An accident of this sort can never 1 " 1 rorod : 1 increase organization but will result only in damage, in the same way as throwing a watch on the ground can never increase its precision, nor can hitting a computer with a spanner endow it with extra calculating properties. And the time factor will not change anything since what was impossible yesterday will also be impossible today. The mutation itself always stays within the confines of the species. For example, among the innumerable mutations provoked in Drosophila, not one produced a different species or anything different from its ancestors. The flies’ size, color and morphology may vary but not even a series of mutations has ever produced a new organism with attributes that never existed before. Living cells are composed of extremely complex molecules, themselves made up of many combinations of atoms; so how is it possible that these delicate structures spontaneously form their constituent parts, randomly scattered around? Inanimate matter doesn’t seek to complicate itself, but on the contrary tends towards disorganization and stability. It is no use saying that it will happen someday, since with time comes decomposition and disintegration. The tendency that every organic structure has to revert to disorganization is spelt out in the thermodynamic law which defines the function of entropy. There is never a gain in order without the intervention of an outside force. Therefore, inanimate matter containing no energy or movement will always stay inert in the absence of any guiding hand to organize and direct it. Thus the theory of evolution lies in direct contradiction with the law of entropy. The methods that have been used for building the theory of evolution are totally unscientific, and will continue to be so for as long as the transformists don’t consider objectively the evidence and continue to force the facts. True advances will happen only when glory seeking, petty arguing, fear of reputation and egocentrism disappear to allow honest 329 COMMENTARIES & TESTIMONIALS OF RAELIANS - RAELISM THROUGH THE EYES OF SCIENCE
