way?), then anxiously guard them until enough accumulate for selection
to push the population toward new and useful change? There you have
the mathematical arguments of Neo-Darwinism that Waddington and
others rightly characterized as "vacuous." 76
Pierre-Paul Grassé is a French biologist and former president at the
French Academy of Sciences:
No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any
kind of evolution. 77
The opportune appearance of mutations permitting animals and plants to
meet their needs seems hard to believe. Yet the Darwinian theory is even
more demanding: A single plant, a single animal would require thou-
sands and thousands of … appropriate events. Thus, miracles would be-
come the rule: events with an infinitesimal probability could not fail to oc-
cur... There is no law against daydreaming, but science must not indulge
in it. 78
Francisco J. Ayala is university professor of Biological Sciences,
Ecology & Evolutionary Biology at University of California:
High-energy radiations, such as X-rays, increase the rate of mutation.
Mutations induced by radiation are random, in the sense that they arise
independently of their effects on the fitness of the individuals which car-
ry the m. Randomly induced mutations are usually deleterious. In a pre-
cisely organized and complex system like the genome of an organism,
a random change will most frequently decrease, rather than in-
crease, the orderliness or useful information of the system. 79
