Thoughts
Origin of Species came out in 1859, before Mendel’s foundational genetics work was widely known, and almost 100 years before Crick’s
breakthroughs in DNA and it’s replication. And yet we’re supposed to believe that Darwinian-evolution is the only process that explains the existence of specialized life on Earth, based on the same evidence Darwin had available (because any more recent evidence, like any paleontology, reveals a fossil record widely inconsistent with Darwin’s predictions).
Darwin was ignorant of genes, and so offers no explanation of how new genes enter the gene pool. Almost 200 years later, Science’s best explanation for the origin of incredibly complex novel DNA patters is “mutations,” a random unguided process—equivalent to arguing that computer programs emerge through bit flips from solar rays.
Yes I am an evolution denier; why not.
