TONY: This article is especially for DHW. - [i]http://idscience.hubpages.com/hub/Why-Darwinian-Evolution-Is-Impossible[/i]-I'm afraid the technicalities are way beyond me, but if I've understood the general gist, it is not the conventional attack on chance, but a direct assertion that organisms are incapable of undergoing innovations because these would be destabilizing. Since nobody has ever witnessed the innovations that have led to new species, and since life itself is unique and so it is highly doubtful whether we can draw ANY analogies, I'm not sure that anyone is qualified to say what is and isn't possible. We know organisms can adapt, which clearly involves change without destabilisation, but that is all we know. -Towards the end of the article, the author's reference to the designer creating pairs (capable only of minor variations) suggests that he is advocating separate creation of all species (broad sense). Since David believes that evolution did take place, thanks to God preprogramming the first cells in such a way that innovations could happen in existing organisms without destabilisation, perhaps I could call upon him to comment on the scientific details.
