Darwinism is based on the idea that all the mutations which have been
selected during the course of evolution were, when they initially
occurred, entirely random. Mutations are random. . . This is the essen-
tial bedrock of Darwinism. The mutational input into living things is, as
it were, at random.
Darwinism is claiming that all the adaptive structures in nature, all the
organisms which have existed throughout history, were generated by
the accumulation of entirely undirected mutations. That is an entirely
unsubstantiated belief for which there is not the slightest evidence
whatsoever.
The second problem is that there are a vast number of complex systems
in nature, and no matter how unglamorous this problem is, no matter
how people try to look the other way, the fact is that a huge number of
highly complex systems in nature cannot be plausibly accounted for in
terms of a gradual build-up of small random mutations.
