site has a time frame to which construction work adheres, in addition to
the construction blueprint.
This also applies to what nature builds, and of course to cells. However,
we know next to nothing about this before-and-after relationship in the
ordering of the cell. Biologists have still been unable to find who told the
cell what part of the blueprint to build, and when. How it is that some
genes are cut off at just the right moment, how the embargoes on some
genes are lifted, and who instructs the suppressor genes and those that lift
such suppression are all questions shrouded in darkness and waiting to
be answered... 123
When we look back, we see that there is no call for surprise at the total
failure to find those transitional forms, so long almost painfully sought.
Because in all probability, such a stage never took place. Our current
knowledge shows that the general principle of evolution does not apply
here, and that there is no question of the primitive cell gradually turning
into one with a nucleus and organelles. 124
Keith Graham:
We find that the same elements that supposedly created life in the begin-
ning still exist today. Why can't they then produce life again? 125
David E. Green is an American biochemist at University of
Wisconsin, Madison and Robert F. Goldberger is professor emeritus of
biochemistry and molecular biophysics and former provost of
Columbia University:
The popular conception of primitive cells as the starting point for the ori-
gin of the species is really erroneous. There was nothing functionally
primitive about such cells. They contained basically the same biochemical
equipment as do their modern counterparts. 126
W. Ford Doolittle is professor emeritus in Department of
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in Dalhouse University:
Molecular phylogenists will have failed to find the “true tree” not because
their methods are inadequate or because they have chosen the wrong
genes, but because the history of life cannot properly be represented as a
tree. 127
