Page 12 - New Research Demolishes Evolution

Briefly, natural selection does not have the capability to add a new organ to a living
          organism, remove one, or change the organism into another species–quite  contrary to the
          image that evolutionists conjure up. The "greatest" evidence put forward since Darwin
          has been able to go no further than the "industrial melanism" of the moths in England.


             Can Natural Selection Explain Complexity?
             There is nothing that natural selection contributes to the theory of evolution, because
          this mechanism can never increase or improve the genetic information of a species.
          Neither can it transform one species into another: a starfish into a fish, a fish into a frog,
          a frog into a crocodile, or a crocodile into a bird. The biggest defender of punctuated equi-
          librium, Gould, refers to this deadlock of natural selection as follows;
             The essence of Darwism lies in a single phrase: natural selection is the creative force
             of evolutionary change. No one denies that natural selection will play a negative role
             in eliminating the unfit. Darwinian theories require that it create the fit as well. 6
             Another of the misleading methods that evolutionists employ on the issue of natural
          selection is their effort to present this mechanism as a conscious designer. However, nat-
          ural selection has no consciousness. It does not possess a will that can decide what is
          good and what is bad for living beings. As a result, natural selection cannot explain bio-
          logical systems and organs that have the feature of "irreducible complexity". These sys-
          tems and organs are composed of the co-operation of a great number of parts and they
          are of no use if even one of these parts is missing or defective. (For example, human eye
          does not function unless it exists with all its details). Therefore, the will that brings all
          these parts together should be able to figure the future in advance and aim directly for
          the benefit that is to be acquired at the last stage. Since natural mechanism has no con-
          sciousness or will, it can do no such thing. This fact which also demolishes the founda-
          tions of the theory of evolution, also worried Darwin: "If it could be demonstrated that
          any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous,
          successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down." 7
             Natural selection only selects out the disfigured, weak, or unfit individuals of a
          species. It cannot produce new species, new genetic information, or new organs. That is,
          it cannot make anything evolve. Darwin accepted this reality by saying: "Natural selec-
                                                              8
          tion can do nothing until favourable variations chance to occur". This is why neo-
          Darwinism has had to elevate mutations next to natural selection as the "cause of benefi-
          cial changes". However as we shall see, mutations can only be "the cause for harmful
          changes".
