\"Inside<\/a>
Inside a bacterium. No nucleus and simple DNA.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Research done just three years ago has demolished any idea that we are evolved from bacteria, Christian Voice has discovered.<\/p>\n

The study, published in the pro-evolution journal Nature<\/em>, is never referred to by the proponents of evolution, who are more fond of quoting Lenski’s experiments on bacteria, in which E-Coli appeared to evolve an ability to digest citrate.<\/p>\n

But Lenski\u00a0started with E-Coli bacteria and ended with E-Coli bacteria. \u00a0They did not evolve into anything else. \u00a0And now we know why.<\/p>\n

Every form of life more complex than bacteria is comprised of cells with a nucleus. \u00a0Evolutionists have always said things like:<\/p>\n

‘All species on Earth evolved from bacteria<\/a><\/strong>‘ (General point ‘1’)<\/p>\n

‘Interestingly,\u00a0scientists have learned that mitochondria evolved from\u00a0bacteria\u00a0a long, long time ago<\/a><\/strong>‘ (Introduction)<\/p>\n

But statements like that can no longer be made, leaving evolutionists up a creek without a boat, let alone a paddle. \u00a0Evolutionists commenting on articles on our website always distance evolution from abiogenesis, the idea that life arose from non-life. \u00a0They recognise the lack of any evidence at all for abiogenesis, but regard the proposition that life as we see it today is accounted for by incremental changes over miiilions of years as one easier to sell to the public. \u00a0But even that is now in jeopardy.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>
A eukaryote, with its nucleus and mitochondria, has 1,000 times the DNA of a bacterium, and is the building block of all plant and animal life.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nick Lane and his fellow researcher William Martin in\u00a0“The energetics of genome complexity” (Nature, Oct 2010. 467 (7318): 929-934)<\/a> start by saying this:<\/p>\n

\u201cAll complex life is composed of eukaryotic (nucleated) cells. The eukaryotic cell arose from prokaryotes just once in four billion years, and otherwise prokaryotes show no tendency to evolve greater complexity. Why not?\u201d<\/p>\n

So \u201cprokaryotes\u201d (cells without a nucleus \u2013 such as bacteria) \u201cshow no tendency to evolve greater complexity\u201d. \u00a0Their claimed \u2018arising\u2019 of eukaryotes from prokaryotes is just conjecture, and their paper then demolishes the possibility that it could actually have happened. That is because their \u2018Why not\u2019 question has an answer, which they give: \u201cProkaryotic genome size is constrained by bioenergetics.\u201d That\u2019s the energy available to an organism, in layman\u2019s terms.<\/p>\n

Brian Thomas M.S., of the Institute for Creation Research, says they<\/a>: \u2018found that the total energy required to process eukaryotic DNA is far more than any bacterial system can produce.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018They therefore maintained that \u201cmitochondria (cellular structures that contain the instructions and tiny machinery to produce energy in cells \u2013 SG) are prerequisite to [eukaryote] complexity.\u201d They further wrote:<\/p>\n

\u2018\u201dThe transition to complex life on Earth was\u00a0a unique event<\/em>\u00a0that hinged on a bioenergetic jump afforded by spatially combinatorial relations between two cells and two genomes (endosymbiosis),\u00a0rather than natural selection<\/em>\u00a0acting on mutations accumulated gradually among physically isolated prokaryotic individuals.\u201d (emphasis added)\u2019<\/p>\n

This statement of Lane and Martin trips up evolution at its first primitive cell-with-a-nucleus hurdle. Eukaryotes have 1,000 times the DNA of bacteria \u2013 see the\u00a0pro-evolution Arizona Biology Project<\/a>) These authors say the transition from bacteria to the eukaryotic next stage cannot have happened by means of the evolutionary mechanisms (mutations and natural selection) upon which evolutionists rely.<\/p>\n

It needed \u2018a unique event\u2019, \u2018a bioenergetic jump\u2019. It needed more energy than bacteria possess, or have ever possessed. It needed a miracle. It needed Deus ex Machina. They will never admit it, but life needs God.<\/p>\n

What makes the Lane and Martin findings all the more powerful is that they are passionate evolutionists, continuing quite undaunted to write speculative articles about the mechanics of life ‘arising’ from the hostile conditions of sea vents<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0They need our prayers!<\/p>\n
