...sending it back to the "stone ages"?

What has been found has profound implications regarding Darwinian evolution, the theory taught in schools all over the world that all living beings have evolved by natural processes through mutation and natural selection.

Evolution has had its run for almost 150 years in the schools and universities and in the press. But now, with the discovery of what the DNA code is all about, the complexity of the cell, and the fact that information is something vastly different from matter and energy, evolution can no longer dodge the ultimate outcome. The evidence certainly points to a resounding checkmate for evolution! GN

lapgrrl,
Did you know that as scientists began to decode the human DNA molecule, they found something quite unexpected—an exquisite 'language' composed of some 3 billion genetic letters. "One of the most extraordinary discoveries of the twentieth century," says Dr. Stephen Meyer, director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle, Wash., "was that DNA actually stores information—the detailed instructions for assembling proteins—in the form of a four-character digital code"?

11, Yep! That's right! It takes a mighty God to do wonders like this:
The amount of information in human DNA is roughly equivalent to 12 sets of The Encyclopaedia Britannica—an incredible 384 volumes" worth of detailed information that would fill 48 feet of library shelves!
A mighty God we serve!

Vin, OK.
In their actual size—which is only two millionths of a millimeter thick—a teaspoon of DNA, according to molecular biologist Michael Denton, could contain all the information needed to build the proteins for all the species of organisms that have ever lived on the earth, and "there would still be enough room left for all the information in every book ever written" (Evolution: A Theory in Crisis, 1996, p. 334).
How's that?

loath, OK
Who or what could miniaturize such information and place this enormous number of 'letters' in their proper sequence as a genetic instruction manual? Could evolution have gradually come up with a system like this? mmmmm?

soulfulbliss,
Can you imagine something more intricate than the most complex program running on a supercomputer being devised by accident through evolution—no matter how much time, how many mutations and how much natural selection are taken into account? Not unless you're a fool. Right?

woman, Try to get this:
As Lee Strobel explains: "The data at the core of life is not disorganized, it's not simply orderly like salt crystals, but it's complex and specific information that can accomplish a bewildering task—the building of biological machines that far outstrip human technological capabilities"

clus, Sure is!
For instance, the precision of this genetic language is such that the average mistake that is not caught turns out to be one error per 10 billion letters. If a mistake occurs in one of the most significant parts of the code, which is in the genes, it can cause a disease such as sickle-cell anemia. Yet even the best and most intelligent typist in the world couldn't come close to making only one mistake per 10 billion letters—far from it! Unbelievable!!

acid, Look spongebob, Evolution doesn't have a leg to stand on and you know it.
And deep down, you KNOW that the genetic code gradually evolving in Darwinian style would break all the known rules of how matter, energy and the laws of nature work. In fact, there has not been found in nature any example of one information system inside the cell gradually evolving into another functional information program.
He's old history!!

fullofit,
Even one of the discoverers of the genetic code, the agnostic and recently deceased Francis Crick, after decades of work on deciphering it, admitted that "an honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have had to have been satisfied to get it going" source: (Life Itself, 1981, p. 88, emphasis added).
How's that?

kam,
Darwinian evolutionists are stuch between a rock...and ....a bigger rock.

Up to now, Darwinian evolutionists could try to counter their detractors with some possible explanations for the complexity of life. But now they have to face the information dilemma: How can meaningful, precise information be created by accident—by mutation and natural selection? None of these contain the mechanism of intelligence, a requirement for creating complex information such as that found in the genetic code.

The complexity of DNA was not achieved from the random association of loose atoms all in one step. There were many incremental steps, with lots of intermediate replicating molecules along the way. Natural selection at times favored larger, more complex replicators, either because they copied themselves more efficiently, or because they had a better dipolar-electrical grip on surfaces away from solar ultraviolet light. Furthermore, atoms associate with each other according to chemical rules: it's not a completely random process.

I'm sorry but you fail to make any point. Exactly how does the human genome go against evolution. I think it supports evolution. Do you actually understand evolution, and the theories as to how it occurred?

edit: Even with your additional rant, everything you just said totally supports evolution, but since you fail to understand it you will interpret it as magic.. You make it sound like the human genome project was completed yesterday. This is old news.

Why does complexity require design? Consider more than 99% of the species that ever existed failed to make it to our current period in history. Evolution is not an accident. Adaptation to a given environmental niche is no accident.

How, exactly, is the discovery of DNA "toppling" the theory of evolution? That's a baseless statement--and you know it is, which is why you've made no attempts to back it up.

You're only clinging desperately to a dream. Nothing more.

Evolution can not explain the creation of the universe or the creation of the first life form. It is, however a FACT that thing evolve.

Bwahahaha just by calling it "darwinian" you lose.

Modern evolutionary synthesis is the integration of Darwin's ideas with Mendel's theory of genetics, and it works.

You can cite no sources, for you have no basis upon which to make your hollow claims.

Lol, you can certainly do better than this can't you. Evolution is fact, the mechanisms of evolution is what the theories reside on.

Oddly enough, that very code you refer to has been regarded by some "scientists" as "proof" of humanity's extraterrestrial origins, though they offer no evidence as to how they reached that conclusion. So, um, yeah . . . sorry, no checkmate. Argument from ignorance is as invalid today as it was yesterday.
