Erich von Daniken referenced this book in 'According to the Evidence'. Exchange the word "God" with "extraterrestrials" and you have conclusive proof that a targeted mutation of our genes DID in fact take place in our past! If you ever wanted to know whether our DNA shows signs of extraterrestrial intervention, this book is it!
This book gives an analysis of evolution from the perspective of biological science. Biogenesis could not have take place by accident or from chaos. Wilder-Smith proposes that the biblical god conducted everything. Exchange Wilder-Smith's concept of the biblical god into extraterrestrials and the information revealed to you in this masterpiece on genetic manipulation is astonishing!
From the Introduction:
The real problem in Neo-Darwinian evolutionary teaching lies in the following theoretical, seldom specifically formulated assumptions:
The origins of the coded programs in the biological cell are attributed to chance and the autoorganization of inorganic material. As shown later in this text, this supposition is categorically untenable according to the tenets of modern information theory.
Leading modern Neo-Darwinians attribute the development of new genetic information to molecular variations which are then "fixed" by "gene mechanisms." From a theoretical point of view the lowering of entropy (or an increase of order) can certainly be brought about in this manner with the help of "machines." But then the Neo-Darwinians state that this decreased entropy represents new genetic information. Thus Eigen, for example, says that the development of genetic, coded information in the biological cell, that is, of new genetic information, represents simple lowering of entropy. With the aid of principles behind information theory, it is shown in the text that a simple decrease in entropy is not equivalent to the arising of programmed new information. This being the case, the Neo-Darwinian hypothesis offers no explanation for the greatest phenomenon of life: the development of the coded genetic information which makes life possible and which, from a purely biological point of view is life. Accordingly, Neo-Darwinian thought stands helplessly before the real problem of biogenesis and biology and can help us no further in the principles behind these matters. Consequently, clinging to Neo-Darwinian principles effectively blocks research in the area of biogenesis and prevents progress. It desperately, and as a matter of principle, retains an erroneous idea of the genesis of information within the genetic code by chance.
Darwinian transformism demands spontaneously increasing genetic information. The information on the chromosomes of the primitive cell must become greater for the primeval cell to become a human one. Just as mere molecular movements are incapable of producing information de novo (they can modify already existing information), neither can they produce new information, as will be shown in the text later. Neo-Darwinian theory does not enlighten us as to how a primeval cell can energetically finance the production of new information, so that it becomes a higher plant or a higher animal cell. Transformism demands a very large increase in information, the principle behind which Neodarwinian thought is incapable of explaining.
From a purely biochemical aspect, the cell consists of many chemical and physiological mechanisms of various types. These mechanisms may be generally defined as teleonomic machines or systems. Of course machines and mechanisms exhibit systems and aims unknown to raw inorganic matter. How can matter organize itself into a machine, if matter itself knows of no system (the very basis of all machines)? It is precisely at this point that Neodarwinism collides head-on with the second law of thermodynamics, which lays down the principle that matter, on its own, does not organize itself to higher order. In a closed system entropy and disorder increase, which is not quite congruent with the statement that raw matter builds machines and mechanisms - it does not - not even if "raw" energy is supplied and the system thus "opened." We have treated this problem in detail in the text. As regards the so-called autoorganization of matter, Neodarwinism is without either a theoretical or an experimental basis.
Let us consider the following proposition: An engineer from the outer galaxies visits the earth with some of his colleagues after all life here has been extinguished by a nuclear war. Under the rubble he finds several cars which still function, finds their owners' manuals (in English), drives them, takes them apart, teaches himself metallurgy and mechanics from them, and finally builds a similar car from scrap metal and plastic leftovers. When other colleagues from the outer galaxies visit him, they ask him about the genesis of the first car. He replies that he is now completely familiar with all the natural laws governing the cars and is convinced that nothing but matter and the natural laws are behind autogenesis. Merely matter and the laws of nature were at work in constructing the car he found in the first place. By this reasoning, the laws of nature alone built the first car from matter.
In reality of course, the cars function within the laws of nature and of matter, just as the biological cell also a machine-functions within the laws of nature and matter. Yet the laws of nature alone built neither the car nor the cell. For these laws are not teleonomic and therefore build no teleonomic machines. Darwinism has completely overlooked this important point that the laws of nature do in fact provide the basis for the functioning of a machine, without at the same time being responsible for its genesis.
Evolution and transformism require the existence today of transitional stages between the species, both as living animals and also within the geological layers as fossils; however, neither are to be found in the present nor in the past. This fact is very comprehensible, for intermediate stages, e.g. stages between whales and land mammals, would have great difficulty in surviving. Physiologically such can hardly be envisioned. In geological formations transitional forms do not exist neither among whales and land mammals, nor even among horses!
As a theoretical concept Neodarwinism proves to be chemically, physiologically, and physically untenable. A false concept will only serve to lead scientific research concepts astray. Since the discovery of the genetic code as the basis of biology, we urgently need a program of abiogenetical research which takes into account the genesis of codes, information, and of programs. However, this need will never be met if chance (noncode) is considered to be the basis of program information and code. Since Darwin, biological research has stood under the ban of the concept of chance and selection as the basic cause behind information, codes, and programs. |
