Interfaces Between Organsims

[Posted on: 18 December 2024 by Richard Worsley]

Interfaces between separate organisms require design

This video and the associated article talk about working interfaces between different organisms (known in biology as symbiosis). Richard mentions fungus on tree roots as one example, though there are many other cases in the living world. The key point that is being made, is that for two different living things to interact physically in a beneficial way, the interface on each one must be fully compatible with the other, which has surely got to be due to intelligent design. He compares it to a spacecraft docking with a space station, something that requires complex and precise engineering design.

Adaptation – a Product of Design

[Posted on: 13 December 2024 by Richard Worsley]

Adaptation – a Product of Design

In this video, Richard introduces a set of three articles by Robert Carter which discuss the way in which living organisms were designed to be able to adapt to their environment. Whilst Darwin was right in observing that the adaptation of species is a reality, the mechanism of genetics was not understood during his time. We now understand that DNA and the genetic code are incredibly complex, and that the ability to adapt can be programmed into that code. This amazing feat of engineering has got to be the work of intelligent design rather than a random process of evolution.

Genetic Entropy

[Posted on: 11 December 2024 by Richard Worsley]

Genetic Entropy – Mendel’s Accountant

The term ‘genetic entropy’ refers to the way that mutations cause degeneration rather than enhancement of the genetic code. In this video, Richard discusses the implications of major work in this field carried out by John Sandford and his associates, with the development of “Mendel’s Accountant”, an analytical computer program. We know that designed/manufactured things decay over a period of time, and the genetic code is no exception, as mistakes due to mutations are introduced in every generation. As such, the genetic code would simply not survive the evolutionary timescale and yet we continue to be indoctrinated with evolutionary thinking.

Young DNA

Young DNA

In this video, Richard introduces an article about genetics and DNA. What is coming to light is the fact that many of the scientific discoveries being made in this area, actually fit far better into the model of a 6000 year old world history rather than that of a long age.

Junk DNA

[Posted on: 25 November 2024 by Richard Worsley]

Junk DNA

Before the human DNA code started to be mapped out in detail in the early 2000s, it was generally believed that a substantial part of our genetic code constituted ‘junk DNA’, which fitted the evolutionary model well, as it could be looked upon as an evolutionary leftover. This ties into the fact that only a relatively small part of the genetic code is concerned with protein manufacture, which was originally seen as the primary function of DNA. Research over the last 20+ years has revealed however, that DNA does a lot more than just manufacturing proteins, and that its function is a great deal more complex than was originally believed, thus adding great weight to the argument in favour of intelligent design, as opposed to everything happening by chance.

Review of Darwin Devolves

[Posted on: 21 November 2024 by Richard Worsley]

Review of Behe’s book Darwin Devolves

In this video, Richard introduces us to a review of the book “Darvin Devolves” by Prof. Michael Behe. Like his earlier book “Darwin’s Black Box”, this takes up the theme that biological systems are incredibly complex, and that such complexity could not have possibly been generated by random mutations alone.

Directional Mutations

[Posted on: 11 November 2024 by Richard Worsley]

Directional mutations

In this video and article, we are introduced to the concept of directional mutations. According to evolutionary thinking, mutations are random, with favourable ones being chosen by a process of natural selection. There is however increasing evidence that mutations are not all random, and that the cell in all its complexity is programmed to be able to generate non-random (i.e. directional) mututions in order to adapt to environmental demands. This is much more in line with the idea of intelligent design.

Non-random Mutations

Non-random mutations

In this video, Richard introduces an article promoting the idea that the ability to produce variation to enable adaptation to the environment, is already built into the complexity of DNA design.

From Darwin to Design

[Posted on: 28 October 2024 by Richard Worsley]

Heretic – A scientist’s journey from Darwin to Design

In this video and article, we are introduced to the book ‘Heretic’ by Matti Leisola and Jonathan Witt, which tells Leisola’s story as a scientist, in which he was totally converted from belief in Darwinian evolution to belief in intelligent design. It is recommended as being very readable, and largely non-technical.

Y Chromosome Refutes Evolution

[Posted on: 24 October 2024 by Richard Worsley]

New DNA Sequences of the Y Chromosome refute Human-Ape Evolution

In this video, Richard introduces new findings regarding the Y chromosome. In mammals, the Y chromosome is the part of the DNA that is passed exclusively down the male line, and it contains less variation than other parts of the DNA code. Given this fact, it would expected from evolution that the Y chromosome in humans would bear a lot of resemblance to that of the great apes. In actual fact, the very opposite has been found to be the case, thus supporting the idea of separately created species.
