The third sign is “Human evolution speeding up?”
With more people crowding into ever more ecological niches over the past 10,000 years, humans appear to be evolving more rapidly than in the distant past, according to scientists. What’s more, as people adapt to different regions, cultures and diets, they are becoming increasingly different from people elsewhere. For example, Europeans have evolved a tolerance for dairy products into adulthood, whereas people in China and most of Africa have not.
These sorts of cultural differences provide absolutely no support to Darwin’s suggestion that humans evolved from apes.
All the people alive today are descended from the original human population of eight individuals that survived the global Flood, and later from those that migrated across the earth after the confusion of languages at the tower of Babel. That we are all “one blood” is supported by the latest genetic findings, and demonstrated by the fact that individuals from different cultures and different continents can marry and have children. The reason that many people in China and Africa cannot tolerate milk is that their genes controlling lactase production are functioning as originally designed, i.e. to switch off lactose production after weaning. In stark contrast, adult milk-drinkers are “mutants”—see Can’t drink milk? You’re normal! A mutation is a loss of information—just the opposite of what is needed in order to specify new design features in organisms. A random change in a complicated piece of machinery will degrade its performance, not enhance it. (So, in this case, the ability to digest lactose in adulthood is the result of a loss of information, not a gain.) And there are thousands of genetic mutations that have accumulated and cause diseases within humans since the time the original pair were created, perfect, about 6,000 years ago.
Human genetics is a sign of creation, not evolution.

I agree the your Tower of Babel comment.
ReplyDeleteIn today's World. the language problem is still relevant and I believe that the World, now, needs a common, non-national, neutral language!
Why not teach such a language, in all countries, in all schools, worldwide?
The contest between English and Esperanto seems to be a David & Goliath situation. But don't forget who won in the end
If you have time, please see http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_YHALnLV9XU as well as the Esperanto website, http://www.lernu.net
Wow! Does this article section ever take an assumption and run with it! Anyway, I won't say much other than they're again going with an inaccurate view of evolution.
ReplyDeleteEvolution is the process of mutation and natural selection. The addition of information isn't a requirement! Evolution can occur by a mutative loss of DNA.
The statement that "a random change in a complicated piece of machinery will degrade its performance, not enhance it" is wrong... it is right most of the time, but not all the time. It's true that "there are thousands of genetic mutations that have accumulated and cause diseases within humans," but sometimes mutations can be positive! That is why the process takes a very, very long time and sometimes isn't noticeable within the first few generations.
