molecular biologist, Michael Denton, describes this interesting
situation:
To the skeptic the proposition that the genetic programs of higher
organisms, consisting of something close to a thousand million bits
of information, equivalent to the sequence of letters in a small
library of one thousand volumes, containing in encoded form
countless thousands of intricate algorithms controlling, specifying,
and ordering the growth and development of billions and billions
of cells into the form of a complex organism, were composed by a
purely random process is simply an affront to reason. But to the
Darwinist, the idea is accepted without a ripple of doubt – the
paradigm takes precedence! 65
One will conclude that there is a great similarity between the
beliefs of Darwinists and those of old pagan cultures. Just as idolaters
believed that lifeless idols created, evolutionists and materialists
believe that lifeless matter, prompted by random occurrences, created
living things, including themselves.
So the religion of Darwinism is founded on an illusion. However,
even its founder, Charles Darwin, was aware that complex living
things could not have come into being by chance. The perfect order in
nature showed him that every existing thing was possessed of a
magnificent design. Darwin acknowledged his doubts in these words:
I cannot anyhow be contented to view this wonderful universe, and
especially the nature of man... I am inclined to look at everything as
resulting from designed laws... All these laws may have been
expressly designed by an omniscient Creator, who foresaw every
future event and consequence. But the more I think, the more
bewildered I become. 66
I am conscious that I am in an utterly hopeless muddle. I cannot
think that the world, as we see it, is the result of chance; and yet I
cannot look at each separate thing as the result of Design. 67
I could give many most striking and curious illustrations in all
[living] classes; so many that I think it cannot be chance. 68
