consists of 1.8 billion base pairs (1.80pg.) According to the evolu-
tionary family tree, the DNA of the tench (species Tinca tinca)
should be a great deal longer than this, whereas in fact it is only half
the length of sponge DNA, consisting of a mere 810 million base
pairs (0.81pg.) The chicken, described as a much more advanced
species than the sponge in the evolutionary family tree, also has
DNA that is shorter, at 1.25 billion base pairs (1.25pg.)
As we have seen, the genetic facts are at total variance with the
assumptions of the theory of evolution. As the scientific findings
have shown, living species did not evolve from one another, but
were created separately. (For further details regarding genetic com-
parisons and the theory of evolution, see http://www.harun-

Conclusion

The flawless design in living species invalidates the idea of the
evolutionary process. Evolutionists are unable to account for even
the emergence of a single cell by means of evolution, so it is mean-
ingless for them to try to use evolution to explain the organization
between those cells. Chance and unconscious atoms cannot produce
superior design.
The DNA in cells is a description written in the same language
in all the millions of different living species. The fact that the infor-
mation is written in the same language does not support the claim
that these species came about by chance and evolved from one an-
other. On the contrary, it shows that they were created according to
a common design. This is a scientific expression of the fact that God
created all living things.
