     THE SCIENTIFIC CASE FOR CREATION: 116 CATEGORIES OF EVIDENCE

I.  (Life Sciences): THE THEORY OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION IS INVALID.

    A.  EVOLUTION HAS NEVER BEEN OBSERVED. (See 1-13.)

    B.  ALL  ARGUMENTS  FOR  EVOLUTION  ARE  OUTDATED,  ILLOGICAL,  OR
        WISHFUL THINKING.  (See 14-24.)

    C.  NEW RESEARCH SHOWS THAT  THE  REQUIREMENTS  FOR  LIFE  ARE  SO
        COMPLEX  THAT CHANCE AND EVEN BILLIONS OF YEARS CANNOT EXPLAIN
        IT.

       31.  DNA can only be produced with the help of certain enzymes.
            But these enzymes can only be produced at the direction of
            DNA [a]. Since each requires  the  other,  a  satisfactory
            explanation  for  the  origin of one must also explain the
            origin of the other [b,c].  Likewise,  some  proteins  are
            required  to produce other proteins. Apparently the entire
            manufacturing system came into  existence  simultaneously.
            This implies Creation.

                Origin   of   Life,''  SCIENTIFIC  AMERICAN,  Vol.239,
                September 1978, p. 73.

                DARWIN WENT WRONG (New Haven, Connecticut: Ticknor and
                Fields, 1982), p. 66.
            c)  ''The origin of the genetic code  presents  formidable
                unsolved  problems.   The  coded  information  in  the
                nucleotide  sequence  is   meaningless   without   the
                transition  machinery,  but the specification for this
                machinery is itself coded in the DNA. Thus without the
                machinery  the information is meaningless, but without
                the  coded  information  the   machinery   cannot   be
                produced! This presents a paradox of the ''chicken and
                egg'' variety, and attempts to solve it  have  so  far
                been   sterile.''   [John   C.  Walton,  (Lecturer  in
                Chemistry, University of St.  Andrews Fife, Scotland),

                4, No. 1, pp. 30-31.]
