8. They think that human beings and other
living things have vestigial organs that have lost their
function; and even believe that a great deal of DNA is "junk"
with no particular function. But all these claims are known to be

the result of scientific ignorance. Over time, as science advanced, it
was discovered that all organs and genes are indeed functional.
This shows that living creatures do not have organs that have
ceased to function, through the so-called process of evolution, as a
result of not being used. Rather, it shows that these creatures, with
all their organs and component parts, are not the work of chance
but of a perfect creation.
9. They think that the variation in a single species—for exam-
ple, the differences in the size and shape of the bills of the

Galapagos Islands' finches—is a strong proof of evolution. But this
is known to be no proof of evolution: Micro-changes in the struc-
ture of a bird's bill cannot create new biological data, in the form of
new organs, and so do not constitute evolution. As a result, even
neo-Darwinists today realize that some variations within a species
cannot result in evolution.
10. They believe that mutations in experiments with fruit flies
have been able to produce new species. But these experiments pro-
duced only physically impaired or sterile individuals, and no "ben-
eficial" mutation was observed. Even in the case of mutations
produced under the control of knowledgeable scientists, no new

species were formed; this proves that there is no such thing as
evolution. Therefore, it is impossible to point to mutations
as proof of evolution.
A large number of those interviewed, if
asked why they believe in evolution,
