The optimised nature of the DNA language (code) is another example of something that could not have been generated through a series of small steps.12,13 Imagine a computer program which is to be improved by changes to the language used. Every time the tiniest change is made to the language, many statements throughout the program would have to be changed simultaneously; and, at the same time, the computer’s compiler would have to be reprogrammed so that it recognised the meaning of the new form of instructions. A similar set of changes would be required every time just a small change was made to the DNA language. Following the mapping of the human genome and the ENCODE1 project, the world’s top geneticists began to admit that it might be the end of the 21st century before we fully understand how all the exceedingly complex network of controls in human DNA work—if indeed we ever will.15 Given that we know so little about these high-level functions of DNA, how can evolutionists claim with integrity that science has shown that they evolved? How can they ‘know’ that natural processes are capable of producing something when they don’t even understand how it works? Indeed, the ENCODE project’s results are such a problem for evolution that atheists (secularists) have tried to argue against the findings! One complained about the “public damage” done by the ENCODE publicity. Damage to what? Science? No, secularism (atheism).16 Protagonists of evolution often mislead people into thinking that the burden of proof lies with their opponents—that creationists should be required to demonstrate that evolution cannot be true. This is nonsense. The burden of proof lies with the secularists, as it is they who are claiming that science has shown their view to be the correct one. Evolutionists have never demonstrated that people could have evolved through a series of small steps from a single-celled microbe. Evolutionary biochemist Franklin Harold wrote, “… we must concede that there are presently no detailed Darwinian accounts of the evolution of any biochemical or cellular system, only a variety of wishful speculations.”17 Should ‘wishful speculations’ be taught in science classes?
