Evolution should not be defined as “transformism” or other vague concepts which would introduce innumerable interventions by God. One can only wonder why God would override His own institution of Secondary Causes, especially within complex relationships of interdependent life forms. (Of course God is ever-active in keeping all life forms alive at the level of elementary particles but that is an entirely different matter from the innumerable interventions required for the countless supposed transitions involved in Theistic Evolution.)

The crucial aspect is whether or not truly new genetic information can be gained in the process of change. As Prof. Maciej Giertych pointed out in the foreword to Creation Rediscovered,

“Evolution means construction of new genes. It means increase in the amount of genetic information, and not a reduction of it”.

This point about increase in information is of such crucial importance to the modern understanding of “evolution” that it cannot be emphasised enough, and it gets mentioned from time to time in creationist journals. For example, on page 29 of the Answers In Genesis Technical Journal (Vol. 15 (3), Dec 2001), John Woodmorappe and Jonathan Sarfati make the following point:

“… particles-to-people evolution requires changes that increase genetic information content. To date, not a single example of such a change has been observed, but such changes should be plentiful if evolution were true.”

In his book Not By Chance! Shattering The Modern Theory of Evolution (p.138) the Jewish scientist Dr. Lee Spetner points out that,

“All point mutations that have been studied on the molecular level turn out to reduce the genetic information and not to increase it.”

The idea of gaining information naturally is what the average person intuitively understands about “evolution”. Of course he doesn’t think only of tabby cats or black cats; most individuals think of “big” changes, such as would allow a reptile to give rise to a bird. In other words, he doesn’t simply think intuitively only about changes within kind but assumes that many changes beyond kind have occurred in the process commonly called “evolution”. Many individuals tend to accept the subtle message driven home relentlessly in books, articles and on TV: that everything has changed somehow from the first molecules leading up to higher levels of creatures. The harsh reality of profound conceptual problems within evolution theory is largely glossed over by evolutionary propagandists. We need investigative journalists to expose this peddling of disinformation in the public arena!
