taught me that scientists, and professors in general, are often confused about
evolution. They may know a lot of details, but they don't understand the ba-
sics. The professors typically think that evolution from molecule to man is a
single process that can be illustrated by dog breeding or finch-beak variations,
that fossil evidence confirms the Darwinian process of step-by-step change,
that monkeys can type Hamlet if they are aided by a mechanism akin to natural
selection… 3
Johnson's words outline the
confused, conflicted spiritual state
in which evolutionists find them-
selves. And in his book, Evolution: A
Theory in Crisis, noted Australian
molecular biologist Michael Denton
draws attention to the same point.
He describes the Darwinists' strange
view that the extremely complex Michael Denton and his book,
structures of living things came to Evolution: A Theory in Crisis.
be through chance occurrences:
To the skeptic, the proposition that the genetic programmes of higher organ-
isms, consisting of something close to a thousand million bits of information,
equivalent to the sequence of letters in a small library of 1,000 volumes, con-
taining in encoded form countless thousands of intricate algorithms control-
ling, specifying, and ordering the growth and development of billions and bil-
lions of cells into the form of a complex organism, were composed by a purely
random process is simply an affront to reason. But to the Darwinist, the idea is
accepted without a ripple of doubt—the paradigm takes precedence! 4
To demonstrate Darwinism's mind-boggling and powerful hold on
people and how dangerous it is for humanity, this chapter examines some
of the Darwinists' preposterous claims that no one of ordinary intelligence
could ever believe. We'll briefly explain how these claims are invalid from a
scientific point of view. (For details on the technical subjects in this chapter,

Down in the Light of Modern Science, Goodword Books, 2003).
