Three-Dimensional DNA Code Defies Evolution

by Jeffrey P. Tomkins, Ph.D. *

Scientists have long been baffled as to what actually tells proteins called transcription factors (TFs) where to bind in the genome to turn genes off and on. However, new research incorporating the three-dimensional shape of DNA has revealed an incredibly complex system of interacting biochemical codes.1

We know that genes are turned off and on across the genome by intricate networks of transcription factors which bind to DNA in strategic places in and around the genes. But discovering what tells the transcription factors where to bind has proven extremely difficult.

It’s amazing what God can do when he has billions of years to let his tool of evolution do its work.

I think you misapplied the word “tool” in your unfortunate statement.

Really? That’s what you’re adding to the conversation? I suspect you’ll be successful in derailing what would otherwise be a good discussion on the complexities of creation.

I guess I missed the notification which turned this thread into a closed creationist caucus, with no dissent allowed.

Don’t forgot the war on drugs or ‘free trade’ vs ‘isolationism’.

Such stupendous complexity is beyond impossible, to the level of laughable.

Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Rev 10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
Rev 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

Rev 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

What’s funny is evolution is profoundly unscientific. Try as they might, they’ve never gotten within light years of creating life from lifeless chemicals. Even the most “simple” single-celled organism is just too stupendously complex, so it’s laughable to think that simply throwing some chemicals together could produce it. And since mutation NEVER produces greater complexity, at least in all recorded history, the only means of goo to you through the zoo is eliminated.

The creation of a single usable protein via random processes has been likened to a solar system full of blind men all simultaneously solving the Rubik’s Cube. The creation of the most “simple” single-celled organism via random processes has been likened to a tornado tearing through a junkyard being able to produce a fully functional 747. Such faith!

Also, those Christians who believe in evolution have serious theological problems. God can sentence most of humanity to hell and the lake of fire because He created us and therefore owns us. I can’t figure out where God’s authority comes from to do these things under the evolution theology.

You left out the tag.

And it conveniently dodges the question of abiogenesis, Miller-Urey's failure, etc.

Evolution may exist as a mechanism to keep Life healthy in a changing environment (shifting continents, environmental changes, seasonal changes, etc.) but does nothing to explain how life began.

That's the big question.
