The Dogma of EvolutionismNothing in biologymakes sense exceptin the light ofevolution.

Each cell is surrounded by a bi-lipid plasma membrane. Criticalcellular proteins are found withinand without this membrane, aswell as being embedded in mosaicpatterns inside the two layers.

This plasma membrane is so

complex that researchersrefer to it as

being alive.

We have been designed with1000 sodium pumps per squaremicron of plasma membranesurface.

The total number of sodiumpumps for a small neuron is 1million.

An evolutionary conundrum

Does neo-Darwinism (the synthetic theory)describe, in any shape, form or manner, how

one of these pumps could evolve through

chance, time, and natural processes?

It is absolutely amazing the

complexity of the problem and the

simplicity with which the body

does it every day. Ajay RoyyuruIBM researcher

Incorrectly folded proteins

. . . result in some of the mostdistressing human diseases and errorsin this process generate misfolded

structures that can be lethal.

The Creator designed man with100 billion neurons (brain cells).

Each is connected to at least10,000 other neurons givingwell over 500 trillion

connections in thebrain.


15/46

The brain is a swarm of cells in which

everything is seemingly connected toeverything else. The connections

though, follow a plan, an order

The average number

of glial cells (e.g. 2types of astrocytes)

in the brain is 10 to50 times the number

of neurons.


17/46

The total number of neurons is 20billion - with the total number ofsynapses (connections) at 240 trillion.

The c.c. is only 1.5 4.5 mm thick. The total number of sodium pumps fora small neuron is 1 million.

While recognizing that much isunknown or only imperfectly known,I have been able to unfold thefascinating story of hominid evolutionof the human brain using creativeimagination restrained by rationalcriticism. (emphasis speakers)

To simulate 10 milliseconds of thecomplete processing of even a single nervecell from the retina would require thesolution of about 500 simultaneous

nonlinear differentialequations 100 timesand would take at leastseveral minutes ofprocessing time on aCray supercomputer.

We are beginning to know something about thescientific mechanism involved in signal processingof 3-D color vision in real time . . .

But evolutionists are nocloser to a scientificexplanation of how theeye evolved thanDarwin had in the1860s

Our LungsLungs look like a pair of pink sponges.They contain about 600 million tiny air sacscalled alveoli and have 750 wovenmiles of blood

vessels. If flattenedout, the lungswould cover about1,000 square feet.

BONEYour bone is stronger thangranite. A block of bone halfthe size of a computer mousecan support 10 tons four times thecapacity of concrete! In the adult, themarrow of flat bones makes 2.5million RBCs/second.

Breaking news!August, 2007: Scientists at Columbia U MC havediscovered that the skeleton is also an

endocrine organ controlling sugar metabolism& weight. The hormone osteocalcin made byosteoblasts is a crucial hormone designed tointeract with beta cells of the pancreas.

Have a heart. . .It beats at least 2.8 billion times during theaverage life span resting between beats.During this time it pumps600,000 tons of blood through60,000 miles of blood vessels.If skeletal (voluntary) muscletried to do what the heart doesday out & day in it would beuseless within minutes.

Immune system origin?

There is still much debate on how thevertebrate immune system evolved andeven less consensus on its relationship todefense systems in invertebrates.

Human Evolution?This story starts with a bang, if for no better

reason than there are no fossils thatdocument humankinds initial and presumablypainful descent from the trees.

Therefore, it is believed that the lastcommon ancestor between the African apesand hominids lived during the Plioceneepoch. Unfortunately, this commonancestor has not yet been found.

Breaking News!August, 2007: Moreproblems with the human

evolution story. Once again the chart showingthe progression of apelike creature-to-humanmust be trashed & redrawn! Darwinists arenow saying Homo habilis & H. erectus lived atthe same time, after stating for decades habilisevolved into erectus.
