an open admission?
The answer to this question can be given quite clearly when the great
structural differences between bacteria and plant cells are examined.
These are:
