Why Natural Selection is NOT Evolution. An interview with Dr. Don Batten. From Creation Talk. March 13, 2024. Link posted on WordExplain July 28, 2024	Natural selection is a conservative, cullling force, rather than a creative one. Moreover, mutations are a destructive force, not a creative one. Can you imagine a computer program that would be improved by random changes in the coding? Neither natural selection or mutations add new information. Neither add a new gene. A long-term evolution experiment showed no evolution after 70,000 generations! Conclusion: Nature reveals design, not natural processes. It points to a Creator!
Humans and octopuses use the same mechanism to induce variation in the brain: LINE retrotransposition. By Peer Terborg. This article is from the Journal of Creation 37(1):13-15, April 2023. Linked in WordExplain July 27, 2024.	The topic is Human and Octopus "Convergence." I place the term "convergence" in quotes because it is an evolutionary construct conveniently invented to explain functional similarities between animals that are not in the same "evolutionary tree." To be honest, convergence requires a suspension of credulity. How many "miracles" do evolutionists need, anyway? The following paragraph quotes the conclusion of the article: That we find LINEs with the exact same function in both vertebrates and mollusks is a strong argument that shared retrotransposons, even if they are present in the exact same location in the DNA, do not necessarily imply common ancestry. Rather, their functional presence argues for a front-loaded modular design system to induce controlled and regulated variation. Such mechanisms, which are increasingly identified in the genomes of organisms, witness to the greatness of the Creator, who foreknew of the Fall of man and of the worldwide Flood. In His immeasurable goodness, He designed his creatures in such way that they could rapidly adapt to entirely novel environments and fill every corner and crevice of the earth.
