                  Prof. Phillip Johnson explains how, just as in encyclopedias and

             computer programs, there is a very specific order in DNA, and that
             there must be a mechanism that produces genetic information. He also
             describes how random mutations have a negative impact on the infor-
             mation and regularity in DNA:
                  Random mutation is not such a mechanism, nor is natural selection, nor
                  is any physical or chemical law. Laws produce simple repetitive order,
                  and chance produces meaningless disorder. When combined, law and
                  chance work against each other to prevent the emergence of a meaning-
                  ful sequence. In all human experience, only intelligent agency can write
                  an encyclopedia or computer program, or produce complex specified
                  aperiodic information in any form. Therefore, the information necessari-
                  ly present in organisms points to the conclusion that they are products of
                  intelligent design.

                  Mutations do alter already existing structures, but in a completely
             disordered manner. Mutations have no complementary properties and
             have no cumulative effects toward any particular objective. Pierre Paul
             Grassé, former president of the French Academy of Sciences, says this
             about mutations' effects:
                  As soon as some disorder, even slight, appears in an organized being,
                  sickness, then death follow. There is no possible compromise between the
                  phenomenon of life and anarchy. 239
