Evolution – The Unsubstantiated Theory

The theory of evolution has been constantly referred to in many scientific presentations in the print and electronic media as a scientific fact or a theory supported by significant evidence. I was appalled to see in my son’s university science text, statements to the effect that there is convincing evidence to support the evolution theory. This year is being celebrated as the 150th anniversary of Darwin’s book, Origin of the kredittkort Species and there seems to be an increased perpetuation of the concepts of this theory as truth.The basic theory of evolution is that genes undergo random changes called mutations that produce new and different genes. These new, different genes may produce functional proteins that undergo natural selection to give the organism a distinct survival advantage in its particular environment. The combination of these kredittkort student changes eventually, over time, lead to student the development of new species.Let us examine, mathematically, the time required for the development of a single gene that codes for a functional protein, which is the first step, in order for the evolution process to be considered a viable theory. Let us assume that this gene contains 150 codons each coding for an amino acid thus forming a small protein of 150 amino acids for a bacterial species kredittkort student (bacterial genes usually code for proteins over 330 amino acids). Since each codon on the gene could code for 1 of the 20 different amino acids, the amount of possible proteins that could be formed is 20 150 (1.4 x 10 195).Current scientific findings have shown that 1 in every 10 77 proteins formed from a 150 amino acid protein molecule is functional (Douglas Axe – Cambridge Biochemist).
