Living things are designed to diversify
Did you know that animals have genetic switches? These are regulatory regions of
DNA that control the genes. Scientists have noticed that dramatic things can
happen when a genetic switch is mutated. For instance, a mutated genetic switch
can dramatically alter the appearance of stickleback fish, or generate a great
variety of coat colours in animals.
Veterinary researcher Dr Jean Lightner has suggested that God may have created
genetic switches to facilitate variation, the switches having been created with
a propensity to mutate without negatively affecting other traits. Modifications
to genetic switches are not examples of ‘evolution in action’, even though they
often are spoken of in that manner. Indeed, these changes don’t involve new
information—new genes—arising, and evolutionists cannot explain the existence of
the genetic switches in the first place!
The more we learn about the complexity of genomes, the more they point to a
super-intelligent master programmer.
