AN INTERESTING CREATIONIST VIEW OF EVOLUTIONARY PROBABILITY
James Fletcher Coppedge Jr. (1920 - 2004) was the founder of the Rangers and Christian Commandos and the Valley Cathedral Youth Center in Northridge, CA.
He wrote in the Preface to this 1973 book, "This short volume presents certain of the most interesting discoveries from the recent rapid advances in molecular biology which have excited scientist and layman alike... These facts ... will herein be examined in the context of that philosophy of science which has been predominant throughout the recent past, namely the philosophy of evolution. Certain key facts of current biological knowledge are studied in the light of that overview by applying the rules of probability reasoning, to find if such an overview can logically be sustained."
Here are some additional quotations from the book:
"The ability to duplicate accurately would seem to be impossible, short of a complicated coding system like DNA. Evolutionists working earnestly to explain the origin of life spontaneously will sometimes make vague references to proteins serving as TEMPLATES or patterns on which copies like themselves could form. No way has been found to make such an outcome occur." (Pg. 92)
"...the first task would be to form amino acids. This requires a different, primitive atmosphere with no oxygen, and with ultraviolet rays reaching earth's surface. Ultraviolet rays, however, are deadly to proteins and also to DNA (and RNA). Even if somehow life could start and there eventually were algae or plants to produce oxygen... it might require millions of years to get the ozone shield formed." (Pg. 153)
"...evolutionists used to say that the appendix was a useless vestigial organ. (To prevent alarm, Dr. Bierman stressed the belief that the great majority of people would not be in heightened danger after an appendectomy." (Pg. 205-206)
