Science vs. Evolution
"Now we know that the cell itself is far more complex
than we had imagined. It includes thousands of
functioning enzymes, each one of them a complex
machine itself. Furthermore, each enzyme comes into
being in response to a gene, a strand of DNA. The
information content of the gene in its complexity must
be as great as that of the enzyme it controls.
"A medium protein might include about 300 amino
acids. The DNA gene controlling this would have about
1000 nucleotides in its chain. Since there are four kinds
of nucleotides in a DNA chain, one consisting of 1000
links could exist in 4 1000 different forms.
"Using a little algebra (logarithms) we can see that
4 1000 is equivalent to 10 600 . Ten multiplied by itself 600
times gives the figure 1 followed by 600 zeros! This number
is completely beyond our comprehension."—*Frank
Salisbury, "Doubts about the Modern Synthetic Theory
of Evolution," American Biology Teacher, September
1971, pp. 336-338.
