Darwin stated, "If it could be proved that any part of the structure of any one species had been formed for the exclusive good of another species, it would annihilate my theory, for such could not have been produced through natural selection." |

evolution. C.S. Lewis also pointed out that even our ability to reason would be called into question if atheistic evolution were true. He stated, "If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our thought processes are mere accidents the accidental byproduct of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's.

All of our real-world experience, especially in the "information age," would indicate that to rely on accidental copying mistakes to generate real information is the stuff of wishful thinking by "true believers," not science. The noted philosopher of science, the late Sir Karl Popper, commented: "What makes the origin of life and of the genetic code a disturbing riddle is this: the genetic code is without any biological function unless it is translated; that is, unless it leads to the synthesis of the proteins whose structure is laid down by the code. But the machinery by which the cell (at least the non-primitive cell, which is the only one we know) translates |
