Colin Patterson's Survival Of The Mistakes

On November 5, 1981, the late Colin Patterson, who was the senior paleontologist of the British museum of Natural History in London addressed his fellow evolutionary colleagues in an address and quoted with saying:
“One morning I woke up and something had happened in the night, and it struck me that I had been working on this stuff for twenty years and there was not one thing I knew about it. That’s quite a shock to learn that one can be misled so long. Either there was something wrong with me, or there was something wrong with evolution theory .”
The theory of macroevolution has been accepted by scientists since the 1800’s, and they claim to have a heap of evidence, but it may not be as strong as they want society to think. Evidence used

They combined methane, ammonia, water vapor, and hydrogen and shocked the mixture with a high voltage source. The result was a mixture of various chemicals and some amino acids. Amino acids are considered to be the “building blocks of life”. The amino acids make up proteins which make up DNA. After the experiments results were circulated in the scientific world, scientists believed they would soon be creating life itself. Jonathan Wells, PhD in cell development of biology, reveals in his article, “Survival of the Fakest”, the faulty evidence used to support macroevolution and he specifically mentions the Miller-Urey experiment and its weaknesses. The two main problems with the experiment are the chemicals and the products of the experiment. The chemicals they used really were not the correct gases in the suggested volcanic atmosphere of the Earth’s past. Miller and Urey purposely used low amounts of oxygen and high amounts of hydrogen and nitrogen, which would be the perfect conditions in order for the experiment to yield positive results. If Miller and Urey used volcanic gases which is the proposed atmosphere for early Earth and added the right amounts of oxygen, then the experiment would not have made any amino acids (Penn State). Jonathan Wells revealed that the chemicals found with the amino acids would actually prevent the possibility of a protein forming and ultimately DNA. Nonetheless, even if those chemicals did not hinder the formation of proteins, then there would still be problems with the products of the Miller-Urey experiment. The DNA of organisms is so complex that even if those amino acids could come together, it would still be extremely improbable for them to line up exactly. Likewise, the experiment did not create all the amino acids found to make a protein, only some amino acids were
