pict it as the greatest evidence for evolution by mutation in school text-
books. Jonathan Wells writes:
According to Peter Raven and George Johnson’s 1999 textbook, Biology, “all
evolution begins with alterations in the genetic message… Genetic change
through mutation and recombination [the re-arrangement of existing
genes] provides the raw materials for evolution.” The same page features
a photo of a four-winged fruit fly, which is described as “a mutant because
of changes in Ultrabithorax, a gene regulating a critical stage of develop-
ment; it possesses two thoracic segments and thus two sets of wings.”
…
Adding to the confusion, textbook accounts typically leave the reader
with the impression that the extra wings represent a gain of structures.
But four-winged fruit flies have actually lost structures which they need
for flying. Their balancers are gone, and instead of being replaced with
something new have been replaced with copies of structures already pre-
sent in another segment. Although pictures of four-winged fruit flies give
the impression that mutations have added something new, the exact op-
posite is closer to the truth. 14
Even if we assume that the “fictitious first cell” that Darwinists
claim represents the beginning of life and that cannot possibly have
come into being by chance did actually emerge spontaneously, even the
smallest stage of the imaginary evolutionary process that would have
to take place to give rise to a human with his complex structure would
require an astounding amount of information to be produced and
countless mutations to take place. “All” of these many mutations have
to be beneficial to the life form or else bring about the appearance of
something “new.” A single error in this fictitious developing life form
will cause the entire system to go wrong and collapse. Ninety-nine per-
cent of mutations are harmful while only one percent are neutral. It
flies in the face of both reason and science, therefore, to suggest that
every single one of these mutations that would have to take place ac-
cording to the theory of evolution can be beneficial.
