What if Genes Change by Accident?
  • “Mutations are almost universally harmful. In human beings, they are classified as ‘birth defects’. They result in death and sterility. People today suffer from more than 4,000 disorders caused by gene mutations. Down’s syndrome, cystic fibroses and sickle cell anemia are familiar examples.”

How About The Fossil Record?

  • The entire period lasted 5 – 10 million years.
  • Every major body plan suddenly appears.
  • These same body plans (designs) still exist today.
