The Impossible Gene

13 January 2006

     The 13 January 06 daily feature for the young earth creation science ministry Creation Moments discusses what they call the impossible gene, a gene which makes it possible for a male fruit fly offspring from two different species to live, in a weakened state.

     Why this is "impossible" is unknown.  Many things in science seem impossible.  That's not because it is impossible...its because we have not discovered enough about the process to understand it.  Naturally, anything that evolution cannot offer an explanation for will draw the attention of young earth creationists.  However, such things do not offer proof against evolution...it is merely unexplained.

     One of the common young earth misconceptions that comes up in this article is the claim that all mutations are harmful.  This simply is not true.  Most mutations are neutral.  To clarify this bad interpretation of science, read this rebuttal on the Talk Origins website.

        As Christians we should thank God for the way he designed organisms.  However, a proper understanding of evolutionary theory, and its limitations, should be sought by all Christians, whether or not you are a theistic evolutionist.
