"All things upon the face of it (the earth)...do witness that there is a Supreme Being. Biological life includes all forms and species of living things I.e. plants, insects, fowls, mammals, fishes, and microbial forms of organisms. Each of these witness an Intelligent design and Designer. Each has a DNA code that defines their entire life form."
The DNA codes for complex proteins (I.e. hemoglobin, albumin, amylase, etc.) that perform specific functions. Hundreds of cell types are formed by the DNA code made by stem cells in the bone marrow. Most, if not all, of the proteins and enzymes can be mutated resulting in impaired function. Few mutations are beneficial; most are detrimental. Mutations have yet to be shown to create a new species. Worms will forever be worms, etc. The statistical probability of raw elements formed by random chance can produce a functional anything is beyond calculation.
Science has established a basis for studying biological life in concert with scripture, which states that the Glory of God is intelligence. Biological life affirms this, as an Intelligent Designer is behind each cell and cellular process that has been currently defined. So far, Science has yet to demonstrate that it can reproduce the most basic form of organizing the chemicals that form the base of the DNA molecule.
The term evolution should be abandoned and replaced with adaptation. Thousands of species have been shown to implement adaptation for survival. They are still the same species and their DNA code was designed to provide that mechanism for environmental challenges.
I studied hemoglobins, the over 1000 structural variants, and the varied forms of impaired globin chain assemblies; not one is beneficial. And hemoglobin is one of several thousand proteins that are in the human body." David Hocking Managing Editor Annotated Book of Mormon
