EVOLUTIONISTS' CONFESSIONS THAT
COMPLEX ORGANS CANNOT APPEAR
BY WAY OF EVOLUTION

H ow could highly complex organs such as the eye, lung and
H

wings have emerged gradually during the evolutionary
process? That is one of the greatest dilemmas facing evolu-
tionists, who leave it unanswered. These interconnected structures, one of

which serves no purpose in the absence of another, cannot emerge in
stages, as evolutionists claim. Organs possessing such a characteristic,
known as irreducible complexity in the scientific literature, will become
functionless if any one of their components is missing.
The eye, for example, consists of some forty different organelles and
will be unable to see if any one of those forty-the retina, for instance-is ab-
sent. That being so, in order for an eye to function, all these forty or-

ganelles must all come into being, together with the other systems that
make sight possible-and that can only happen by way of creation.
Contrary to what evolutionists claim, it is impossible for the eye to
have formed as the result of these organelles all emerging, one by one,
over millions of years. Because in the absence of just one organelle, an eye
that's unable to see will, to use an evolutionist term, become vestigial and
disappear before it even fully forms. This also applies to all other complex
structures. Confronted by this scientific reality, evolutionists try to pre-
vent the issue from being raised or else, as you shall see below, feel forced

into making confessions on the subject.
