Natural Selection

It is the environment that affects the growth and development of plants, animals and people. Just look back at Victorian times. On average we are all a lot taller and fatter, why? Because our diet is better now than it was in Victorian times! Reduce our diet back to that of those days and we will all go back to being like the Victorians!

We have not evolved into a new species, we have simply become bigger, fitter, healthier etc. This is not evolution. An evolutionary change requires new DNA which means new programming instructions for the cells of the body.

Natural Selection requires something new to appear, a third arm, wings etc. It needs to be something gives an advantage to a member of a species. Anything new needs new DNA!

Anything new needs new nervous system links. Anything new also needs to be passed on to future generations so the reproductive system needs pass the changes on.

Natural Selection is presented by Evolutionists as some sort of Intelligent Being. It apparantly knows the difference between a useless appendage and a useful appendage. This intelligence has to know the future yet it is purely random chance!

How did wings develop on what became birds? A fully functioning wing did not appear in one generation of some animal! At the same time the developing appendage needed to be passed on to the next generation so the reproduction system needed to have an identical change occur. Of course the brain was also developing control and monitoring systems so that the new muscles would produce the correct movements once the wing was completed.

Until the wings were fully functioning Natural Selection would tend to remove it. A bird with a damaged wing does not escape from its enemies. I can picture these animals running around dragging non-functioning wings on the ground and trying to survive in a hostile environment.

In reality Natural Selection is to do with the abilities of existing populations of living things to compete against each other and to survive in the existing natural conditions. If a cat-like creature appears on the scene and eats all the young of birds then that bird population would disappear.
If human beings kill all the tigers in the world for their skin then there will be no more tigers. If a virus appears that would wipe out all of mankind, then there will be no more people, and incidently, no more virus.

Natural Selection is simply the process by which a species can get an advantage over another species. Examples are having sharper teeth or be able to run faster.

Natural Selection and Chemical Evolution

Natural Selection could not have functioned before the existence of the first living cell, and it is only able to affect organisms capable of replicting themselves.
DNA allows genetic changes to be passed on to the next generation.
Without DNA there is no self-repliction and without self-replication there is no natural selection. So one cannot use Natural Selection to explain the origin of DNA because it assumes the existence of what you are trying to prove.
