A normal reaction from a sober human being would look more like the “Wow!” icon: raised eyebrows, open mouth, a look of astonishment, incredulity, disbelief, awe, wonder, maybe even worship of a Creator who could make such a thing. Error correction? In a tiny cell? In the tiny nucleus of a cell? That’s incredible!
To a simple-minded Darwinist, though, ‘it evolved.’ It just evolved. Stuff Happens. Charles Darwin (pause and chant: may his memory be forever blessed) gave us “understanding” of such things.
A surprisingly quick enzyme could shift our understanding of evolution (New Scientist, 1o June 2024). Someone should have leaned over and whispered in the ear of reporter Karmela Padavic-Callaghan, suggesting she might want to rethink what she is about to write:
"By trying to speed up, molecular processes can become more reliable – a phenomenon that may have helped life evolve from relatively simple chemicals. Understanding how speed plays a role in cellular replication could add a crucial variable to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, in which natural selection drives reproductive success."
She’s describing an irreducibly complex molecular machine that zips along a DNA molecule and corrects mistakes—a proofreading machine. To imagine that evolving from “relatively simple chemicals” by blind chance: well, there is not a big enough font to spell SIMPLISTIC for that notion." CEH
