It is interesting to think about Darwin's theory of evolution. His.postulation is regarding numerous anatomical changes he claims are accounted for by many small mutations. The man really worked on his theory. However he failed to see the impossibility of such random occurrences producing complex systems.(immune system, blood clotting, eye, etc.), which function in ways necessary to sustain life. We can't blame him, as Darwin had no access to the knowledge of biochemical processes to ascertain such things as the Bombardier's beetle's function, blood coagulation, etc. Many molecular components.(tens of thousands of different types of molecules).are involved in these things. Darwin had trouble here too. 

Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection predicts only that organisms will get better at surviving and reproducing in their current environment, not that they will become more complex, although many today think, in error, that his theory predicts this. 

"According to Darwin, features in diverse.organisms are structurally similar.(homologous).because they are inherited from a common ancestor. Biological inheritance implies that such features are more similar because they are produced by similar genes or developmental pathways, but this implication is contradicted by the genetic and embryological evidence."....Jonathan Wells. Jonathan holds doctorates in both biology at Berkeley and theology at Yale. He is currently a postdoctoral research biologist in the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of California, Berkeley and a fellow of the Discovery Institute in Seattle....Book.Homology in Biology: A Problem for Naturalistic Science, presented at the Conference on Naturalism, Theism and the Scientific Enterprise, Department of Philosophy, University of Texas, Austin, February 1997.

By means of biochemistry, we can interrogate complex functions, information unobtainable in Darwin's time.

A theory is valuable only if it can lead to new findings. In order to claim today that a system developed gradually by a Darwinian mechanism.(a way Darwin apparently came up with), it must be shown that a system's function could have been formed by numerous successive slight modifications. If this cannot be shown and it hasn't, as you'll soon see, then, in the light of corroborative information available to the contrary through various means including biochemistry, the theory of evolution becomes a spurious story. Why?

Natural selection doesn't harmonize with the coexistence of closely similar structures of diverse origins. Natural selection throws no light whatsoever upon many remarkable phenomena in organic forms.(living things, organisms). 

The idea of Darwinian natural selection is that it can only choose systems which are already working, in order for natural selection to have anything to act upon. 

The interrogatory is: Can Darwin's idea of natural selection acting upon random variation explain life's foundation? How does the body fight disease? How does blood clot? Why is the body heat of animals due to the combustion of food? What controls the burning and cooling mechanisms, so that a human's body temperature is maintained at 98.6 degrees? How is energy extracted from food? How is the temperature set? Why does hemoglobin attach to oxygen? And, how did the Earth ever come to have oxygen? These and other severely important matters of life require rigorous evaluation. Why are we here is still being asked today. Maintenance of life requires complicated activities made possible by complex biological mechanisms, of which Darwin and his posthumous.colleagues lacked scientificoverstanding.

The brain.(our information processor).and the systems it depends upon to function the constant stimulation from the eyes, etc., is critically dependent upon oxygen. Without oxygen and stimulation, perception, memory and thought are lost as the processor, the brain shuts down. As you can see, in order for the whole system to function, all necessary had to be designed properly right from the start.

The brain knows how to wire its complex self as all the connections develop. It 'knows how' to determine, fabricate and unite into a single organizational whole, all under its consideration.

Genes code for a draft circuit arrangement, allowing for the inclusion of neurons at the rate of some 15 million an hour to be incorporated into the main brain circuit as development occurs. Certain chemicals necessary for this do more than just excite nerve cells.(classical neurotransmission); they alter proteins, called neuromodulation.
