| Looking
at the physical evidence, it appears that Darwin was right when he popularized
the idea that species came from other species. Modern evolutionists (Neo-Darwinists)
lack credibility, however, when they assert that life began by spontaneous
generation, and that genetic mutations are the raw material for evolution.
Now there is a new theory that fits the physical evidence much better: The
DeHaan theory of Macro Development which was introduced at the 50th annual
ASA meeting (Robert F. DeHaan, 1995). The theory of Macro-Development states that just as heart and liver in the same organism have a common ancestry by consequence of genetic code, so also do cat and dog have a common ancestry by consequence of genetic code. It helps to imagine the entire biosphere as a super-organism which began as a single seed, planted by God on the earth, and that contained the DNA necessary to produce all life, ancient and modern. What is remarkable about this theory is that it fits the available physical evidence so well, i.e. the fossil record and the current biosphere. Consider for example dogs or pigeons, both of which are polymorphic. Since the time was relatively short for the multiple forms to be produced, as they were bred by humans, the genotypes must have been essentially formed before they were expressed phenotypically. Other examples will be cited. |
