How Old Is the House
Conflicts in Science by Royal T. McArdell
About the Book: How Old Is the House challenges many popular beliefs about scientific theories and scientific issues. Arguments both for and against popular theories and issues are presented so that you can make your own decisions as to what to believe. The Introduction is about a house that is either new or 150 years old- perhaps you can figure it out.

Evolution and Math Don't Agree
The concept that living things came into being via evolution is not well supported by mathematics. Species are identified by their unique differences, and if there are too many unique differences between similar species, probability theory indicates that the likelihood of one species evolving to another is virtually zero.
The author of the book “How Old Is the House” reports in a chapter of the book titled “Evolution Math” that if there are as few as fifty unique differences between two species; the likelihood that one could have evolved from the other is so small that it would take many universe times for it to occur. This is probably why the missing links are still missing. The gaps between species may be too large to bridge by any evolutionary process. The probability of a simple living cell developing by chance from non-living materials or chemicals is even more remote.
The DNA in a primate or human cell comes from both parents and while there are innumerable combinations that can occur in a single offspring, the DNA shows that the offspring is always of the same species as the parents. Any error in the replication of DNA almost always produces adverse effects. For evolution to occur, not only does an error in the DNA have to result in a benign or beneficial change, but a large number of such changes must be present in the DNA of an offspring for it to be a new species.
Fossil records show that species are unique rather than being a continuum of slight changes; in fact this is how we are able to identify them as separate species. The leap from one species to another would have to occur quickly rather than over a long period of time because we do not generally observe slight changes in fossil records. Darwin’s “Bulldog” Huxley probably recognized this problem with Darwin’s classification of distinct species. Huxley believed that large sudden changes had to happen, particularly in the evolution of man from primates. Darwin said that changes could only happen in small slow steps and did not mention man as part of the evolutionary process.
