Does the DNA develop and improve as they say?


                 



                                                 Evolution







             The theory of evolution, based on Darwin, tells us that all living organisms, including humans, improve and develops from generation to generation, through natural selection. The adaptable species develops and improves itself over time to adapt to the environment and to obtain food in the food chain. A long-term development over time, a very long time, the new and improved capabilities emerge, driven by the natural environment of the different species in nature. Furthermore, that all organisms evolve into new species over millions of years, in a development process driven by various species ability to change, i.e. mutations over time. This has led to the theory of evolution. The mantra is "The survival of the fittest." Research in biology makes a question of this theory.


            


                                    Natural development and change




            We can confirm that there is an on-going processe from cradle to grave for all of us. We can call this the natural developement in nature. We evolve and change all life through, including all life in nature, wildlife and plant life. Also the Earths crust is in motion with volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, which forms and developes our landscape. Besides causing weathering and disintegration processes from rain, wind, water and ice (glaciers) etc, renewal and transformation processes occures  in nature. This we read in Psalm 104: You send your Spirit, and the creation of life, you renew the earth's surface. God's creation makes so that it is constantly renewed. We humans renew ourselves constantly. One example of this is the human body's cells renew themselves every 7th year. Another process is our natural development, we grow up from childhood to adulthood and later become old.


      

                  Galapagos- the island that made evolution to accelerate


           Darwinism began with the publication of his book "The Origin of Species" in 1859. Much of the research results from Galapagos Island off South America were used as evidence for his book. In this work Darwin argued a thorough and critical view of evolution that still applies today. His theory contained several elements, which advantageously can be considered separately:




It has taken place and is taking place an evolution, i.e. that species are mutable.


Today's species have evolved from a common ancestor.


This is possible because the species can divide into two.


Evolution happens gradually, not instantly.


The driving force in this evolution is natural selection.


Another important factor is the evolution of sexual selection.




          Darwin was not the only one and not even the first one that has had these thoughts. However, he was the first to put them into context, supporting them with thorough documentation, and realized that they built up a theory to explain the genesis of biodiversity. Darwin didn't talk about evolution but of "descent with modification". The term evolution has come later. Darwin's starting point for making conclusions in his research was based on simple discoveries. Simultaneously he believed that the cells consisted of a few fibers, much like a gel clot. He thought for example that Finches on Galapagos had lost flight ability and had an adapted beak, enabling them to eat nuts. This reflects a trend, a self created mutation driven by the environment in Galapagos over time. The point was that they had adapted to the environment for survival by developing these properties.


            He had the same thoughts about the marine iguana, swimming under the sea to eat algae, and diving to the seabed outside Galappagos and "graze" under water. Recent research shows that the genetic characteristics of these species have not improved compared to similar species. But amoung others Finches which are unable to fly, presumably that is the result of inbreeding, i.e. it has lost some of those genetic characteristics Its ancestors had who managed to fly. The tribal father-birds to the Finches have historically been "stranded" on the island. The inbreeding allows that it partly has lost this ability compared with other Finches from other parts of the world.


              The marine iguana has the same swimming and survival characteristics as some other lizard species elsewhere in the world. There are seven similar lizard species on other islands that are somewhat greener in color. The common denominator is that there has been a change, that they are a species with less functional gene function than tribal fathers of the animal. There are also birds that can fly from the island (for instance the albatross) and these have the same characteristics as their relatives elsewhere in the world.


                


                                  Development or natural adaption?




             It is clear that God created animals with abilities to adapt to the environment in several areas, such as the blind cave fish that has lost sight as a result that they have been locked in dark water caves. It has been researched on this fish species, and they have succeeded in transplanting eye tissue from a similar sighted species, surface fish of the same species of fish (Astyanax mexicanus) where they operated a natural lens in younger fish, and the eye evolved in a direction such that the blind cave fish almost developed a complete eye in a matter of months. They have also been breeding this fish species with other blind cave fish from four different places and a few of the offspring were born with eyesight. This shows that the extreme changes in the environment, enables some fish species to survive, but then loses, for instance, the ability to see, as the blind cave fish have done. Whether this is a result of Inbreeding or fish losing sight due to lack of stimulation for the eyes, or some other circumstances, is not known, but it proves that the species can survive in extreme situations and that the species may lose properties over time. When there is a notable change to a mutation, does the mutation bring a reduction of information in the genetic characteristics, or does it supply new information?


