[QUOTE="tas8831, post: 71716139, member: 397968"] How do error correction mechanisms jive with the claims of many prominent creationists that God cursed us to have mutations? The crack science experts at the Institute for Creation Science tell us that: "The curse God placed on all of creation because of Adam’s disobedience led to disease and death." [url=http://www.icr.org/article/10018]Cancer Research Confirms the Curse[/url] And how is this all-loving God's 'curse' manifested (let us ignore, for now, the repugnant immorality of 'cursing' all humanity for the 'sin' of one human...), according to ICR? "Cancer occurs when pockets of cells proliferate out of control, a growth that DNA copying errors sometimes trigger. Living cells copy their DNA just before they divide. Human DNA strands have millions of specific chemicals, like letters in an encyclopedia, that record information for core life processes. Precision protein machines copy DNA “letters” at jet-engine speeds, yet perform so efficiently that only about one wrong letter arises among a billion. But even these few mutations can garble DNA’s information enough to lead to cancer, especially in tissues that undergo many cell divisions within a human lifetime." So, did God 'curse' us with mutations, or 'save' us with mutation-correction enzymes? Please explain this internally contradictory creationist conundrum. [/QUOTE]
