CRISPR Challenges the Tenets of Evolution Theory
Microbes once thought to be life’s simplest forms, are now known to use complex synchronized genetic processing as a defensive system against foreign invading micro-organisms.
As a previously unknown and unrecognized genetic mechanism, CRISPR challenges the tenets of evolution. This microbe defense process, now known as CRISPR, further undermines natural selection’s fundamental tenet of early life spontaneously emerging from simple processes.
In The Origin of Species, Charles Darwin envisioned life starting “from so simple beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful.” CRISPR presents a new challenge to current theories of evolution, including Darwinism, neo-Darwinism, and the Modern Synthesis theory of evolution.