                That is the question that Darwin studied but had no knowledge about the way we have today. Due to this natural adaptation to the environment, as Finches and blind cave fish on Galapagos have been through. Mutation: 1) - Genetic improvement of the germplasm of these species to adapt to the environment, and thus to be able to survive?  Or is it rather: 2) - that these species lose genetic information? Then, is this a result of different changes in the environment of the various animal species? Recent research shows that these species do not develop new information to what the theory of evolution says, but on the contrary, they lose their genetic characteristics and information instead. The information in hereditary genes is reduced over time. Where does the information come from that is hiding in the DNA then? It is an expression of intelligent design, which means that nature is created, and that there is a creator as recorded in Genesis chapter one!


      



                                  Created with adaptation properties





          If you study the species, you see that many animal species have highly sophisticated structure. A Humboldt Octopus with jet-engine-propulsion, which pushes water jets on its sides to achieve higher speed is an example of this. Recent research also shows that the same octopus has the ability to adapt to freezing or hot conditions. The secret is a mechanism that allows that the same DNA code to be translated into two different proteins. This is called RNA editing. To understand what happens, you can use a picture that DNA transmits "baking recipes" to RNA molecules. In hot water the DNA transmits a message to the RNA to "bake normal bread" and in cold water the DNA tranmits a message to the RNA to "bake rye bread." The effect of this adaptation feature, allows the nerve fibers of the Octopus to work just as well in cold as in hot water. Biologically, the RNA is a molecule functioning as the messenger of the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes, as is the cell's protein factories. The order of the building blocks of the DNA molecule determines the order of the building blocks of RNA molecules, which in turn are used as instructions for how amino acids are to be assembled into proteins. In recent years, research has shown that there may be a number of processes in the cells where the order of the building blocks of RNA molecules that were edited, have changed. It can lead to the production of other proteins than one would expect, given the organism's DNA.


             This results in different species having a pretty cool repertoire of tricks and the ability to adapt and acclimatize themselves in relation to different external and internal ennvironments in nature (Garret and Rosenthal). Created with fast, natural adaptation properties, not the development of new improved features driven by nature over milions of years. Another example is the Eagle which has a wing span that the latest aircrafts have started to emulate. The reason is that the soaring Eagle gets greater flow and less turbulence when the outermost part of its' wings are bent upwards,


as known to the Eagles! I wonder how the Eagle found out? Modern aircraft have the tip of the wing bent upward for the same reason. It has been found in research laboratories for the aircraft, the flight becomes more stable with such a wing-span. God is an intelligent designer and it shows up in creation over and over again. Gore-Tex is another example. Leaves on trees in nature are the basis for this technology. The leaves have "Gore-Tex technology" which prevents water drops penetrating them. Many inventions are taken from the "technology" in nature - God's creation.


                      


                                        What about us humans?






            Let us go over to the DNA of man. Is there something in the DNA of humans that support this? Or is it that there is a catalyst in DNA that constantly improves the properties of the human being over time as a result of changes in the environment?  Does it add by itself new enhanced features and information over time, like the theory of evolution says? - An absorption of information within the cell driven by the external environment?


                       Recent research shows that all DNA-celles is very complicated in how it's put together. Each DNA present in different cells in the body, about 200 different cells (stem cells, blood cells and nerve cells, etc.), has over 3 Billion functions!


           DNA is the body's information storage system, which has all the information needed by the body for all the functions and processes of liberation of energy, survival, degradation and construction and development throughout life. Two millimeters of DNA cells, i.e. the tip of a pencil, which is quite small, contains enough information to accommodate a giant library. If you gathered this information in books, stacked them one on top of the other they would reach from here to the sun, or 500 times from here to the moon! On a hard drive, -100 millions of times more than a 40GB hard drive! All the world's computers are just peanuts compared to the structure and functionality of the DNA in our cells!


