Creation~

Where did we come from? What caused the Earth to start spinning? Are we related to monkeys? Did our existence start from a random occurrence over millions and billions of years ago? Now, I am no expert on any of this. And I'm still learning a lot. But I recently came across some information that I found interesting.

In the article above, it talks about how Darwinism believed "acquired characteristics could be passed along to the next generation." Darwinism believed that this information could be passed along through "pangenes". However, based on the work on genetics of Gregor Mendel, pangenesis was proved impossible. 
   "Problems with mutations contributing to evolution are numerous, extensive and very well documented." In order for an organism to evolve, it needs a surplus of genetic material, according to this article. 
    The article states that "Thus, mutations go the wrong way, because evolution requires limitless genetic expansion.  Instead of an explanation for origin of life, mutations are actually an explanation of the origin of death and disease," and concludes that "Mutations do not create, they corrupt and most of the time lead to death rather than life.  Hence, over longer periods of time, more harmful mutations would occur, and the less likely evolution could explain origin." 
  Read the article if I made this sound too confusing, but I just thought I'd share this. It's something to think about.
