“[T]here might be an argument that gives, for example, the genetic parents a right to kill (or leave to die) their newborn infant even if the infant has a right to life. For example, it might be argued that people have a right to their genetic privacy and having the newborn infant in the world that carries the genetic material of the genetic parents violates their right to genetic privacy. Put another way: the fetus does not have a right to the genetic material of...
Read MoreIntelligent Design is on par with the Darwinian Argument!
“Whenever we see information, especially when we find information in the digital or typographic form, and we trace it back to its ultimate source, we always come to a mind, not a material process. So the discovery that information is running the show in life, the discovery that there are these huge infusions of information in the history of life, such as the one that occurs in the Cambrian Explosion, suggests that a designing intelligence has played a role in the...
Read MoreAre Small Changes…Enough??
Every change in an animal feature has to be a genetic change. Every genetic change is caused by small accidental mutations. Most changes are very slight – if the environment dramatically changes to allow for a mechanism for genetic drift – did newly changed creatures have enough change to survive that much more? Are those small accidental changes in the genetic code enough for the evolution of such an information-rich, sophisticated genetic code? Professional...
Read MoreMutation, Adaptations, and Natural Selection PROVEN TRUE!!…But Evolution…?
Changes have been observed to have occurred in Nebraskan Deer Mice! There was a mutation. Natural Selection did favor a different colored mouse population. But the mutation did not create new genetic information, but a change or loss in pre-existing information as we can see with this quote: “Note the malfunction of the already-existing pigment regulator, in this case involving the deletion of an amino acid.13,14 Evolutionists need to find mutations that...
Read More“Viruses Prove Evolution!” – Are they sure?
Recently, we were contacted asking about how we would respond to this documentary “Amazing Virus Evolution” from the National Geographic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wy6EmhhR7I). Though there are many examples given that appear to support Evolution, we are not at all convinced. Here are some of our notes regarding the video. You may want to save these notes in case someone wants to challenge you with this topic claiming that viruses are evidence of evolution. We...
Read MoreDon’t Humans Share DNA with Apes? Isn’t that Proof of Evolution?
“Claim: Humans share almost 99% of our DNA with Chimpanzees. Reality: This originally came from analyzing only the portion of the genome that is already similar. Looking at the broader genome including Indels, that percentage is closer to 86-89%. If “junk DNA” is considered (which is not junk!), the percentage is even much lower. Genetic researcher, Dr. Jeffrey Tomkins, shows the similarity may be between 71-86%. He states, “While it is true that there are sections...
Read More2 heads are better than 1!…Or are they?
“The ‘extra head’ may look like an ‘extra’ piece of information. But an informed evolutionist would not point to it as an example of how random changes can add new programs (the missing ingredient in evolutionary speculations of how microbes allegedly turned into microbiologists). This is because they know that it is the same information, split into two, and defectively expressed. Looking at such a creature should help us to understand the seriousness of the Genesis...
Read MoreScary Times – Genetic Engineering and Bioethics!
We are in scary times when it comes to what we can do with technology. This article does even refer to bioethics, but I think the scary thing is…from an evolutionary worldview (i.e. Survival of the Fittest) – what is bioethically “right” or “wrong”? From a completely naturalistic/evolutionary worldview…is there any boundary or limit to how we can or cannot affect the genetics of another person! ...
Read MoreData in Your DNA!
Scientists can now build practically any DNA sequence that they want which is allowing us to use it as a storage device. One research team has engineered DNA strands to store the information for an operating system, text, images, and a movie and they were able to successfully retrieve it. This technology could make huge strides in progress – think about it as they put it – “all your data in a drop of DNA.” Let’s not forget, though, that this is clearly the work of a...
