Of Mouse traps and Men!




A couple of weeks ago I went hunting: mouse hunting.
In two nights I bagged the whole family.
Prior to this great triumph I had tried new-fangled traps, one a glue-tent and the other a super-special.

Neither worked and I came back to a tried and true 'cheese and spring' affair that my dad used 60 years ago.

Adding together the base, the coil, the staples, the trip-wire and the bait prong there were nine parts in all.

If ONE of these parts was missing the trap could not work.

This trap was designed and produced;IT DID NOT EVOLVE.

If a staple was missing it would not hold to the base.If there was no bait prong the mice would have a free lunch. It's called:

The irreducible minimum.

The trap had to be made in ONE process and it had to be designed.

How much more a human cell with 1,000 parts, all of which must work in unison if it is to reproduce.

If a mere mouse trap cannot evolve, how come scientists tell us that a human cell evolved?

It's a fable ... a fancy glue tent that doesn't work.

Jubilate.