                 All this information and complexity that exists in the cells, make many scientists  today sway in the direction of intelligent design. This is because all information must logically have a transmitter, a sensor. A computer must have someone to add programs to function; a book must have an author, etc.


               Another expression of design is our body, consisting of 100 trillion cells. The cells work in perfect harmony with each other, i.e. a uniform distribution of nutrients to each cell. Without some cells "fighting" against one another. A clear expression of intelligent design.

          

                             

                           

                                                                                                  


                                 Developments in genetic cells - DNA


           


                


                  Is there anything in the cells indicating that DNA improves from generation to generation as the theory of evolution says? Quite the opposite. Recent research shows that our DNA de-generates, i.e. lose properties, or weaken over time. This, at a worrying pace (Dr.John Sanford: Genomic entrophy and the mystery of the genome). Hebr.1 :10-11 And again: Thou, Lord, in the beginning founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain. They will all wear out like a garment.




    Aging from a biblical perspective




            Before the fall of man, mankind walked with God and did not die.  After the fall of man, mankind had to die, and Man was expelled from the Garden of Eden. An investigation of the age of Adam and further from the beginning of the Bible onward, one finds a gradual downward aging curve up to the time of Jesus. Age was much higher in the first humans. Adam, for example, lived for over 900 years, according to the Bible. It may seem as if people lived much longer before the Flood came, than afterwards. Just before the flood, God established human age of 120 years. If one studies this with scientific data, one can find a correlation between age and the number of mutations that have occurred in our DNA from the first man to the present day. Perhaps the high age of the Old Testament have a connection with this process? Mutations weakens us over time, which also have an impact on the aging process.


           Mutations are errors, copies of cells. - Like a bad copy of a copy sheet, it does not function to use to copy multiple copies. None of these mutations gives new knowledge that can be transferred to the next generation, but it seems rather allieniated from generation to generation. The mutations allows new diseases and weaknesses emerge as Molecular fault occurs, resulting in defective genes. It is approx. 3 mutations per cell division in our body. In a survey by researcher Michael Lynch it was discovered that: Mutation increase after birth onwards are: 1) Normal cells on a 15 year old, Up to 6,000 mutations, 2) skin cells on a 60 year old, Up to 40,000 mutations, 3) mutations are the main cause of aging and death. - Low potential for increasing human longevity!


           


                                                God's creation




             From a demographic point of view is it that we inherit thousands of mutations from our ancestors. One major mutation may give rise to genetically transmitted diseases. From generation to generation transfers approximately. 60-175 new genetic


mutations per person. This means that human DNA gradually deteriorates over time. It does not go up as evolution claims, but it goes down. It has been calculated that, on the basis of how many mutations that occur per year, that humanity is about 220 generations old. It is also estimated that it will take about 268 generations to come before the mutations are so many that humanity is not able to survive any longer. This is because all the mutations in the cells increase from generation to generation. Eventually becoming so many mutations that it is not possible to survive. The cells collapse due to too many mutations in the cells.


          The uniqueness of the cell is that during its life span tens of thousands of bad mutations occur, it's only a small portion that is transmitted on. Between 60-175 mutations are transmitted from generation to generation.


          We carry all the thousands of bad mutations. This mutation change causes many diseases to evolve, and new diseases arise. This is a result of the mutation process, which must have begun after the fall. We de-generate between 1 and 5 percent per generation. And it's impossible to stop this development. It goes over all the earth. All  have this process in us. The future does not look bright for us humans.

       If you look at these modern studies it shows us an expression that we humans are designed and that we are not a chance in an infinite cosmos, a spontaneous creation that both evolution and big-bang theory claims. There is nothing in nature that testifies about this spontaneous development! There is rather an enormous complicated process everywhere in nature from A to Z. - intelligent design, meaning there is a creator. Therefore I encourage you - seek God The creator instead. Do not seek the clock but The one who created It. We rely on our Savior Jesus Christ, Savior of the world! John chapter 3 verses 16: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God loves you and God has a deeper meaning to life - a plan and purpose for you, plans to prosper you and give you a future. (Jeremiah 29:11) If you seek him with your heart, you will find Him.
