Mutations always cause a loss of genetic data; to believe
that they produced the extraordinarily complex genetic codes
of the millions of different species is like believing that books
falling randomly onto a computer keyboard have written mil-
lions of encyclopedias. It is unthinkable nonsense. Dr. Merle
d'Aubigne, head of the Orthopedic Department at the
University of Paris, makes this important comment:
Once Upon a Time There Was Darwinism
I cannot be satisfied by the idea that fortuitous mutation . . .
can explain the complex and rational organization of the brain,
but also of lungs, heart, kidneys, and even joints and muscles.
How is it possible to escape the idea of some intelligent and or-
ganizing force? 115
In short, mutations do not explain Darwin's "origin of
species." The Austrian evolutionist biologist Gerhard Müller,
in a book review he wrote for the winter 2006 issue of the
Biological Theory journal, admits the inability of the neo-
Darwinian synthetic theory to account for the origin of mor-
phological novelty.
Neo-Darwinism cannot explain the origin of living crea-
tures in terms of its two mechanisms, natural selection and
mutation. No genetic data can be yielded through natural se-
lection; only the existing data is selected. Nor do mutations
produce new genetic data; they rarely do not affect the exist-
ing data but usually destroy it. Clearly the origins of genetic
data—and therefore, life—have none of these mindless nat-
ural mechanisms.
As Dr. Merle d'Aubigne stated, this origin is an "intelli-
gent and organizing force." This power is Almighty God with
