The world famous book with a misleading title.

The book with the misleading title.
‘On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection’ (or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life) is the full title of Charles Darwin’s famous book on evolution.

The title of this book is very misleading because Darwinian evolution is not just about the origin of species, but the origin of every genus (all types of living things) by natural selection. And, also the natural origin of life itself.
Darwin proposed an original life form as a common ancestor for all living things.
"All organic beings that have lived on Earth could be descended from some primordial form," On the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin; published 1859.

The word ‘evolution’ simply means change.
Darwinian evolution is not just about speciation, the limited changes we see within an individual genus, but the progressive advancement; trans-genera - from a first, naturally generated, single cell, to all living things.

The origin of different genera requires new, genetic information.
You cannot originate genetic information by selection. The clue is in the word ‘selection’ You can only select from what is pre-existent in the gene pool.

Selection doesn’t create anything new.
If you start with the letters ABC - you cannot possibly select the letters XYZ, or even ABCD, from them. You can rearrange ABC in various ways, but that is the limit of your selective ability.
Likewise, if you start with the genetic information in a purported, first living cell (a primordial form, as Darwin called it), you can only select from the genetic information in that single cell. Such a microbe will always remain a microbe, no matter how much natural selection (of the fittest) takes place. The idea that you can produce an entirely new genus by natural (or artificial) selection is obvious nonsense. It has never been observed or demonstrated.
An honest title of Darwin’s book, which promotes the idea of progressive evolution, would be: ‘On the Origin of All Genera, by Natural Selection’ from a Spontaneously Generated, Single Cell.

The Darwinian claim that new, genetic information can be created by selection from existing genetic information is not only illogical; it violates natural laws and fundamental principles.
An effect cannot be greater than its cause.
Put another way; something cannot give what it doesn’t possess.
That is a fundamental principle of the Law of Cause and Effect.
Natural selection is not the wonderful ingredient that can drive progressive evolution. Just as we observe with selective breeding, variability is strictly limited within the bounds of existing, genetic information in the gene pool of each genus.

A consequence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is the law of entropy, which supports the principle that an effect cannot be greater than its cause.
Entropy applies to all, natural entities.
Darwinian, progressive evolution requires the opposite of the entropy tendency; an increase in order and complexity.
Entropy can only be halted or reversed, on a temporary basis, by an input of guided/directed (controlled) energy, or by a guidance/control mechanism in the recipient of energy, able to utilise it in a constructive way.
Furthermore, as would be expected, Information Theory tells us there is no known, natural mechanism which can create constructive information.

Of course, informed, intelligent Darwinists know all this, but choose to ignore it. Rather than honestly ditching the hopeless, progressive evolution story, they attempt to rescue it with more unscientific nonsense.
They claim that the purported, original, spontaneously generated, single cell was transformed gradually into every living thing, over millions of years, by an incredibly long accumulation of billions of naturally selected mutations. Which, incrementally, provided all the new, complex, genetic information required to construct entirely new, biological and botanical features, organs and body parts.
That unverified assumption (of beneficial, constructive mutations), which they present as though it is a scientific fact, is their sole source for every scrap of genetic information in the entire genome of humans and every other living thing.

Put simply, the massive, genetic information deficit, between goo and you, is filled entirely by mutations.
If you think that is incredible, you are perfectly correct.

Mutations are damaging and deleterious, they are genetic copying ‘mistakes’, mistakes don’t create new, useful information, they damage it.
Mutations cause illness and deformities and are often fatal.
They are not something desirable.
They certainly are an agent for change, but not for improvement.
You won’t get evolutionists, who believe that mutations are the mechanism of progress, deliberately subjecting themselves to mutagenic agents in order to give their idea of evolution a helping hand.

If you make typing errors while copying a literary work, it doesn’t improve the work, or make it easier to understand, it is likely to do the exact opposite. The more errors, in copies of previous copies, the worse it will become.
The idea; that editors could incrementally improve an original, literary work by ‘selecting’ and retaining the ‘best’ errors in each copy of a preceding copy, is crazy.

It is obvious that an accumulation of mutations cannot change a single celled microbe into humans, no matter how many billions of consecutive mutations there are, how they are selected, or however long the timescale.
Yet this imagined, spontaneously generated, original microbe is proposed as the common ancestor of humans and all living things. It defies common sense and is an insult to genuine science. Even so, it is routinely presented to the public, through media and state education systems, as scientific fact.

It is common sense that something cannot give what it doesn’t possess.
Remember the old saying; you can’t get blood out of a stone.
Why can’t you?
Obviously because, not only is there no blood in a stone, there is no way a stone can create blood. It doesn’t have that inherent ability or potential.
Yet, Darwinists tell us that; not just blood, but all life originated from the rocks of the Earth, by natural processes.
Nature has no inherent ability or potential to create life or intelligence. A natural, first cause such as a Big Bang explosion cannot impart such an amazing predisposition for order, information, life and intelligence. It cannot give what it doesn’t possess.
The entire universe and natural realm is an effect of the first cause. It’s properties and qualities cannot exceed the properties or qualities of that which caused it.
Things can only do what they are predisposed to do within the bounds of their inherent abilities and properties. If anyone disagrees, it is incumbent on them to explain where the means, properties or potential to produce intelligent life comes from in dumb matter? How can matter, claimed to have arisen of its own volition from nothing, be inherently predisposed to produce order, information, life, consciousness and intelligence?
Don’t hold your breath waiting for an answer.

Addendum.
You may want to ask; where the genetic information in the alleged, first living cell came from?
The honest answer is: they don’t know. No one knows.
However, if you ask an evolutionist they will usually respond by explaining how they think DNA originated by chemical processes. Which, of course, doesn’t answer the question.
DNA is the code which stores genetic information, The information is expressed in a precise arrangement or sequence of amino acids.
Explaining how DNA originated is deliberately avoiding the question.
If you asked how Shakespeare was able to devise the plots of his plays? You wouldn’t expect the answer to be an explanation of the chemical processes involved in making paper and ink.
If you ask about the origin of the software, you don’t want, or expect, an explanation of the origin of the hardware.
That is just a diversionary tactic, because evolutionists don’t want to admit there is no possible, natural process capable of producing the software.

Letter from Darwin to J D Hooker 1871. Regarding Pangenesis (abiogenesis).
It reveals his wishful thinking in favour of Pangenesis (the ancient belief in the spontaneous generation of life) and his reluctance to accept that it had been decisively debunked by scientists, such as Louis Pasteur.

My dear Hooker

I return the pamphlets, which I have been very glad to read.— It will be a curious discovery if Mr. Lowne’s observation that boiling does not kill certain moulds is proved true; but then how on earth is the absence of all living things in Pasteur’s experiment to be accounted for? I am always delighted to see a word in favour of Pangenesis, which some day, I believe, will have a resurrection. Mr Dyers paper strikes me as a very able Spencerian production.

It is often said that all the conditions for the first production of a living organism are now present, which could ever have been present.— But if (& oh what a big if) we could conceive in some warm little pond with all sorts of ammonia & phosphoric salts,—light, heat, electricity &c present, that a protein compound was chemically formed, ready to undergo still more complex changes, at the present day such matter would be instantly devoured, or absorbed, which would not have been the case before living creatures were formed.—
