It is clear that new [[gene]] [[alleles]] are accumulating in populations today, but there are two possible sources for these changes; mutations and intentional changes introduced by [[genetic recombination]]. The [[theory of evolution]] attributes the continued production of genetic diversity to mutations, but [[evolutionists]] overlook the fact that the [[cell]] was [[intelligent design|intelligently designed]]. The cellular machinery was programmed to perform a level of self genetic engineering, and is editing genes systematically through a process called so that organisms can [[adaptation|adapt]] to a wide variety of conditions. | It is clear that new [[gene]] [[alleles]] are accumulating in populations today, but there are two possible sources for these changes; mutations and intentional changes introduced by [[genetic recombination]].

Evolutionists contend that mutation, acted upon by [[natural selection]], is the mechanism for evolutionary advancement. However, they remain unable to provide even one single example of a genetic mutation that increases the information in the genome, producing new beneficial types of structures and functions not already resident in the ancestral gene pool of the species. | Evolutionists contend that mutation, acted upon by [[natural selection]], is the mechanism for evolutionary advancement.
