"This theory states that the code is universal because at the present time any change wovld be lethal, or at least very strongly selected against.
This accounts for the fact that the code does not change.
This is because in all organisms (with the possible exception of certain virases) the code determines (by reading the mRNA) the amino acid sequences of so many highly evolved protein molecules that any change to these would be highly disadvantageous unless accompanied by many simultaneous mutations to correct the “mistakes” produced by altering the code.
This accounts for the fact that the code does not change.
To account for it being the same in all organisms one must assume that all life evolved from a single organism (more strictly, from a single closely interbreeding population).
In its extreme form, the theory implies that the allocation of codons to amino acids at this point was entirely a matter of “chance”." TheOriginOfTheGeneticCode
In other words, evolution can't really happen because it would trigger a cascade of changes that would in essence, destroy the whole genome. But because we are here--it must have somehow happened and therefore the mistake "froze" at the right moment and preserved it throughout time.....More NONSENSE from the world of evolution....BTW, the self proclaimed "sophisticated" Richard Dawkins finds this theory to be "interesting" on p.409 of his book the greatest show on earth....
