Video: Still NO fossils?

Dear brothers and sisters,

Ponder the information in even the simplest living cell. There are the assembly instructions for building protein molecules and protein machines that the cell needs to survive. But where did this information come from?  Random variation and natural selection, the Darwinian mechanism is of no help here. Natural selection, after all, presupposes the existence of already living things and a mechanism of self-replication. It has nothing to say whatever about the origin of the information in the first living thing.

Chemistry and physics are of no help here either.

Information always arises as a product of mind.

Consciousness is the only known source of information. A hieroglyphic carved in stone…  a Shakespeare sonnet…  the coding in a computer program…all these   arise from consciousness. There is no other cause.

Furthermore, instead of the gradual, tree like structure of evolving life posited by  Darwin there have been sudden explosions of new life.The most dramatic occurred in the Cambrian epoch beginning about 530 million years ago when most major groups of animals first appeared in the fossil record. Later, many other explosions of new biological forms- the first insects, turtles, dinosaurs, sea reptiles, birds, flowering plants mammals and other major groups also appear abruptly in the fossil record. In each case, building these new forms of life with their anatomical novelties would've required massive "explosions" of new genetic information.Where did the information  come from? Who wrote the computer code?

By substituting  a mechanistic explanation for the miracle of existence, Darwinism has contributed to the  the deathliness  we see all around. It has made us oblivious to the   miracle of sight, the miracle of hearing, the miracle of smell, the miracle of taste and the miracle of touch. It has nothing to say of the miracle of consciousness.Rather, it has dumbed us down and made us stupid.

We feel privileged to call to your attention a brilliant video on the contradictions and gaps

in “the science” that has prevailed for over 150 years.

Your comments, as always, are deeply appreciated.
