Evolution or devolution?

DR Jonnathon Wells lists the problems of current Darwinian thinking .

The Icons

The 10 “icons” discussed by the book are:

  • The Miller-Urey Experiment: A 1953 experiment that supposedly showed how the chemical building blocks of life could have formed spontaneously on the early Earth.
  • Darwin’s Tree of Life: A branching tree diagram used to illustrate the descent with modification of all living things from common ancestors.
  • Homology in Vertebrate Limbs: Similarities in limb bones used as evidence that vertebrates (animals with backbones) are all descended from a common ancestor.
  • Haeckel’s Embryos: Drawings of similarities in early embryos used as evidence that all vertebrates (including humans) evolved from fish-like animals.
  • Archaeopteryx: A fossil bird with teeth in its mouth and claws on its wings, often cited as the missing link between ancient reptiles and modern birds.
  • Peppered Moths: Photos of moths resting on tree trunks that supposedly provide evidence for evolution by natural selection.
  • Darwin’s Finches: Thirteen species of finches on the Galápagos Islands that are used as evidence for the origin of species by natural selection.
  • Four-Winged Fruit Flies: Fruit flies with an extra pair of wings that supposedly provide evidence that DNA mutations provide the raw materials for macroevolution.
  • Fossil Horses: Fossils once used to show that evolution proceeds in a straight line and later used to show that it doesn’t.
  • The Ultimate Icon: Drawings of ape-like creatures gradually evolving into humans, used to show that we are just animals produced by purposeless natural causes.
  • We can add ,1. mutation mathematics, 2. the real truth of supposed junk DNA , 3. archaeology anomalies, 4 .the hox gene is not the lone body builder , 5 .the mystery of the origins of information in the genome. 6 .Lucy has the gait of an ape , no transitions, or  punctuated equilibrium, speculations are  evident . 7 .The mystery of the Cambrian explosion, 8 .  The mind-body consciousness question, the work of Nobel Prize winner Marie Currie.
  • Life comes from life theological texts say , life means , thinking , feeling , willing , intelligence and planning , as Sir Fred Hoyle said , it appears someone has monkeyed with our universe.
