Darwin's Finches

In this video, Richard introduces two articles which demonstrate how evolution no longer makes sense in the light of increasing knowledge and understanding.

Darwin's finches from the Galapagos Islands have always been a classic text book example of evolution at work, and yet as more is understood of the complexity of genetics, it has become increasingly apparent that the ability to adapt to the environment is actually built into the genetic code. This bears all the hallmarks of deliberate design, with mechanisms built in to perform such functions. The different beak sizes in finches is very much an example of such adaptation, and as such do not provide conclusive evidence for long age evolution.
Evolutionary theory is based on the idea or random mutations. As more is understood, there is now evidence emerging that living organisms may actually have mechanisms in place to defend against mutations. Considering that the vast majority of mutations are going to be destructive, such a defence mechanism would make a lot of sense as a design feature. This could actually lead to one saying that life was designed NOT to evolve.
