The Evolution Deceit

One of the facts nullifying the theory of evolution is the incredibly complex
structure of life. DNA molecule located in the nucleus of cells of living beings
is an example of this. DNA is a sort of databank formed of the arrangement of
four different molecules in different sequences. This databank contains the
codes of all the physical traits of a living being. When the human DNA is put
into writing, it is calculated that this would result in an encyclopaedia made
up of 900 volumes. Unquestionably, such extraordinary information definitely
refutes the concept of coincidence.

Lamarck’s Impact

So, how could these "favourable variations" occur? Darwin tried to
answer this question from the standpoint of the primitive understanding
of science in his age. According to the French biologist Lamarck, who
lived before Darwin, living creatures passed on the traits they acquired
during their lifetime to the next generation and these traits, accumulating
from one generation to another, caused new species to be formed. For in-
stance, according to Lamarck, giraffes evolved from antelopes; as they

struggled to eat the leaves of high trees, their necks were extended from
generation to generation.
Darwin also gave similar examples, and in his book "The Origin of
Species," for instance, said that some bears going into water to find food
transformed themselves into whales over time. 27
However, the laws of inheritance discovered by Mendel and verified
by the science of genetics that flourished in the 20th century, utterly de-
molished the legend that acquired traits were passed on to subsequent
generations. Thus, natural selection fell out of favour as an evolutionary
mechanism.
