The question used to be Cheap Paris Saint-Germain Jerseys , "Can evolution be proven?" Today, a more appropriate question is, "Is evolution science?"
(The following is a condensed version of the chapter entitled "Genetics" of the book "Evolution: A Science Breakdown," available free at .)
To most people, science is seen as "today," modern, up-to- date, and perhaps even the promise of futuristic wonders. A generation which possesses supersonic jets Angel Di Maria Saint-Germain Jersey , Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM's), space shuttles and sophisticated computers can hardly be called primitive. Or can it?
In the midst of all of this state-of-the-art technology, there seems to be a rather primitive theory which, although steadily losing credibility even among those who have adhered to it for a long time, still has many convinced that it is based on science. This theory has proven one thing beyond a shadow of a doubt: although modern technology is nearing Star Wars sophistication, modern man is still capable of some embarrassingly primitive thinking. I'm talking about the "scientific" theory of evolution. If this theory is not honest misinterpretation, it may very well be the most sophisticated hoax ever perpetrated on the human race.
The scientific concept of the origin of life on earth begins with the premise that life first appeared billions of years ago with the formation of microscopic organisms out of inanimate matter. In the billions of years which followed, small organisms evolved into higher and more complex forms of life Leandro Paredes Saint-Germain Jersey , and one species evolved into another.
The question here is not whether this actually happened. To any human being living in the 1990's, the question should be, is such a scenario even possible? Well, according to what we know today about genetics, the answer is an unequivocal no.
Probably the strongest thing going for evolution at the time of its inception, over a hundred years ago, was that virtually nothing was known about genetics in that era. I am convinced that if the public had had a decent understanding of genetics, and random mutation in particular Kylian Mbappe Saint-Germain Jersey , before being presented with the theory of evolution, the theory could never have been taken seriously and certainly could never have been accepted as legitimate science.
According to evolutionists, random mutation is purportedly what brought life from the one celled stage to its present complexity. That is, through a series of beneficial accidents of random mutations, they claim, simple organisms evolved over billions of years into new and more complex species.
Keep in mind that for one species to have evolved into another, massive random genetic changes would have to have occurred throughout earth's history. But here's how genetics--the most crucial aspect of evolution--does not only not support the theory but actually contradicts it:
Modern man has been acquainted with and acutely affected by random mutations more than any prehistoric creature. Sources of random mutations have been around us for years. What are they? Carcinogenic chemicals. Cosmic rays. Sources of radioactivity such as nuclear weapons, nuclear reactors Marco Verratti Saint-Germain Jersey , nuclear waste, and medical X-rays. And some of these sources of random mutations have been affecting modern man way before he even knew how they wreaked their havoc.
Let's take radiation, for example. Here's an idea of what it does: Exposure of high doses of radiation to limited parts of the body can cause severe tissue damage and eventual necrosis.
Exposure of the entire body to a few hundred "rem" (rem is a unit used for measuring radiation effectiveness) can initially cause nausea. Then, in about a month, the person might begin suffering hemorrhages, anemia, tiredness, weakness Marquinhos Saint-Germain Jersey , and an increased risk of infection. Although some may survive, others will die as a result of these maladies.
At about 1,000 rem, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may develop within hours of exposure. As these symptoms become worse, they are followed by fever, loss of fluids Thilo Kehrer Saint-Germain Jersey , severe infections, and finally death.
At about 10,000 rem, the dose to which a worker might be exposed during a nuclear reactor accident, vomiting and diarrhea would occur within an hour, followed by reduced blood pressure, convulsions, and unconsciousness. Death would come within one to three days.
Radiation can also have long-term genetic effects. Studies show that radiation can cause not just one Presnel Kimpembe Saint-Germain Jersey , but a variety of different types of mutations. One of the effects of these aberrations is cancer. The cancer can show up years or even decades after the organism's exposure to radiation. If the organism does not show any signs of cancer, there is still the possibility that cancer may show up in future generations.
Some other disorders or genetic diseases which may show up in later generations as a result of random mutations are: hemophilia, congenital cataract, spontaneous abortions, cystic fibrosis, color-blindness, and muscular dystrophy.
Still other diseases such as diabetes, heart disorders Neymar Saint-Germain Jersey , asthma, and schizophrenia could manifest themselves in later generations as a result of random mutations combined with environmental factors.
This was just a quick glimpse of the severe effects of random changes on biological life. And it seems that the results are almost always the same: deterioration, destruction, and, in many cases, death.
