evolution: finding useful proteins (Introduction)

DAVID: Folded proteins of large size are necessary because they have specific functions in the biochemistry of life and are absolutely vital for life to exist. they are why the Darwin theory does not work:

QUOTE: The new science of DNA proves mathematically that the odds of a random mutation leading to an improvement in the adaptability of a living organism are effectively zero,
QUOTE: In short, the evolutionary biologists can’t explain how animal life made the great leap from protozoans to arthropods in the Cambrian Explosion, let alone how natural selection through random mutation might have shaped the human mind.

DAVID: the bolded paragraph shows why Darwin's materialistic chance mutation type evolution cannot work.

dhw: Yes, from the very beginning of this website, we have rejected Darwin’s theory that random mutations are the driving force of evolution. That is one part of Darwin’s theory. He himself recognized the problem of the Cambrian, and if only he had known about the astonishing complexities of the cell, one can imagine that he might well have embraced the concept of the intelligent cell and “natural genetic engineering”, which offers a credible alternative to randomness and yet still allows for the input of what he calls the “Creator”, who may have designed the intelligent cell in the first place.

DAVID: (under “FINDING TINY PROTEINS”): short modifications of large proteins, by having the small proteins inserted into larger ones is a neatly designed way to alter function on the fly. Further note these are the result of DNA and RNA work considered to come from 'junk' DNA, again reducing the amount of so-called junk DNA. Discoveries like this are pointing to the necessary conclusion that it is all designed.

dhw: Indeed, the case for design is the strongest possible case for the existence of your God, and thank you for this vast accumulation of evidence. If only the very concept of a God without origin who created life was not every bit as complex and mysterious as the origin of life itself, I would come down off my agnostic fence!

Design is the key to the discussion. It requires a designer.
