Darwin's "Tree of Life"

More Complex than Previously Thought-Part III

Scientists are now claiming that, “…the tree of life, which shows how species are related, is ‘wrong’ and ‘misleading.’” Basically, the problem is that evolution is far to complex to be explained by a few roots and branches.(1)
Dr Eric Bapteste, an evolutionary biologist at the Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris, said: “For a long time the holy grail was to build a tree of life. We have no evidence at all that the tree of life is a reality.”
The discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953 – whose pioneers believed it would provide proof of Darwin’s tree – opened up new vistas for evolutionary biology.
But current research is finding a far more complex scenario than Darwin could have imagined – particularly in relation to bacteria and single-celled organisms.
…
Dr Rose said: “The tree of life is being politely buried – we all know that. What’s less accepted is our whole fundamental view of biology needs to change.”
He says biology is vastly more complex than we thought and facing up to this complexity will be as scary as the conceptual upheavals physicists had to take on board in the early 20th century.
The conclusion:
Many predictions of evolution have been falsified, including foundational expectations. Evolutionists have added explanations to their theory to account for these problematic findings. The drawback is that this greatly complicates the theory. Scientific theories are supposed to be parsimonious, explaining future findings with simple explanations rather than explaining past findings with complicated explanations…
The theory of evolution has consistently failed and as a consequence it has grown far more complex than anything Darwin ever envisioned. Therefore evolution is not a good scientific theory…
Dr. Rose, as well as hundreds of other scientists (not Darwinian religionists), will never be heard in a science classroom. The fundamentalist Darwinian will make sure that Dr. Rose, and the others, will never be heard, since he provides evidence that their naturalistic god is mere fairy tale!
