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 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. There are many examples put forward by evolutionary biologists that attempt to show how new genes have been introduced to the genome of an [[organism]]. However the new information that is contained in the organism, can be seen in virtually all cases as coming from pre-existing genes already present or what can be defined as built-in plasticity or variation within originally [[created kinds]] of [[animals]]. Merely shuffling of pre-existing genes within evolutionary thought is woefully inadequate to explain the massive change of molecules-to-man. Especially when in most examples it is often unknown what process is actually responsible for the creation of this new genetic material or [[phenotype]] expression. | Evolutionists contend that mutation, acted upon by [[natural selection]] is the mechanism for evolutionary advancement.
