mechanism in itself and then encode the necessary genetic information
in its cells so as to transfer this information to future generations. Such
an assertion is unscientific as well as irrational.
Another story the evolutionists spin goes like this: “In the evolu-
tionary process, every variety of plant obtained data on environmental
conditions and loaded it into its memory. This information was con-
densed and coded in the genetic material. Seeds acquired the ability to
'recognize' that the seasons follow one another, the kind and quality of
the soil, whether running water and competitive species are nearby,
and whether there’s a space enough for them to spread out.” 46
Giving a little thought to the above statements, you can easily see
that these hypotheses are also extremely illogical. A plant has no mem-
ory for it to load environmental data into. How is a plant, not even
aware of the genetic material it possesses, to add new information?
Besides, a plant is not intelligent or even conscious, so how can it “rec-
ognize” its environment? Such assertions are nothing more than fairy
tales concocted by evolutionists reluctant to admit that plants have
been created by God.
There is another way of seeing evolutionists’ claims as untenable.
According to their assertion that plants have acquired their character-
istics as a result of coincidental changes over time, millions of years
must have passed before plants acquired the ability to let their seeds
stay dormant. In the meantime, plants must have endured adverse
conditions for so many long years. But no plant can withstand such
hardship! Once a seed has begun to germinate, it cannot survive if con-
ditions are negative.
Under such circumstances, the first seed to encounter harsh con-
ditions would need an extraordinary coincidence (it would be better to
call it a miracle). To anyone with common sense, it’s obvious that such
could not be possible. Information could not be added to a plant’s ge-
netic code, even if you wait millions or trillions of years. Seeds cannot
acquire dormancy or any other characteristic by coincidence – the only
