This week I address a long comment submitted by a viewer in Episode 63: The Lies of Evolution.  “First, why, if species have descended from other species by fine graduations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion, instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?” Charles Darwin, The Origin of the Species,1859“I believe that species come to be tolerably well-defined objects and do not at any one period present an inextricable chaos of and intermediate links.” Charles Darwin, The Origin of the Species,1859“Origin-of-life researchers now know that Miller’s simulation experiment has little, if any, relevance to explaining how amino acids–let alone their precise sequencing, necessary to produce proteins–could have arisen in the actual atmosphere of the early earth.” The Return of the God Hypothesis, Stephen Meyer,2021“Life cannot have had a random beginning…The trouble is that there are about two thousand enzymes, and the chance of obtaining them all in a random trial is only one part in 10^40,000, an outrageously small probability that could not be faced even if the whole universe consisted of organic soup.” Fred Hoyle and N. Chandra Wickramasinghe, Evolution from Space (London: J.M. Dent & Sons,1981)“What happens if you replay the experiment using an accurate atmosphere?”…“I’ll tell you this: you do not get amino acids, that’s for sure,” he replied “Some textbooks fudge by saying, well, even if you use a realistic atmosphere, you still get organic molecules, as if that solves the problem. ”He goes on later to identify the molecules: Formaldehyde and cyanide. “The idea that using a realistic atmosphere gets you the first step in the origin of life is just laughable. ”The Case for a Creator, Lee Strobel, 2004“I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially to the extent to which it has been applied, will be one of the greatest jokes in the history books of the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity it has.” Malcolm Muggeridge, Pascal Lectures, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
