Can Random Mutations REALLY Create Complex Information Packed Into DNA Molecules?
— Guest Editorial by Laszlo Bencze It is clear that living things are filled with information. Multicellular organisms develop through embryonic stages following complex and intricate patterns. They grow and reproduce following other patterns which are instinctual and coded into their genetic structure. Even single celled organisms consist of intricate sub-cellular machines which are all coded in their DNA. The claim of evolution is that all the intricate, complex, and voluminous information contained in life originated and spread through random accidents (mutation) preserved by natural selection. Here are the essentials: 1. Evolution is unguided. No gods or angels help it along. No “life force” is built into nature. There is no ultimate goal towards which all life flows. 2. Random changes occur in the DNA of living things. 3. These random genetic changes sometimes cause meaningful changes in the living things in which they are found. 4. If the changes reduce reproductive success they
