turn the genes on and off; it has to have all the cellspreprogrammed to do what they are going to do so theyrespond to the signals they get in the right way. Thelarval cells have to know they are going to die. ... [Theprocess] has to happen rapidly and in a coordinatedfashion. Once you’re committed to the chrysalis stage,there is no going back. You have to complete thetransition. A caterpillar that is equipped to go 10 percent,25 percent through metamorphosis is no way throughmetamorphosis. Part way in a process that requiresgetting out the other side as a fully formed adult doesn’twork. You have to recreate adult legs, adult antennae,adult eyes; you have to change the shape of the brain andthe connections to the organs; you have to reformat thegut so that it switches from eating plant material to eatingnectar. How many mutations does it take? And how doyou coordinate all of that? If you get the eyes right butthe gut wrong it’s a failure as a butterfly. If you get thewings right and the legs right but the muscles don’tattach, that butterfly is going nowhere. It’s dead. Youbegin to see the depths of the problem. So for evolutionto have created this sort of pathway, gradually, it wouldtake a miracle. Metamorphosis, if it came into existenceat all by an undirected process, had to have done so inone fell swoop. Natural selection, by definition, cannotbuild that kind of process. To create a process likemetamorphosis, you’d need a totally different type ofcause, something that could see a distant target, keep thattarget in focus, and provide all the resources necessary tohit the bull’s eye on the first shot. The only cause thatcould accomplish that is an intelligent agent.” IllustraMedia, 2011, www.illustramedia.comMOUNT ST. HELENS: EXPLOSIVE EVIDENCEFOR CATASTROPHE. In this video Dr. Steve Austin145
